"the gameplay design of the event (when you are killed by a zombie, you become one) was tuned towards fueling the story and the immersion"

Actually, the gameplay completely disrupted any immersion in the event--we're supposed to want to fight Arthas, not run around going "tee hee, I'm a zombie!". Based on how many players responded to the event, I expect Azeroth to welcome Arthas with open arms.

It would have been much creepier, I think, if infection had been totally random, and player zombies were under the control of the wow AI.

Imagine the tears if that had been the case...

Actually, from someone who LOVED the zombie invasion, I do agree here. The Scourge is a terrifying thing and the sort of B-Movie gloves it was handled with did bug me a little.

I WOULD have liked to have seen more creepy, less lols, but it wasn't a deal breaker by any means.
