Hakkar would cast Corrupted Blood on gamers and it might damage them for approximately ten seconds. Players would spread the effect to others if they got too close to those infected. After the 10 seconds were done, or players finished the boss battle, the damaging effect was supposed to finish. Only it did not.

A programming supervision enabled the debuff to disperse beyond the website of the Hakkar boss fight and to the world at large. Much like rats fueled the Bubonic Plague, characters' trained creatures lacked the Corrupted Blood outbreak. Hunter characters can summon and dismiss pets to fight at their side at will. Once dismissed, all of the effects on the pets have been paused until it is known as back out again. In effect, the critters would contract Corrupted Blood during the boss fight, disappear and then exhibit the symptoms elsewhere in the world map when they were summoned. There it might spread to other pets and players which came in contact with them.

Cities like the dwarven town Ironforge and buy wow gold classic orc town Orgrimmar were overrun within hours. Non-playable personalities, who could not die as a result of particular coding, could also catch the effect, meaning any participant who passed by them could get Corrupted Blood.
