OK, the zombie apocalypse is actually over (for now), but for the last week there was a really amazing world event in World of Warcraft that was unfolding over a course of hours, not days or weeks.
To make a long story short, the new WoW expansion "Wrath of the Lich King" comes out on Nov 14. But the Lich King's pissed now, and he's hitting the good guys hard several weeks in advance of the expansion. Over the course of several days, a zombie plague was unleashed on the planet through infected rats, cockroaches, and "suspicious crates" stacked in various capital cities. Players who were infected contracted a disease that after 10 mins would kill them and turn them into a zombie, at which point they could start attacking every one else to further spread the plague. Over the course of a few days, the plague's incubation timer dropped from 10 mins to 5 mins, to 2 mins, to 1 min... and by that point zombies were running amok EVERYWHERE. It was pretty awesome.
WoWInsider.com has a great general guide to the event posted here, and below is a fun screenshot of the general chaos.
