Roleplay/OOC: The Blacklung Plague

Though there has been some time since the start of this epidemic, I find myself constantly amused with how far this Meta Plot has gone. Originally started by dangeraaron10 on the GW2RP Forums (Post found here: BLACKLUNG PLAGUE ) it's spread through Tarnished Coast well... Like a Plague. Though I am apart of this meta plot myself in minor ways and not apart of the heros who plan on taking out the infamous Dr. Okeer for this plague stunt, I can't help but smile and love the community of Tarnished Coast for partaking in such a meta plot. In past experiences I've witnessed communities simply ignoring and continuing on with their day-to-day drull routine. This has given that drull some spice, and some fear.

I don't expect this plague to last forever, perhaps small relapses after the protagonist is dead (or simply removed) - but for anyone interested in following some of his neferious updates you can head over to his GW2RP profile here: LINK! There  you can find updates on plague bomb hits and any other tid-bits you are curious about it.

Though I am sure there are several places who have managed to revert the Plague back to stage one in one fashion or another - I remind anyone who reads this and is interested on being infected by this dastardly plague - that Q.I. Labs - Run by Abranka, has managed to find a syrum which reverts the plauge back to stage one for a limited time. With the assistance of the Tyrian Apple Company, we've managed to let this be known a bit as well as other helpful parties in our roleplay adventures, as well as the C.H.A.T.T. network.

There has been a Priory Update as followed posted on the Blacklung Thread:

PRIORY UPDATE

"It is to out deepest regret that here at the Durmand Priory we must update you with the gravest of news.

We have been working around the clock with the provided sample of the cure in hopes to figure out how to produce the antibiotic to cure the plague. Our progress slowed when we couldn't trace how the cure was formed. We were getting closer, but alas, have been forced to come to a screeching halt. Our lab was destroyed.

We are not sure how the chemicals on the other side of the lab were tampered with. Most of our scientists have made the cure top priority and due to this, we had placed other projects on halt. Alas, in the explosion, the cure was lost (along with group paper work). Some of us had personal journals on our findings, and we're currently placing our notes together in hopes that we can at least explore different routes of knowledge. Yet, without the cure, we cannot produce any antibiotics.

We are all deeply discouraged by the turn of events that happened, and a full investigation of the explosion is underway. 

Celestial Seer, Mender of the Grove, Réalta."

To further this, the Krytan Herald has been adding to this fear and cling of hope for a cure by making postings. The writers of the Krytan Herald have done a marvelous job of keeping members of Tyria updated on what exactly is going on. Below you'll be able to find the updates from the Krytan Herald from start to current following the Plague.

 Enjoy the Plague all! Try not to get infected!
