I've read through a fair amount of it, and it seems the plague may not be the bad thing you think it is. At any rate, there are remedies. It's more of a mystery, and apparently things like this happen in the Kingdom. Keeps things interesting, and people on their toes.

Yes, but if you read more into the history of KoL goings-on you'll note that there's also a history of things that require lots of meat to fix or that otherwise make it impossible for newer players to continue on until the little diversion has ended. They're seen as fixes for unbalanced economies and proliferation of "multis." Look for "mafia" threads from 11/04, for one example.

Do I know what will happen now? Of course not. Maybe nothing will happen. Maybe my character will magically get better. Maybe the "cure" will be obtainable by people whose meat totals aren't in the millions. Or maybe not. I don't know. I do know that I can't chat any more, which makes it less fun for me. Some people think it makes things interesting. I think it makes things annoying when I have to keep restarting. Just my personal opinion.
