Duuuude, I read an article a while ago calling this a really good opportunity for the studying the possible effects of a wide-spread plague on mankind without actually, you know, inflicting a wide-spread plague on mankind. Apparently, they thought the MMORPG would be a really good way to simulate what people were likely to do then, i.e., some would help, some would run away, some would loot or infect others, etc.
