As you can see from the screenshot above, the in-game exploit caused massive city deaths. "Earlier today, certain realms were affected by an in-game exploit, resulting in the deaths of player characters and non-player characters in some of the major cities. This exploit has already been hotfixed, so it should not be repeatable. It's safe to continue playing and adventuring in major cities and elsewhere in Azeroth," Blizzard stated in an official blog post. The company is taking this very seriously and is undergoing an investigation to see how this happened. If you play this game, were you able to see the exploit taking place? Take a look at the video below which shows the in-game exploit in action:
