Virus/Plague System

[NeoBasilisk]

There could be a system where a pandemic can spread through the world and affect hearthlings. Maybe it would originate through contact with a specific animal, or maybe more realistically it could arise spontaneously with a randomly chosen "patient zero." The virus would cause significant debuffs and last a long time and of course have no cure. Any object or item that an affected player interacts with has a chance of acquiring the virus, and any player that interacts with an infected object or player will also have a chance of acquiring the virus.

Disincentivizing player interaction is dumb.

The players do that just fine by themselves.

Humanity is the biggest plague that exist, dunno why You want more of it and give people more reasons to say inside.
