For players who already are on the cap lvl and perhaps already have most of the goals they established for the content that is available at the moment (prior to WotLK) the event was a fresh new idea, something that could be a different thing to do. But for new players, who have a bit of a long way to get to lvl 70 and start to truly enjoy all the content of WoW it was a big frustation (especially around the westfall) because they couldn't get or turn in the quests they needed to lvl up, they could buy or sell equipment. And don't forget because of being low lvl even becoming a zombie wasn't fun because the lvl 70 NPC or other players would kill them in 2 seconds... so they couldnt really take any good thing from this event....

If the zombies could kill your mount, and loot your corpse of all of your gear then it would be like UO. Comparing the invasion to UO is a bit of an exaggeration.

PvP were used to being ganked whether its a zombie, or an enemy player..no big whoop. I think PvE server people had the hardest time with it.

But there's a caveat: during most of its duration I was out and about in the wilds of Outland questing and leveling up an alt. I only touched down on Azeroth cities whenever I needed to auction stuff or train. Shattrath was messy though. However, in my guild, it's about a 50/50 split between people who hated it (because of its obstructionist nature) and people who loved it (because it was radically new). I did not take part in any organized defense initiatives, nor did I spend much time in the cities so I was never really vulnerable. Only one time I went to check on the LW trainer in Shattrath and he was gone due to zombie attack, but oh well. I kept going and did something else. It's been 50/50, from what I've seen.
