so is the whole "put on a mask, refresh at shadowglen and get attacked" thing still going on? my bf's been refreshing like crazy and hasn't been attacked yet :x

As far as I know it's still going on. But it's a random event so he just has to keep working until he gets it.

Took me 4 hours to get infected, taken other longer. Tell him to sit back and enjoy refreshing, he'll probably be doing it awhile.

and remember to check the Healer in Riverside periodically. I missed the event and gave up refreshing. I thought to check the Healer many hours later and I WAS infected!

Just hold down the F5 key. After about a minute or so I was infected.
