That's one lazy zombie

But really, it was probably someone just rezzing at a Wayshrine , and because of lag or phasing issues it looked like it did.

Now if you see this all over the place, It would then be reason for alarm. Start checking yourself for any bite marks or scratches, and any signs of unexplainable lethargy. Also get yourself a good Zombie Plan, at least 37 of them (36 of them should consist of using another player as bait).


PSA: If you do start seeing this all over the place just /bug in game, include screen shots, and report on the forums (remember don't include names of characters in forums, rules you know).

It possible that it's just a bug or lag, I have seen running corpses in other MMOs like WoW, Lotro and SWTOR, it's a hilarious bug and if it happens to you, you won't notice it, it'll be like normal but a random will see you as dead moving. It's happened to me and I got whispers like "how are you moving while dead?" so I know it has happened to me hehe

Not sure about the avoiding mobs on the way to town, he could have done the quest for one of the areas and become neutral with them so they won't attack, there's a lot of quests/areas like that where you become neutral with everything in the area.

Of course I could be wrong and it could be a hack but I'm just talking from my experience.
