Matticus was originally asked this question, and he's been asking it of people around the WoW blogosphere, so we'll ask it here, too: Assuming that Blizzard suddenly announced that the entire World of Warcraft would be shut down in just five short hours, what would you do with your time?Automagica would head for World PvP in Hillsbrad. Eye for an Eye would head into the Horde cities for a final extermination. Destructive Reach would do some old-fashioned exploring, both in instances and out, and get contact information for a lot of ingame friends. And Double Bubble, after one last Kara run, would go back to a favorite fishing hole with a favorite pet, and serenely wait for the world to end.
As much as I love instances, I've already run them so much, and I worry that most of my five hours would be taken up with trying to find a group, so I'd probably quest solo (assuming the servers would actually stay up). My Hunter, at 65, would probably too far behind to finish off at 70, so I'd probably do a mad dash for 70 on my Rogue, currently 68. And I'd end the world just as I dinged the highest level on my second 70, which I would consider a proud accomplishment. What would you do with your last five hours in Azeroth?

I'd take my main NE Hunter to Winterspring and have him sit at the top of Frostsaber Rock with the Frostsaber trainers so he can train frostsabers for the rest of his days.

Gather a raid group of friends, run Deadmines, party on the boat. Goonies never say die, after all.

I'd get 5 stacks of Whiskey, sit on the stationary ship in Menethil and reminisce with all my guild buddies.

Honestly, I think I'd go do anything else. I already play so infrequently that another 5 hours wouldn't matter.

I would open an account for each of my charators,then bring them all together(at last),for a major party.
They've had to limit their contact to mail so far. :*/

I'd log off. What's the point in playing 5 hours on a game that's going to die?

My sentiments exactly. If WOW is going down I have no reason to put in another minute. I would move on to build some other time consuming inanimate object that does nothing for my real life.

One last massive gankage on the Alliance for old times sake. Spend some hours reminiscing with guildies. Get my Char really smashed. Then leave him on a farm to rest in peace for the rest of his days.

Pointless question as the only way WOW is going to do that is when the Real world would end aswel haha..
