What if for one week..

[Deathbird]

What if for one week Blizzard shut down their World of Warcraft servers.. imagine the productivity!
People would be spending time with their families and doing extra work or maybe playing a different game all together.
What do you think would happen if they went down for a week solid?

Apologies if this is in the wrong area, i don't post much.

Thousands of forums would pop up with people bitching about WoW being unavailable.

That's it.

I don't think it would result in productivity. In fact most of the hardcore players would probably go into withdrawal and shake the earth as they all rock back and forth while in the fetal position .

Or, alternatively, people would just start 'raiding' real stores.

 

[Graustein]

Fuck no, I wants my Diablo III!
Do you think there'd be a Blizzard left after the WoW addicts realised what was going on? Their rage would shake the earth!

People would do something else, be it play more games, troll the internet more, hire hookers, do drugs, get drunk, hang out with friends or whatever.

 

[Pigeon_Grenade]

i think the murder rate would fly through the roof, as well as the sale of Replica swords, axes, bows and armor would Sky rocket as well

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! You are all -so- witty, I can't believe I didn't die of laughter! Just so fun...*head explodes due to extreme sarcasm overload*


In other news: Doubtful they'd do anything, more likely they would just go play something else, or trawl the internets as one does.

If you have to explain that you're being sarcastic then you're not very good at it. 1/10

All I can see happening is people trolling forums for a week and going straight back.

That was the hitch. Besides, it was -EXTREME- sarcasm, not exactly known for it's subtlety. Really quite dangerous, and messy to boot.

 

[Baonec]

Forums would explode in a sea of nerdy hatred.

 

[Hey Joe]

Suicides.

Mass Suicides.

Like freakin' Lemmings.

 

[Tartarga]

all the WoW players would probably gather together and storm the blizzard building and threaten to kill them if they did not bring the servers back up in the next 5 seconds

 

[super_smash_jesus]

The world would smell fresher, being all those dungeon sitting WoW addicts actually got up to have a shower finally.

 

[ScAR_TiSsUE]

The millions of wails of despair would shake the leaves from the trees. Actually, I have no idea what I'm talking about. These people are a mystery to me.

 

[ShadowKirby]

"The earth trembled as thousands, no, millions of unwashed, greasy creatures emerged from underground. «Tom! What are those creatures ?» said a scared Marie to her husband. «I do not know» he said with a shaky voice. The creatures could only say one word, WoW, WoW, WOW! «I know what they are» said young delivery boy Timmy. «They are..... MUMORPUGER!!!» It would be forever known as.... emergence day."

 

[Ranooth]

I would laugh.............alot.

 

[NeedAUserName]

Millions of pasty skinned albinos would stir from their dwellings and recoil in the glare of the sun, before scurrying into the shade.

But seriously, just loads of internet forums about how "it totally sux tht WoW wont work >8("

 

[Darthracoon]

Suicides.

Mass Suicides.

Like freakin' Lemmings.

Contrary to belief, Lemmings don't actually commit suicide.

Anyways i would think that they all would start going outside, in all their fat,acne ridden,cosplaying glory and they would get slaughtered by any non-wow player whom thought that they were invading Nazi's.

Don't you think we'd rather suffocate because they would bring their dirt-ridden bodies out of their homes and contaminate the rest of the world?

 

[Amnestic]

Why are MMO gamers supposed to be more 'unwashed' than other gamers, out of interest?
