They'll just go play other games. It's going to be around for a long time though, I'd say at least a decade more. Ultima Online and Everquest 1 are still alive, hell even Meridian 59 has players, and none of them had anywhere near the numbers WoW has.
When WoW ends..

ive played for 4 years and ive enjoyed. even tho im getting a little bored with it now. the raids are too easy, theres too many noobs who buy other peoples accounts, leaving the buyers with no skill of the class whatsoever.
to me, WoW is getting dull. ill still play when my friend Magnus needs some help with quests, dungeons, etc. but WoW IS getting old. ill probably start playing again if another expansion or a new hero class (like the death knight, where u have to unlock it) comes out.

By the time WoW ends, there will certainly already be less than 1 million subscribers left. Nothing out of the ordinary would happen.
Alright... I answered what would happen.Ciran said:
People would move on.
What else would there be to do?
Riot in the streets?
I bet other MMos wil be overjoyed, the not so popular ones.
and people will save like $15 every month = $180 every year
Oh and I think a few people from those 11 mil might make up a game called World of WarHammerRoadOnlineCraftScape that will attract the 11 mil market of gamers
and make a ton of money!

the servers will stay open until there is statistically few enough people that care that it becomes a financially bad idea to keep them open. When that's the case, noone will care that their characters are gone, because they will have not logged in for months and months.
WoW will get dethroned long before the actual servers shut down.
IIRC there are still Everquest servers, and if they're down, they haven't been down more then a couple of years.. and that game is old as heck, and nowhere near as successful as WoW (even being the second most successful MMO)

How Do you Kill witch that has no life? I think WoW still has a while but when it does end im Sure there Will be a New Blizzard MMO or Another game that people will latch on to like leaches but when the day comes for it to end it will be a sad day for all who play.
I'm trying to imagine the scenarios under which there would be no more MMO's. Based on my conclusions, I think that what I would do would be one of:NeonZombie said:
- Take a break from contemplating the blindness and folly of secularism to go to the mosque, as rightfully prescribed by the most blessed Caliph, true servant of Allah.
- Scavenge for dinner in the crumbling, radiation-soaked ruins of what used to be the local shopping centre, pausing occasionally to stare wistfully into the middle distance and conjure up bittersweet memories of another time...a better time...a time before...
- My usual routine; an invigorating early-morning writhe, followed by a hard day of vomiting up my own dissolving internal organs while listening to the radio repeat a recorded message that "A CURE IS CLOSE", a good hearty dinner of effluent from the suppurating lesions covering my degraded flesh, finished off with an evening of screaming at the ceiling to please just let me die.

However, if all the MMOs close tomorrow, the most likely result is someone makes a new one, and gets insanely rich from all the poor lost souls desperate to return to the blissful half-life of the internet
Edit: is it just me, or does that sound really bitter and cynical?
though I don't see this ever happening, if it did then about 10 million new talent will be introduced to the world. diseases will be cured, green technology will finally be used more frequently, potions of immortality will be created and the global unification would occur. humanity would now be known only as humanity, not as black or white, Chinese or Russian, British or American. the only country on the planet would be earth, and we would enter a new golden age.
either that, or 10 million people would find different games and waste their lives on that instead.

Blizzard would do a 'Coke.'
1. Shut down the servers and promise a new improved WoW.
2. 'New Wow' wouldn't be as good and players everywhere would complain.
3. Blizzard then brings back 'Classic WoW' making trillions.
WoW never EVER dies.
