WoW Database deleted !

(Scenario of course)
So what will happen if say , tomorrow Blizzard announce that all their WoW databases was lost because of a system(systems) failure ?
I think some will quit, most will stay and a lot will return ( new and old ) , to start fresh.
What do you think will happen in a scenario like this?

Not gonna happen...
If their systems fail that all (active) databases would crash and be deleted, they most surely have tons of backups on tape/discs to restore. In the worse case you'd have a 1-week roll back, but I doubt that it'll be that bad. Instead the rollback might be only a couple of hours, 1 day tops.
Erm, I asked what do you think it will happen in a scenario , like this. Of course it can't be possible...

I wouldn't mind that at all, i can finally level my characters again.
Leveling is my favourit thing to do in WoW then doing end game sh*t.
if this ever happened in a scenario where backups were also lost then Blizz finally killed WoW. Period.
Man...... it's a scenario! C'mon! Just say what you think it will happen, or what you will do

I think at this stage it'll be easier to rob Fort Knox than to hack Blizzard's network.
They made it a point long ago to be decentralized, so the problems seen in the DoS attack in EvE last June doesn't happen. The database isn't that centralized. The server merging coming up is virtual even.
Only way to get all the pieces is probably raiding Blizzard HQ. Good luck, they're ready for that army of paladins to storm Ghostcrawler's Ivory tower as it is! lol

Uhm, I don't think anyone would care, since that probably means EMP of some kind has hit us and we have no power anyway, and we are probably in chaos and couldn't play anyway.
OP it seems at lot of people cant fucking read lol.
I dont play wow any more as it feels like a sub par game for me. something i might play if it was free from level 1 to max and it would be very casual.
If i had an account and suddenly everyone lost everything, id actually be happy. This would mean old and new players would all have to start from the very beginning. of course vet players would know the cheap ways to get to teh top but whatever. just means that in PvP everyone would be equal. for a while anyways.
could work in wows favor
ie Blizzard is launching 50 new servers ! (may as well be w no existing characters)
I can't speak for other gamers, but i love playing games on new servers

One thing I wish WoW would do, along these lines, is offer a progression server like EQ1 did/does (haven't played in a long while). I liked the starting fresh and seeing how far your guild and/or you could get to in the game.
Cheers!

If they enjoyed the game, most would return (assuming Blizz offered them compensation in some form), heck when I returned for Cata I just started a brand new Warrior on a new server. Within a month I was max level with 1000 gold in the bank, so not really a huge inconvenience.
