What will we do at the end of the world? If MMOs are any indication: mostly what we already do, plus a lot of dancing

I'm under no illusions that I'm some rugged survivalist or Will Smith's character in I Am Legend.

But I'm confident I'll die happy, because despite all the meaninglessness and suffering, I did get to play Wildstar before the servers went offline. And ToonTown. And Warhammer Online.
