Logging out before the cataclysm...

i was talking with my brother when he came up with this situation:

what if you were to log out at a location before the major update that changes the wow world, and when you log in there is a gaping hole filled with lava or whatever?

what would happen if you logged out in an inn in auberdine? or if the rumours are true, orgrimmar?

If you log out in a place destroyed by the Cataclysm, I regret to inform you that your character will experience permadea... uhh... we will be sure to account for occurances like this, and I am certain your character will be respectfully "taken care of"... uhh...

Seriously though, this kind of thing will be kept in mind and I am certain will be something we carefully test in pre-release versions of the expansion. Don't worry, your character will not be harmed by us, and instead we will leave that in the hands of the other faction on your PvP server, or the might of great beings and monsters you are yet to face in many compelling future PvE encounters... ;-)
