Breakfast Topic: Where do you want your character to die?

Everybody knows that everybody dies, and nobody knows it more than us. Our characters have gone through so many world-changing events, from the opening of Ahn'Qiraj's gates to the death of the Lich King to surviving the world breaker himself. But we have seen in game that not everyone can make it though this world alive -- Cairne Bloodhoof and Magni Bronzebeard, just to name a few.
But if you ever needed to have your avatar lay down his or her weapon for the last time, where should it be? Would you want to die at the infamous Wrathgate, or would you be one of the many nameless killed in the cataclysm -- or would you just have your character pass on in a quiet inn after leaving an eventful and adventurous life?

I'd want to die in battle, defending my partying, most like.
So long as I can prop up my shield & raise my sword, I should be breathing. Tanking is the barrier between life & death. Ergo, everything in front of me should be held until death while everything behind me is kept alive.. erm...that's the idea, right?
*Raid wipe*
Ohshi...

Defending your partying? So you want to die on the brewfest grounds...
I understand what you meant, but it was too tempting not to mention.
Jamie Sep 26th 2011 8:26AM
Hah, we all have to fight for the right to partying? Seriously though, proof reading is something I should do.

For your right!
To Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrty!!!!!!!!!

I want my character to die from exhaustion, surrounded by the naked bodies of a dozen beautyful ladies. Which is basically the same way I hope my own death will be like.
Jeremy Sep 26th 2011 8:07AM
I would make him die in the....
FIRST!
Ragnuk Sep 26th 2011 9:09AM

Ok I just don't get it, what's the freaking need to be the "first" to comment? I just don't get it
Anathemys Sep 27th 2011 6:42PM
Well, I don't know about his character, but that comment just flat-lined...

At the feet of my queen Lady Sylvanas.
Of course I would have to race change my Warlock back to Forsaken before dying.

at the feet of his lady queen, sylvanas.
hopefully getting in that fatal thrust as i fall.
/for the alliance!

And then she would raise you into undeath once again, to fight against the living.

If my Rogue had to die at the feet of the bitch queen of Undercity, I would be sure to plunge whatever edged weapons I had on me at the time in her kidneys while my fangs tore at her throat, secure in the knowledge that as a Worgen the bitch and her val'kyr cronies could not use their foul magicks to reincarnate my corpse.

My druid would die along side the Circle. He makes himself out to be Cenarion Circle first, Horde second. Anything the Horde does that's against the Circle's laws, he won't do. So probably trying to mend the world, or Nordrassil during a fire elemental attack.
My warrior. He hates orcs with a passion, he's a veteran of the Second War(Lolrp) and so he holds many harsh memories towards them. So he'd die fighting orcs.
My hunter, she'll die after one of her inventions back fires and sends her little green butt flying across the world.
Paladin, she would(And will, when I can race change her!) die fighting for her brother's name.
However I don't know about the rest of my characters. I'd have to think about that!
Luis Alluren Sep 26th 2011 8:11AM
I can tell.. I'll be dying at Deathwings feet..
... Then I roll a Sith Pureblood's Juggernaut
Revnah Sep 26th 2011 8:10AM
My main, the priest Revnah, would probably retire from active service in war at some point, live out a happy life, maybe have kids? And then one day die peacefully in a bamboo hut on Darkspear Isle.
My warrior is just that, a warrior and soldier, she would like to die in her boots, fighting the good fight as always. Not against Deathwing, that would be too early... But maybe an army of enemies in one of the next expansions. A hero's death, fighting to the last, outnumbered and finally overwhelmed. Yeah.
Sad to think of them dying though! I hope they live long and prosperous lives yet! :-)
Calicia Sep 26th 2011 8:10AM
The same place that I picked for her to retire ... that little Dwarven farm on the Arathi Coast.

The ole rogue has been through enough. At least her death should be peaceful.

Preferably as close to the spirit healer as possible. I hate long corpse runs.
Jamie Sep 26th 2011 8:28AM
Don't run Dungeon Finder in TBC era dungeons then.

When he's old and grey and knows his time is coming, my hunter would probably take his oldest pet, a trusty boar named Baratheon, and wander off into some endless wilderness with him. There, the two of them could have one last good hunt, then lay down and die together. It seems kind of fitting for a hunter to die out in the wide open world, with a faithful pet by their side.
My fire mage, on the other hand, would prefer not to die ever. ^_^ Given a choice, though, she'd want to go in battle, and no one would realize that she was gone until they found a pair of goggles among the usual charred remains she leaves in her wake. She would die as she lived. On fire.
