WoW Offline

Over the past weekend (Sunday, Jan. 20, 2008) was offline for ?? (WoW Insiders article)

I don't know how long, but I went to bed after trying to log in for 10 mins. It was about 12:30am Sunday morning so I thought it was a good time to quit anyways. After reading WoW Insiders article Instance Hour, it occurred to me that some of you night owls like to start your questing at the time the servers got disconnected. So what do you do when you sit down and fire up the client and the servers go offline? Do you wait it out or quit and get up early and try to get some quality WoW time in? Or do you play some other MMO?

I've recently discovered a free MMO called, "Rappelz", which looks pretty nice. I haven't tried it, but if I ever have the urge to play something else other than World of Warcraft, this will definitely be the one.
