I'd never have left and would have flown around there for good
I like the idea of them living long, but not 'forever,' as many people like to say. I've always felt that the whole 'immortality' or 'ridiculously long life' trope is a little bit of a cop-out. "Oh...um let's make them live a really, really long time so we don't have to retcon stuff," is the feeling I get from it.
For the night elves it makes sense. They had that huge Well of Eternity that both sped up their evolution and gave them immortality, but for Draenei I've always thought it would make sense for their max age to be around 500 (in this case Southerners: 200 yrs. max and Northerners: 500 yrs. max), and those that are 'immortal' are the ones picked by the Naaru/light for special purposes.
However, the idea that they were in some sort of magical stasis on Oshu'gun is not necessarily ruled out.
I've seen the stasis and cryogenic freezing ideas come up a few times. It's a good couple of ideas that a lot of people don't think about.
