W4 have nothing to do with WoW - since they are far different games, having almost nothing in common.
W4 is just not-so-wished, and i think it's postponed for late 2009.
Anyway here is my list with releases dates , that i try to predict :
1 years post dev period ...
Diablo 3 ( expansion ) : summer 2010
Starcraft 2 ( expansion ) : late 2010
Warcraft 4 ( expansion ) : summer 2011
Man, I hope you are right about the SC2 and D3 release dates. SC2 I could see being this year. I don't think D3 will be this year (wouldn't surprise me if it was Christmas 2009), but if it is, that'd be sweet.

I cannot believe so many people have voted PRO violating everything that holds Diablo true, classic and pure- and turn it into a nasty MMO. You people should be ashamed of yourselves and take a second look at your fandom now. Diablo is all about keeping it rpg, clean, simple and beautiful. Turning it into an MMO is like taking a fine stake and trying to turn it into a... Mcdonald's hamburger. It's disgusting.
I voted for a new 4th franchise. The 3 games that have literally built Blizzard to it's current glory should not be laid to rest, of course, but new innovations need to take place. Blizzard cannot rely on their 3 champions forever. Times change, for us faithful fans- Diablo, and even warcraft and starcraft, will remain in our hearts forever, but the younger age is taken by effect of more current games, and not just pc games. Other consules are starting to overshadow the pc realm again, and Blizzard has to make an effort in order to keep its fans' quantity full and wanting.

I can't say I'm looking forward to a StarCraft MMO or Diablo MMO because we don't know if they are ever coming, so I have to say StarCraft II for now.
I am intrigued by the mysterious new MMO, considering that for it they seem to be using modern technology, for once. Currently modern, anyway. But I can't really 'look forward' to it if I don't know its setting and haven't liked Blizzard's approach to the MMO genre thus far.

I think a new franchise would be cool. Blizzard is good people, they know how to make fun, creative games.They could even take on a shooter perhaps? That and Fallout 3 BABY!!
Personally Sc2 looks pretty cool. it could be a good filler until wc4 :P. ZOMG i want wc4!!!! wc4 would be awesome.

Why would you want Diablo a MMO? the only way that is possible is if you will be able to be a demon cuz the story of diablo is light vs darkness and in every game of diablo you always played on the light side never the dark.
If Diablo becomes a MMO, Blizzard is going to screw around with the whole story of the Diablo games.

My life is like a dragon, first praised, then hated, now lost.
it would be good to see WC4 cuz thats the style of game that the whole warcraft crazy. WoW was just a way to make money, give gamers a new view of the warcraft world, and most likely not going to have a sequal just expansions.
