I can't speak for certain but I think that they said that WoW was not cannon. So you probably will have it where Warcraft 3 left off, meaning you still have Illidan, Arthas, Kil'Jaeden, etc.
And considering the strong personalities of characters like these, I doubt they would just throw them out anyway...

That is quite a statement...you sure about that?

They don't release 1 WoW expansion every year. Blizzard normally waits about 1 1/2 - 2 years between a retail and an expansion, and in WoWs case... between expansions.
WoW is a different case in that (i heard) they average 3 content patches (free MINOR expansions) between exp packs.

not entirely true Sc and WC 3 were popular at the same time hell people still play both those games.not to mention they are both industry leaders. And heres my timeline of how theyll do this cause really WoW is over soon.
2010: SC2 + Cataclysm
2011: Diablo 3 + Announcement of Nex-Gen MMO +announcement of WoW 4th EXP + SC2 EXP either release date or info on it
2012 Next WoW Expansion + more Info on Nex-Gen MMO+earliest possible date for saying they are making warcraft4 + SC2 EXP 2 either realeased or release date.
2013: Warcraft 4 Announcement maybe the next Gen MMO release date and the announcement of the Wow 5th exp
2014 wows exp released + more info on Wc4 Nex gen MMO released
2015 Warcraft 4 released + maybe next Starcraft or not
Edit: They really cant stretch wow out past 2012 its just way too much 2004-2012?..thats 8 years of continuous game making for just one game. They will definitely end it there.

You forgot Diablo Expansions, as well as the SC2 Content packs (campaign). And to be honest... Everquest STILL has a following.... even ultima online does.... Blizzard will milk WoW as long as they can. Honestly, the nerds that play WoW devote their lives to this shit.... all Blizzard has to do is release a GUI patch/expansion upgrading graphics and maybe some gameplay....
True i mean they have alot on their plate now. And wow needs to die like now it takes up alot on blizzard like seriouslly i want wc4 i played the demo for wc3 never bought it cause im gunna buy sc2 and its obv better so i just played the demo like a month ago and i was like oh shit this is so much better than wow even though they are two diff genres its so much better than wow

With the return of the Starcraft franchise, I'm not sure if another Warcraft installment is really needed..
Starcraft II will be the gold standard of RTS, and Warcraft is also an RTS.. with different mechanics and units and heroes. Why have two updated RTS games on the market at the same time? I guess there are enough differences to justify a fourth game, and WCIV will happen at least 5 years after the release of SCII, but with the advent of the SCII Galaxy Editor, you'll be able to almost recreate WCIV's world when the latter rolls out. That's somewhat disturbing.
Also, look at what's happened to WCIII's online scene: you might as well call the game DotAcraft... Custom maps are a big part of the Starcraft experience for me, unfortunately not many people play anything besides one map in Warcraft...
If anything it will leave off where TFT left off where Illlidian is dead and Arthas fused with Ner Zul

Why would it?
Why wouldnt it be after WoW... You got plenty of factions. This can be like the next great thing blizz does, having an RTS with like 10 races that are balanced like starcraft / wc3 and even better...
Well, okay.. They promised several times there would be no expansions what so ever. When I still tested Wow as Alpha, and Beta. I asked it so many times. So I just kind of whistle and pretend I can't see all the new expansions flying around (SIMS STYLE). It's not the Blizzard I fell in love with atleast ;|
Back to the point: Blizzard can't make something GREAT in the timespan of a year, contiously for 5-10 years.
Yea sure they can. They hv diffrent teams you doknow this right?... Currently there are Five Franchise teams two are still being built one almost complete. The rest are already complete as in SC, Dablo, and Warcraft including Warcraft & WOW. The other two are the Unnanounced Game, and the Next-Gen MMO. So techinicaly if two were don the same year they'd prob wait till like next half year or next year. So yeah they could release a game a year with 5 Franchises. Cause once the other two get going forget it. Expansion from Diablo from SC from WoW then The building of the next games then these 2 new games come out maybe expansions to those then the other games come out and it's just a big jumble of blizzard games and expansions shitting out of blizzards GIGANTIC asshole right at our faces.

I choose High Elves... no worries, they will appear in warcraft once Revival of the High Elves is released.Oh, and I do hate DotA but it can be fun when you have nothing else to play.Daelin

I'll have to see if I can't dig up a source for this.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
wouldn't WoW fanbois throw a fit?
