Here are my thoughts in this topic.
Really guys, to me, world of warcraft really just looks like a spin off of the actual story, instead of controlling armies, it puts you into a perspective of a young hero that eventually becomes a very powerful being. But of course, theres no logic in it, there are plot holes. Of course it doesn't actually make sense.
Doesn't matter what anyone's ignorant thoughts on how they aren't going to make a Warcraft 4. What official source stated there will never be a sequel? Directly from blizzard, not magazines or any of that, those kind of things aren't quite reliable. What about starcraft 2? it took them more then 10 years just to get around to making a sequel, well to be technical, less then 10 years, but didn't announce it or gave away until roughly 2-3 years after they started working on the basic blue prints of it.
Anyone who thinks there won't be one is seriously just a fool that knows nothing of gaming companies. if it makes money, if it has a large fan base, they WILL make a sequel to it. Look at CoD, Final fantasy, star war games, books, Zelda, Mario, Dragonball Z, metal gear solid, and so on. Like most gaming companies, they sometimes split 1 franchises into 2 or more kinds of games, or I call, spin offs of each other, have alternate universes of the same thing, just different lore or different outcomes. This often happens a lot, including in movies, one in particular is a old classic Highlander 2, a Renegade version, a spin off of the original series.
Whether you like it or not, its inevitable, a 4th will come, and a 5th, and more spins offs will emerge as it gets more popular and Blizzard grows, though they take there time, they don't really "rush" things, they make sure things are balanced, make it as great as possible, give it, its bling, what makes it addicting, its features that allow you to expand your experience. Some games in MY opinion don't have this, some are C&3(Command&conquer 3) And a bunch of other newer games that different sites claim its "9/10!!!"
Warcraft Franchise is a franchise thats a lot more expandable then starcraft or diablo. Because of its peticular lore, there is just so much you can use, so much you can create, add, it almost has no limits. There is so much lot of people realize that hasn't been used yet. Like some said, some of the old gods, Deathwing, old heroes and bad heroes can rise up to power, with how blizzard made warcraft, you can keep it on going forever, I'm serious, this kind of franchise, gives many, MANY to use imagination, and gives more inspiration.
Right now, Warcraft split into 2 different franchises, both with the same lore blue prints, but very different at the same time, how things are approached, the different genres are different, and are handled different. Both Franchises will continue over time, this isn't EA, where they make a game in a year or less and throw it on the shelves, they do it just for money. Blizzard does it for money too, however, they have other goals, they want to make the best games at there highest ability, making it playable and enjoyable to all.
As have many said, they said they would ignore WoW, this is true, it was in a review. Lot of people have read but, but like me, we don't remember where the article is located, and if we looked for it, we might not find it, at least easy. the only successful way they could do this is to either
A.) Start fresh, and go from around 5+ years after Wow.
B.) Ignore wow, and look at what happened in a different perspective on what happened.
C.) Make a prequel of before warcraft.
This means no humans, but story focuses on the ereder and the orcs on dreanor, this would give it 3 races, Burning Legion, Dreanei, and the orcs. Sense the orcs is almost the key race in warcraft.
Btw Dawn of wars races arn't Unique, only a couple actually are, but each races besides I think elder, Necrons are the unique races, all the others really are just copies of each other, each having the same kinds of units, same classes, but normally other super units and heroes. Its balanced but not unique. You guys may think its cool to have all these cool races but its not, the less the better, because of balancing and making each race unique.
