Honestly? I think that even if WoW dies, WC4 will be a LOOOOONG wait away...
I mean, look at it this way.
As long as WoW is going, they really don't have a reason to make WC4. They might even risk a loss of subs if they do, due to the fact that WoW players would probably feel 'cheated' out of the storyline, or if it still happens in-game also, they would complain about it all just being 'copied' to pull out more money.
On the flip side. If WoW dies, the WC IP will become 'toxic' for the time immediately afterwards. Anything with Warcraft on it would be doomed to sell less than it would otherwise. They would need to wait until WoW has been forgotten about before releasing it.

sadly true in every aspect of it.
So true its not even fun =(
On the other hand, you analized the 2 sides of the coin, now lets look at what would happen if it landed on the edge.
One side of the coin is: As long as wow exists, there can't be a warcraft 4 existing in parallel.
The flip side is: If wow dies, the franchise will indeed become toxic and people will not buy any products related to it for a long time.
The edge of the coin is:
Wow never dies, but eventually reaches its end. At one point they gotta pull the plug, we're running out of bad guys real quick, and I for one, don't see this game still existing for another 5 years. Eventually they'll release the final expansion, the final content patch, and from there on, wow is done for.
THEN they could release Warcraft 4 to wrap up the story, with stuff that can't happen in wow due to faction balance.
Stuff like horde and alliance finally making peace with each other, Gilneas being reclaimed by its people, maybe even forsakens reverting back to human, high elves and blood elves unifying themselves as 1 nation again.
None of these can ever happen in the game, and it would be hard to pull it off in a book, but if the game is done, these can and IMO SHOULD happen in a warcraft 4. The swan song of the Warcraft Franchise.

Because even if they said that, people would still be calling for it...same way they still lobby for Vanilla servers even though Blizzard has put their foot down on that.
Much like they did with server transfers, character re-customization, gender changes, race changes, faction changes, playing both factions on a pvp server and Mists of Pandaria being an expansion for WoW.
As Vanilla servers would give the Private server runners access, I really doubt you'll ever see them come around.

Loved that movie. Would have loved it more if they kept in some of the more
badass
scenes.

you, my friend have a nice set of eyes. I did not spotted the flowers. I suppose they give a certain "glamour" to the set, but that helmet................
I get that we're necromancers, masters of death, and all that yada-yada, but seriously, MORE SKULLS? Come on :S give something FRESH for a change will ya? Preferably something that isn't corny like skulls or butterflies or spikes.

So................... I heard the next expansion will have pandas on it. OH MY!
I just wish they got over with it ASAP and made Warcraft 4. With writers from RoC and tFT.
^ This I wholeheartedly agree with. Not that I know what RoC and tFT are, but WCIV would be epic.

Would it be more appropriate to say the Demon Soul killed Deathwing, or Thrall killed Deathwing?
Thrall used the Soul to kill Deathwing, with the backing of the Aspects.

Reign of Chaos (vanilla Warcraft III, focusing on Arthas's downfall and his carving his way through Lordaeron, Quel'Thalas and Dalaran as a Death Knight) and the Frozen Throne (Warcraft III expansion pack, focusing on Arthas's ascent to Lich Kingdom. Oh, and how my favorite race, Blood Elves, appeared).
There ma-a-a-a-ay have been some other insignificant stuff, like battle at Mt. Hyjal or something about the Eye of Sargeras...
Edit:
maybe even forsakens
getting thoroughly wiped out
and high elves and blood elves unifying themselves as 1 nation again.
Day the above-mentioned happens, I'm a happy panda.

Oh, RoC and tFT stand for Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne respectively.
Didn't realize lol, I know what those are - played through both ages back.

I only hate those forsaken who are genocidal maniacs, seeking to wipe out all life in Azeroth, blindly worshiping the Lic- err, the
Banshee
Queen, that kind of thing.
To the likes of Leonid Barhalomew I have nothing but respect.

Lich Queen
The most inaccurate descriptions of Sylvanas ever. She's doing what she can to keep her people alive after losing devastating numbers in NR. For the first time ever, she actually cares about her people and doesn't just see them as tools to further her goals.
Unless you read the story another way and see it as her using her people to keep from going back into that Cold Dark Pit.....
