So every once in a while, once or twice a year, i read up online to see if they are planning another classic warcraft game, last i checked was around 4-5 months ago, i read somewhere that they had a new game planned for after the Starcraft 2 trilogy was finished, i cant seem to find where though, and i dont even know if it was an official source.
Has anybody els heard anything about it? As much as i love wow, i would love to see a new RTS game set in the warcraft mythos

I haven't heard anything about it, but I would gladly suffer through a year without so much as a bug fixing patch on WoW if it meant that warcraft 4 would come out.
But the problem is, where would it pick up?
Would it move along with the same events as WoW right now? Well, that would seem kind of lame.
Would it completely disregard WoW and just move forward according to the lore from TFT?
I could see that leaving a lot of people really confused.
If it was in the future, well, great, now we have starcraft with orcs (W40k).
It doesn't seem like they
could
make another one right now, at least not until WoW is concluded.

I kinda get what you mean, the only thing i could think of is if they were to set it ebtween cataclysm and the next expansion, like maby have a time skip of sorts between expansions, and relese the game around the same time that they relese the final raid patch for caty, the only problem with this is that they would have a lot fo &*!@ to work on at once. Although considering in caty they tied together the malestorm, kazzan, and possibly the emerald dream, which we all thought we be in seperate expansions, makes me wonder if they might be wrapping up wow

Nope, since the original story for Warcraft 4 would have been dealing with the Lich King.

They wont be wrapping up WoW any time soon....too much money coming through. and isnt it all supposed to end with a level 110 level cap and on the burning legions home turf or something?
Well i could see them wrapping up wow in order to come out with World of Warcraft 2 or something. You know revamp the game a bit, clean up the graphics, ect.
Nope, since the original story for Warcraft 4 would have been dealing with the Lich King.
Actualy world of warcraft was already in development when the relesed the frozen throne

And Wrath wasn't......Vanilla ended with KT after all; WC4 could have come out rather then BC.

no my point was that they were working on wow and had that set as a long term project, they werent even thinking about what they wanted to do for WC4 yet

Hm, let's see.....Frozen Throne ended with Arthas becoming the Lich King....yeah, such a wonder what WC4 would have been at that point in the time line /sarcasm off

........except as i already said, world of warcraft was already planned as the next game in line at the time
the time line gos
WC1>WC2>WC3>WOW>WC4
In fact i seem to recall blizzard saying in vanilla that we would eventualy see the Lich King in wow, but it wouldnt be till much farther down the line
I mean by your logic, Deathwing was in warcraft 2, so he MUST be the centrall villain in warcraft 3... /sarcasim
I mean did you ever read or hear anywhere that the Lich King would be the baddie for WC4, or are you just pulling this out of your ass?

And again, Vanilla was planned sure...but BC/Wrath/Cata were all just thoughts at that point, no actual ideas had been made up for them yet, seeing as Blizzard wouldn't even have been sure that WoW was going to take off. So having the finale of the RTS universe being taking down the Lich King at that point in time, wasn't a huge stretch. Since then, Blizzard has realized that the MMO genre gets them more then the RTS so seems like they've scrapped the idea for another one.

Ok ill take that as yes you were just pulling that out of your ass.
Anyway regardless of weather or not the plans for WC4 were to go up against the Lich King, they obviously are
not
now because hes already dead

Unless that was the point of the whole 'There must always be a Lich King' ass pull.

I side with Adamsm here, you really have no good arguments for it Ryjacork.
And it's spelled "sarcasm".

your right my bad
Unless that was the point of the whole 'There must always be a Lich King' ass pull.
Thats actualy a good point, but i dont see bolvar as a villain, although he could definatly be a central characture. Although im still not sure what your original point was. you just said "nope the original story for WC4 was dealing with the lich king", nope to what, nope theres not gonna be WC4? nope you havnt heard anything about WC4?
I mean unless there was like a relese by blizzard saying they were planning LK for WC4, then i got the impression they were setting up world of warcraft to be the direction they took for a while, it seems liek much of what you say is just speculation, and the only real evidence you were able to provide was that there were rumors going around when vanilla launched

Warcraft will probably end with WoW. The timeline progression is WC -> WC2 -> WC3 -> WoW. You didn't need to play the RTS's to enjoy WoW, but if they ever release a WC4, you'll probably need to be at least familiar with the lore of WoW in order to follow it.
WoW is the WarCraft universe now. If they release a WarCraft IV for the event after WoW, that means WoW has to stop. If they release a WarCraft IV as a continuation from WC3, that means WoW didn't happen to the timeline/is an alternate reality.
Basically, WoW killed any possibility of WC4.

well i dont know about that, i could seem them relesing WC4 at the same time as deathwings patch, so people could all play that in the 4 months or so it would take to get to the next expansion, that way the timeline would effectivly go caty>WC4>next expansion
WoW is the WarCraft universe now
God that is so depressing...

How is it depressing? If you accept WoW's events as canon, then here and now, WoW is the current point in WarCraft universe.
And they won't release a separate game that takes place after the events of Cataclysm with Cataclysm's conclusion patch, it just doesn't make sense. That's like a serial author publishing both the last chapters of his current book at the same time as he publishes his entire next book in the series.

Well m8, I can personally confirm that I've heard of it so far, and I've heard about the development, since i got my contacts, so there might actually be a chance, that WC4 is gonna come out.. But it's still not 100% sure though, it's still under development ^^

meh mostly because i grew up with classic warcraft, i love wow dont get me wrong, but im a purist. To each his own ya know

Theres going to be at least four or five months between the release of Deathwings patch and the launch of the next expansion, plenty of time in there for a new game
