well, if they run out of lore from the warcraft games, simply add an warcraft expansion and a world of warcraft expansion :)?
or maibe just a new warctaft game.
and like some1 said, Fiction will never end.

Not that I think that there are no more expansions coming, but I think there is a limit to the expansions. The way I see it is people are psyched to kill Arthas. If another expansion came out to kill Sargeras, then thatd be cool too. But, after that who is a bigger threat? Blizz could potentially create some more lore and whatnot, but would it really be the same as killing someone who has been present, at least in thought, the entire time? I mean, if we go on to kill arthas and sargeras, and then Blizz introduces, I don't know, some ancient dragon or something who is
really
the one who has been the cause of all of our pain, would we really have the motivation to pay another years worth of monthly payments, and spend countless hours just to kill some guy we've never heard of? The point I'm trying to make is that while the lore that we know of now is exactly that,
known
, additional, unneeded lore would only make current WoW players want to quit. I think that Blizz, being a relatively smart company will eventually move on from WoW, and maybe start a Starcraft Universe, or something, like people have mentioned.

Whether or not you personally would find motivation to play another expansion is largely irrelevant. I'm not saying that to be insulting or belittle your opinion, but in the end, the only thing that Blizzard sells is entertainment. Says so right in their company name. Regardless of any other factors, if their newest product is entertaining, current players will continue to pay their monthly fees, and new customers will see the value in signing up. It's pretty much like going to the movies; if you think you'll like the movie, you'll spend $20 to see it in the theater. If not, you'll wait until its out on DVD, or even wait for it to be on TV.
So long as WoW expansions are fun to play, people will buy them and continue their subscriptions. When WoW isn't fun anymore, Blizzard will roll out their next product, which, if they're as smart as we hope, is already in the planning stages.

Will wrath of the lich king be the last expansion for world of warcraft? Think about it. Blizzard has used up just about all the lore they can. After Arthas who would be the main badguy? After wotlk they would have used up the Blue Dragonflight, the Burning Legion, the Black Dragonflight, the An'Qiraj, the Old Gods, the naga, the trolls, the blood elves, Illidan, and the Scourge. Who else is there left to fight?
there's plenty of content for more expansions left, and even if there wasn't i'm sure a couple years would be long enough for blizzard to come up with some new lore :)

They haven't used up all of the Old Gods yet, just C'thun.
And we've fought Lady Vashj's naga, but not all of the one's who've stayed behind.
And no one's quite solved the troubles within the Emerald Dream either.
Ding ding ding. theres at least two expansions right there. Emerald Dream and The Maelstrom (naga) seem to be small areas (AND were talked about in the past) so theres a possibility of a double-area'd expansion right there, and the Old Gods expansion could be a whole continent in itself so thats an expansion.

More burning legion, Emerald dream, Undermine, Maelstrom (I am really awaiting this, it seems very interesting, because it is very little mentioned, but it is right infront of our faces and we cant go to it yet :P) And they can always add another world, perhaps xoroth (where warlocks got their dreadsteed). This game wont be done until they say so, there is alot to be added.
