I'm calling it right now, this is what's gonna happen:

Over the next few years, Blizzard is going to make a couple more WoW expansions, all the while developing Starcraft 2. After Starcraft 2 comes out, they'll release a Starcraft 2 expansion pack. Around this time (a few years from now), WoW will be starting to show it's age (the engine will be fairly old) and interest, while still high, will begin to wane. The new Starcraft game + the expansion set will develop and expand the Starcraft universe for the inevitible World of Warcraft successor:

World of Starcraft.

About 4-5 years from now, once this is announced and everything goes exactly how I described it, I'm gonna dig this post up and show everyone how awesome I am.

I give you my 100% sexninja gaurantee that this is what will happen.

      Blizzard would pay YOU that money, just so they don't tarnish their perfect reputation with a subpar product.
