As a Starcraft player I can tell you that I hope it wouldn't go a decade - we launched Starcraft in '98 - I hope it wouldn't go a decade before we stand here and celebrate the next Starcraft together," Itzik Ben Bassat told crowds

I kind of wonder how it'd be possible to fit a WC4 into the WC universe with WoW still running strong, and receiving patches/expansions that further the story/events...

If they were to place the events of WC4 after WoW, but not update WoW to that time period (which would most likely require manditory expansions and an overhaul of the entire game setup... or a WoW2), it would feel rather weird to finish WC4 and be like "Alright, and now back to WoW *moves back in time*"...

*shrug*

But a Starcraft 2... Now that would be oh so swell...

I don't know how to solve that. I just like the real-time strategy. Maybe an alternate universe, lol?

3 is already out, silly.

I don't see a new WC strategy game coming any time soon, nor am I that interested in it. WC3 was a lot of fun, but I think they added so much last time, we're not ready for more.
Starcraft on the other hand.... I figure we might see 2 extra races... Blizzard tried that in WC3, where the demons were supposed to be a playable race at first too.
Now in Starcraft, they already have 3, so they'd just have to add 2. I'm thinking an undead race.... and maybe a 100% robot race.
And the story! I love the SC story.

the robot race sounds like a good idea...an undead race doesn't fit into the SC universe however.

Erh, Diablo 3, but it has to have the same thing as D2, with the rushing and the problems like that it just makes it so great....also cut out all the bots that spam you...
