Buddy if Hots hasn’t been taken offline WoW ain’t going anywhere for at least a few decades.
Then even already announced the next three expansions at once so I don’t know where anybody would get the idea that they plan on ending it ever especially when it’s so popular and profitable. 
It was originally planned to be the final expansion.
Who knows what will be. Lets be honest, theres not much left to tell after this. Maybe the world breaks open when azeroth awakens and the reality collapses like old god lore lol
16 years of wow did that to me

lol why was this flagged?
Well of the current wow storyline of all that we currently know of the story and lore.
You did die and this is your heaven/hell.
Because it was a nonsense, idiotic post from a troll who just wanted attention.
I remember people were absolutely convinced that BfA was the end of WoW. Then Shadowlands had pretty good reception, and DF even better.
true, but taking history into account with mmos with direct sequels they will lose some people even if the mmo isnt necessarily closed. And at the moment, Blizzard doesnt want to lose too many people.
No it wasn’t.
They literally planned an entire trilogy.
You obviously didn’t even for one second watch Blizzcon where they all 3 were quite literally announced .
Nothing is the end unless Azeroth explodes or implodes.
Seeing as this expansion has only had two raids it only seems they split one expansion into three parts to get three times the cash from the player base who will buy this crap no matter what.
It is the end of the lore and story of wow as we all know it. The whole of wows lore ends with this so now it will 100% be completely new story.
You clearly dont understand what was meant. Yeah dur its a trilogy planned. Its the end of wows lore wrapped up. The titans are the last bit of wows entire story and lore. After this what is made is up to entirely new teams and wont be related to anything wow lore from Warcraft to now.
So story wise in that sense yes, wow is dead by the technicality that this is the end of all the established lore and story… You dont seen yo understand nuance.
Not the literal death of the game just the story and lore. LOL
Wow won’t end unless internet ends.
Wow will always retain some people like most MMOs do but as far as it ever being the supreme mmo that everyone plays…those days are surely over.
It’s sad but true
You can tell because nobody really makes content for wow anymore
Everquest and Ultima are still going. Everquest still releases regular expansions. WoW has been astronomically more successful than those two games.
WoW is nowhere close to ending. They are probably cooking something Big, but we are at least 2 to 3 years away from that announcement. And more likely 5 years away from being able to play, whatever it is.
WoW is still the number one MMORPG on the market. There is no real current competition for it, nor are there any games on the horizon which can even come close to challenging it.
With the current state of the gaming industry it is very likely we wont see new MMORPGs for an extremely long time. Dune will be popular for a bit, but I think it doesnt have what it takes to pose any competition. I just hope it is a good game.
The industry is focused on short term quarterly gains for their investors. Hitting release dates set by the executive board regardless if it means releasing and incomplete and buggy product. They can then reduce the team, and patch it over a year or so. Then abandon it. Quarter after Quarter we see games released in horrible states and missing tons of content. But it generates quarterly profits, looks good on a spreadsheet and a graph for investors.
MMORPGs are long term investments. They take a ton of capital up front. And a ton of capital and resources to launch and operate. For how game companies operate currently there just isnt a compelling reason for them to risk long term investments such as an MMO. Their board of directors whom represent investors, are not going to green light a game model where it will take years after launch for them to recoup their investment. They just want to make as much money as possible in the short term. They dont really care about quality of product. They dont really care about utilizing an IP well or adhering to that IPs lore. And they dont really care about their customers.
And then you have the other end. Studios using crowd funding to develop a game. They pitch their game and goals well. They do work on a product. But, at the end of the day, they are paying themselves with the crowd funding, as they are a cost of production. And as long as they are developing something. And they have something playable to show for it, they can just extend until the crowd funding collapses for them. Then just release whatever garbage they have at that point, to meet the fine print on their crowdfunding contract so that they do not have to refund.
Then you have something like Star Citizen. 800million raised and spent over 10 years. Nothing released. Still selling ships for a yet unreleased game. No release date for their single player campaign game. No release date for the actual game. Some impressive videos and gameplay demos, but no complete product yet. And nothing resembling a release date for any of it. The team has collected their salary over 10 years. They are making something, but it is doubtful that we will actually get the game.
WoW mobile, WoW in VR.
It’s never going away 
We’re like 5 years behind these days. But housing has me hook line and sinker.
Yeah, give me your gold
Yes, they lied about Midnight, the Last Titan, and 20 more years of adventure. TWW is the last expansion, you’re gonna lose everything you worked for. Sorry.
it’s all over but the crying
