WoW will die. Maybe not this year, maybe not next year, maybe not even this decade, but it will die. Everything comes to an end eventually. It’s just a matter of how and when.
Also: It might not be another game that kills it, I mean it’s possible but it probably won’t be. It’s more likely that WoW will kill itself. Far more likely, in fact.

And it depends on what you mean by dead. If you compare it to lichking it’s already dead and has been.
If you are a true stickler it will be when the servers are taken down.
But there are people out there who claim games are dead that are still currently online.
WoW (retail) now is less popular than when it was new in actual Vanilla.
Peak was Wrath, like 12 million subs, Vanilla was around 5.5 million (before the game blew up), and currently I’d say DF is 4.5 million or less, and it’s still gradually going down. According to sites that still collect data, anyway.
Part of this is the playerbase is fractured with a lot players on Classic instead.
The focus on E Sports (M+) and other designs aren’t focused on maintaining a fun gameplay loop for most, just a handful of people.
Other games just handle content for “everyone” better.
Most WoW stuff for casuals (like the daycare and renown) simply ends after a while, and has nothing more to chase, no FOMO stuff like mounts or titles that are limited.
The biggest brewer in the US is sooooo shaking in it boots after other corporations like Nike and the NFL face the same salty tears and lived. Budlight is just one of AB InBev brands, so if one beer goes down the others goes up meaning that less common brands have a shot as I am sure patriots still have a AB brand can or bottle in their hands drinking it.
WoW will go FP2 and live on some backroom server till some corp kill it as most MMOs still alive like Everquest. That is how most mmos live their old age, small and alone.
