I read a comment from one of the developers recently that the next
expansion will be "awesome" or something like that, so I can assume
they're already working on at least the beginnings of it. No idea what
it'll be but there's certainly no reasons to expect there not to be
another one.

Would have to imagine that'll happen sometime, pure speculation atm if
it'll be next or what but I like the sound of it anyway!

There will be another expansion. Originally it was slated for Q4 2013.

Of course there will be another expansion, and another and another
etc.etc
Can you see Blizzard allowing this fat "cash cow" to wither away?

It's not usually in their control and it's not actually a case of them
allowing it or not.

In fact, I'd say that it's a certainty that it will wither away....
it's just a question of when. I'd say that the timing will be
determined by how little they are prepared to earn from it.

It's like to be a long time before it ends though - EverQuest 1 is
still going after 13 years and I'm not sure that it has ever had more
than 10% of the subscribers that WoW has.

A lot of people are still hoping it will be Emerald Dream (which was the
original planned 4.0 expansion).

Don't know anything about possible future content or directions but as
has been mentioned I expect Blizz to keep it going as long as there is a
profit to be made. I think as well they have gone to increments of 5
levels each expansion so as not to hit 100 too soon.

At some point there won't be any more expansions. Maybe folks leave the
game for good or it is too much trouble for the return Blizz makes but I
doubt they would shut off the servers. Keep them running and consolidate
if need be (or use cross realm technology) to give something to do for
those still willing to pay $15/month with little expense on their part,
thus keeping the profit margins up for quite awhile.

The trick for a company like Blizz is to shift their creative energies
away from WoW or Starcraft to "the next big thing" (whatever that will
be) and to do it at the right time.

The next MMORPG is code named "Titan" and is projected for the end of
next year.
