Regardless of what you say about it, WoW will not die. It will probably be one of the largest longest lasting games in history.

It will last quite some time for sure, but it's already getting dated and many aspects of it are getting stale with little room to expand without distancing long time members of the game / discouraging new comers.
Honestly though, all it will take is a new batch of MMOs (With similiar/ more features, better graphics). Once this happens the beginning of the end will occur for WoW. It's already reached stagnance in terms of 'new' users. It won't be long until you see numbers dwindle. 12 million currently, probably will dip to 10 million within a year and a half or so. It will have a hardcore following for several years though and maintain profitability for Acitivison for many years to come.
For now though, it remains as by far the best MMO with the most fun, addictive features and vibrant community. I'll be enjoying the grind to 85 on all my characters and the subsequent gear, raids, PvP, new instances.
