Warcraft 4. I'm a huge RTS fan, and I had spent soooooooo much time playing Warcraft 3 for years. Unfortunately, WoW took all the spotlight for so long that the Warcraft franchise has been an MMORPG longer than it was an RTS. Plus the pile the crap that was WC3: Reforged, and knowing now that Blizzard will forever be dead to me.

Since I never tried any Warcraft-stuff, I want to ask: Is there a narrative continuation between Warcraft 1-3 and wow? Are these even the same universes, timelines, dimensions? And are these games even about story aswell? (I have a friend who told me quite some stuff about WoW, so I know there is a sort of story.) And than, would Warcraft 4 take place after WoW? Or in between, or before?

What would the narrative be about? Or are you not really looking for that in a game like this?

Oh yes!!! There's been epic stories and characters from Warcraft 1-3 that continued their storylines in WoW. Warcraft had the story layout of Starcraft where you played the campaign as both the Horde and the Alliance, which continued when WoW released where you get to choose a side. 

It is all part of one big continuing narrative though. For example, in Warcraft 3

Spoiler!
one of the protagonists, Prince Arthas, begins his decline into turning evil and by the end of the story, he becomes the Lich King. Which his story continues in the second WoW expansion titled, Wrath of the Lich King. 

There's several other examples of characters that started in the original trilogy that continued their stories in WoW. 

So Warcraft 4 would definitely take place after WoW eventually ends lol which who knows when that will be.
