In an interview with gamedaily.com, Blizzard´s vp of game design Rob Pardo has revealed that a new Warcraft RTS will be "one of the ideas on the table" after StarCraft 2 ships.

When be asked whether Warcraft has leaped out of the RTS genreinto MMOs,Pardo confirmed that: "The way that we develop things, each time a development team becomes available, because they´re done with creating the games that they´ve been doing, they have a lot of say over what their next game is. So what it would take is for one of our teams to decide that they want to make Warcraft RTS and of course, there´ll be some talk about doing that and I´m sure after StarCraft 2 ships, it will be one the ideas on the table for that team to do, but that?s pretty far off in the future and it would really be determined by a combination of the dev team and the company leadership."
 
Rob Pardo seemed to shy away from the idea of developing WoW or other MMOs on consoles. He also took issue with our assumption that there´s a "theoretical ceiling" to growth on Mac and PC platforms. He said that to bring WoW to consoles "would be a Herculean effort that would only take away from our ability to serve our current customers."
