In the future with Nazi orcs...
Oh wait, that's been done already.

Wow II shouldn't happen until the average PC or console is fully VR enabled, and by that I mean full 4k or above VR headset along with full tactile response body suit. I want other players to actually feel the heat when I burn them with a fireball and to be winded when I smack them in the chest with a big two hand mace.
I doubt that we will truly see a major advance in the mmorpg scene until full on VR is commonplace. Just imagine wow experienced as if you were there, as a full on total immersion video game.
My primary requirement would be 3 or more factions. Loose example; 1. Tauren/Nelf/Faydragon other forest stuff etc. Faction, 2. Troll/Orc/Goblin/Ogre Faction, 3. Worgen/Human/Vrykul Faction, 4. Blood/High/Nightborne/Naga Faction, 5. Forsaken/Valkyr Faction, 6. (expansion could make demons playable faction/race or add to faction 5?):
1. Better lore that actually made races other than humans and orcs prevalent. My big issue with wow is that it has so many great characters and stories that are ret-conned or never fully explained or given justice. I mean all leaders getting the same attention and screen time as Illidan, Thrall or Khadgar currently do. A proper Troll City like a massive one on a similar size if not bigger than say Stormwind, not some broken up isles.
2. World pvp would be amazing 3 or more sides fighting each other and can set the stage for real time world pvp events like taking territory with controlling faction gaining a certain weekly perk and other factions a chance to invade in an pve instanced/dungeon style setting for said perk or similar buff/reward. There can be multiple hubs across the world.
Sorry bud, when a game moves on to a "part 2" you usually do NOT get to carry over your wealth. That is wishful thinking. In a new game the economy needs to be 100% reset , carrying over gold does not promote that in the elast bit.

so world of Starcraft?
They merge Warcraft and starcraft together
Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam
An expansion and not a stand-alone game.
I am both the Lady of Dusk, Vheliana Nightwing & Dark Priestess of Lust, Loreleî Legace!

<3 ~ I am also the ever-enticing leader of <The Coven of Dusk Desires> on Moon Guard!
I think that centralisation of power would lead to (a word that wow players and devs love) more homogenisation. Less potrayal of other hero's and just a focus on whoever the leader of the joint Horde/Alliance faction would be.. It's also a bit ya know predictable and dare i say boring?
Everyone working towards a common good requires a common bad guy and after Sargeras and the void lords are gone what do you have next?
It's that us and them which would get tedious after an expansion.
Blur the lines however, make it so that there is no good or bad guy just multiple interests and point of views and you make for interesting story telling plus a virtually infinite amount of ideas and potential content.
If there was one faction what would happen to world pvp? How could there be pvp if the enemy were all NPC's? Outside of Duelling there is no real player to attack cus you're all on the same side.
