I'm not sure quite what you're asking here.
As far as I can tell, Skaven and Lizardmen aren't going to be playable races at the start, even though I'd love to be a Skaven, heh.

I don''t really know when Humankind will die out but i''m guessing about 6 years before WOW.

I honestly, TRULY resent that remark, mostly because I have played VC ever since they did away with the Undead, and divided it into two different books.
Emo - Don't care about anything, don't do anything, listen to crappy music.
Vampires - Care about killing so they can drink blood. Do magic, raise undead armies, conquer humans (and other trivial races) And do with strength of an elephant. And they not only listen to cool music, but they usually play an instrument. (ok, yea I know Emo's think they can play instruments too, but trust me, they can't, they're just beating on it.)
Tomb Kings, on the other hand, would be a very unique race to the mmoprg genre of games, and I would love to see them in the future.

It will be fantastic if Mythic includes Bretonia in any future expansion. Be a Knight of the realm, or a questing Knight,...
Won't be fantastic?
No offense but you can be a knight in any other MMORPG. Granted you won't be fighting for the Lady of the Lake. What's the difference in Warhammer though? For example the dwarven race. The description of the dwarves on the main Games Workshop site was about a page long. In that page was the standard description that all fantasy worlds have for dwarves. The main thing I like about Warhammer are the quirky characters and gritty atmosphere. The more I read about the Warhammer mmorpg the more I feel it'll be the same as all the other high-fantasy mmorpg's out there.
The real strength of Warhammer though, is as you pointed out, the depth, the history, the characteristics of the Warhammer universe (the quirky characters and the gritty atmosphere)... The universe is so incredibly rich with atmosphere it practicly oozes with it... That is one hell of an advantage to have when you're making a game... While some details will be similar to other games (how can they not be?) i'm sure it will be a very original game, and most likely extremly fun to play

I highly dout there will be and that just makes it harder for them and theres no real point anyway
what about the Wood elfs? what faktion will they join, oh yes there kingdom is inside the Empiere and therefor they fight the empiere on the other hand they won't fight with chaos either.
Skaven will (if it will be a playabele race) be chaos, and I think that the lizardmen will be the good guys :P.

Well, being as it is actually a MMORPG they are doing, yes, and seing as the fact is that it IS a fantasy setting, indeed i dont see how those two basic facts can be any different from another MMORPG with a fantasy setting... The REAL difference is what's beneath, the focus of Warhammer has always been the combat, not so much the roleplay, and from the looks of it that is what they are trying to focus on in WAR aswell.

Warhammer for me, have always been.. Well, tons of roleplay, less combat!
I'm a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying Game 2 Edition PnP'er.
And if Mythic decided to focus only on the tabletop version, i'd be really dissapointed. Big grity battles aren't as interresting as the Witchhunter tracking down a necromancer.
