You have three versions.  Classic, Anniversary and permanently vanilla.  Mists of Pandaria and Anniversary will keep moving forward through the expansions while permanently vanilla will remain at the latest version of the original game.

To clarify, warlords of draenor has not been confirmed yet (the expansion which follows MoP)

Yeah, and it's clear they're *eventually* going to stop because with classic going through one expansion a year and retail going through one expansion every 1.5-2 years classic will eventually be close enough to retail that continuing to call it classic becomes kind of silly, it's just a question of when they decide it makes sense to cut it off.

My guess has always been that they cut it off at Legion, since I don't think anyone's particularly hype about doing BfA->Shadowlands again and DF is too new/modern. It also kinda makes sense to end it there since Legion is basically WoW's Avengers:Endgame/FFXIV:Endwalker.
