Mists of Pandaria!!!

[tiffiny]

All the World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria previews you can shake an empty fist at.



In the wee hours of this morning, the press NDA for World of Warcraft's Mists of Pandaria expansion came tumbling down, and our sister site WoW Insider has a bounty of coverage to share. The much anticipated -- and much debated -- expansion is slated for release this year and will include a new continent, the Mo...nk hero class, the Pandaren race, pet battles, a level cap increase, and a massive overhaul of the game's talent system.

World of Warcraft players are undoubtedly fixated on the expansion, as January's 4.3 patch was announced to be the last major update to the game before MoP arrives. You can check out all of the juicy info squeezed from the press beta groves after the jump, including hands-on impressions and insights you won't find anywhere else!

this expansion sounds really dumb to me but the new zones are really nice, playing as a panda sounds really stupid.

i would agree but then again they are going with the storyline in the books that they publish..

The book at least in part made the pandas seem like they were going to look a lot more vicious.

You guys do know Pandarans weren't originally a part of the lore...
A fan of Warcraft had "Panda" in his name so he drew panda characters like the Warcraft sketches.
They bought out his design because they were popular and implemented them as an "easter egg" in the game.
Ever since they were bought out in Warcraft they became SUPER popular.
This is like, a last-ditch effort to regain players...
Not going to work IMO.
