Summary: With the imminent threat of the Cataclysm behind us, and Deathwing put to rest for good, the mortal races of Azeroth turn to another ever-lingering foe... each other. In doing so, they discovered a long lost race of spiritual creatures, the Pandaren, and disturbed something lurking just under the surface. Listen now: World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria The 4th expansion pack to the award-winning, best-selling MMORPG juggernaut by Blizzard Entertainment, Mists of Pandaria. Released September 25, 2012. Mists of Pandaria expands upon the the closed story of Cataclysm, finding aggressions between the Horde and Alliance at an all-time high. When a naval skirmish between the factions goes awry, boats from both sides find themselves crashed on the shores of a long lost, mist-shrouded island. Neither the Horde nor the Alliance know what sort of allies, or enemies, they may find among it’s native peoples, nor what their presence on this undisturbed island will awaken.

Make no mistake about it... Pandaria is *gorgeous*. The scenery is amazing, the monsters are fierce and NEW (big bonus points for not rehashing old models as they’re prone to doing), and the quests have a flow to them that isn’t found anywhere else in Azeroth. In spite of the systems bar being raised higher, Blizzard has still managed to keep the requirements loose enough that pretty much anybody who WANTS to play still can.
