In the last few months, as many know WoW's player base has been shrinking. Some blame Rift and Bioware's newly released SWTOR, others blame Cataclysm being a "failure" and that we saw significant number drop offs towards the end of Wrath and that its nothing to worry about.
I don't care either way, World of Warcraft is the most popular online MMORPG and will stay that way for quite some time, however I do believe WoW could do with a bit of a shake up, I for one wasn't a huge fan of Cataclysm.
For those who don't know (how could you not??) Mists of Pandaria will take place in a new continent, like Northrend did for example.
Mists of Pandaria will feature the Pandaren. The Pandaren are .. fittingly named, Pandas.
That's right, Panda bears in World of Warcraft!
Most notably Mists of Pandaren will see the level cap raised to 90 and the introduction of the Pandaren as playable races, available to both the Alliance and the Horde. Monks will also be a new class exclusive to the Pandaren.
Mists of Pandaria was meant to be an April Fools joke by Blizzard - so many fans were shocked when Mists of Pandaria was actually announced as a legit expansion to World of Warcraft.
The Pandaren race have existed back in the Warcraft series so Blizzard aren't pulling this new race out of nowhere.
However I do think Pandas really dont fit in with Azeroth as much as Humans, Dwarfs, Orcs and Elves do, but that's just me, I'm a bit of a skeptic on the upcoming expansion and I really want it to deliver like Blizzard promises it will, with more competition like Guild Wars 2 being released later this year, World of Warcraft needs a new expansion to bring old and new players into the world of Azeroth and shake things up.
