World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria is a name trademarked[1] by Blizzard Entertainment[2] that will be the next expansion[3] after
Cataclysm. MMO Champion speculated that it could be the name for the next
expansion[2] and turned out to be correct. Kotaku pointed out that a similar early registration of "Cataclysm" turned out to be the new expansion name.[4]
MMO Champion's speculation that it might be the next expansion was met by skepticism by several media outlets.[5][6][7] 1UP actually tried to contact Blizzard about this and the reply was "not ready to reveal any details at this time".[8] Strangely, a gaming and technology blogger said that there was a leak about the next expansion being focused on the island of Pandaria back in March 2011.[9]
Finally, Medievaldragon of Blizzplanet wrote a very nice, comprehensive article about the speculation surrounding the rumors and Pandaria in general.[10]
A release date for the expansion has not been announced, but some analysts doubt it will be released in 2012.[11] Also, in Activision-Blizzard's 2011 Q4 financials call, only Diablo III was confidently predicted to be released in 2012[12][13] with a possible second release being either Mists of Pandaria or StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm.[14][15]
Debunked?
Edit
Blizzplanet interpreted a brief comment by Tom Chilton as potentially debunking Mists of Pandaria as the new expansion, something upcoming in World of Warcraft, or something like that (it was all pretty vague).[16][17] The interpretation turned out not to be a debunking and apparently just vague.
BlizzCon 2011 announcement
Edit
At BlizzCon 2011, Mists of Pandaria was announced as the fourth expansion to the World of Warcraft series.[3] The expansion is set to include a new race for both factions, the Pandaren, as well as a new playable class, the Monk. Other features include a new talent tree system, challenge mode dungeons and a revival of classic Horde versus Alliance warfare.
Beta
Edit
Annual pass customers were promised access to the
Mists of Pandaria closed beta and access to a beta download page was briefly available around March 7th, 2012,[18] but it was apparently unintentional and access was removed shortly after.
A closed beta test period was announced on March 20, 2012 with invites going to Annual Pass holders, press, fansites, friends and family, and opt-in beta testers.[19] MMO Champion may have gotten access soon after the opt-in announcement[20] and an official announcement of the start of the Beta was released late March 21st, 2012.[21] The first version of the beta client was Patch 5.0.1.
System requirements
Edit
Full system requirements have not been announced, but they should be similar to the
Cataclysm expansion. Blizzard has confirmed that
Mists of Pandaria will not support Windows 2000 or earlier.[22]
Overview
Edit
- Level cap increased to 90.
- Profession cap increased to 600.
- Eleventh character slot added to accommodate new class.
-
Garrosh Hellscream is planned to be the final encounter, as he grows more power-hungry. This will culminate in the Siege of Orgrimmar, where both factions lay siege to the city in an effort to topple Garrosh from power.[23]
- New login screen.[24][25]
New zones and types of zones
Edit

- Kun-Lai Summit - Northern zone. Level 86 - 88.[26]

- Krasarang Wilds - Southern shore.[27] Level 86 - 90.[26]

Alliance and

- One of these is the
Sha of Anger.
- One of these is the
Cross-realm zones
Edit
- Main article: Cross-realm zones
- Some zones, depending on population, will allow players to interact across realms.[29]
- The specific determination for when a zone will become cross-realm has yet to be revealed, but well known high population zones (quest hub cities and nearby zones) will not be cross-realm.
Pandaren
Edit
The expansion will introduce a new playable Pandaren race that will be available to both factions.[3]
- The Wandering Isle starting zone is actually a giant turtle!
- Pandaren characters will start out
Neutral and choose either
Alliance or
Horde at level 10.
-
Alliance Pandaren are led by Aysa Cloudsinger, a leader that believes the ends never justify the means.[30] Aysa promotes the life philosophy of Tushui through meditation, rigorous training, and moral conviction.[31]
-
Horde Pandaren are led by Ji Firepaw, a staunch defender of home and hearth.[30] Ji, who is outgoing, passionate, and not one for deep thought, leads in the moment by following the more direct Huojin philosophy, believing inaction is the greatest injustice.[31]
-
- Pandaren will be able to be the following classes: Monk, Mage, Priest, Hunter, Rogue, Warrior, and Shaman.
- Pandaren have 5 racial abilities which include the ability to knock out opponents for a few seconds, and less damage from falling.[32]
Monks
Edit
- Monks will be a selectable class for playable races up through Mists of Pandaria, except the races introduced with
Cataclysm. The Worgen and Goblins will not have access to this class.
- Monks will use Cloth and Leather items.
- Monks can use the following weapons: Hands and feet, Fist Weapons, One-Handed Axes, One-Handed Maces, One-Handed Swords, Polearms, and Staves.
- Initially it was announced that monks would not have an auto-attack, but that was changed and they now do.[33]
- Brewmasters and Windwalkers will use energy, which in turn will fill their chi. So far it looks as if chi will have three "spheres" to fill, and abilities will cost anywhere from one to three.
- Mistweavers will use mana in place of energy.[34]
- Mistweavers will use mana in place of energy.[34]

- New gear preview during the first step of the character creation process.
- We now display your character in a high-level armor set specific to the class you've selected. Your character will appear in its normal starting gear only after you've confirmed your race, class, and gender and moved to step two (appearance customization).
- Class and race information and choice moved from the selection menus to a new "More Info" button located on the bottom-left of the screen.
- Thumbnails for each character customization option.
Stat changes
Edit

- Chance to block will be handled by a separate combat roll for each attack that is not avoided. Block will also have diminishing returns.[38]

- PvP Power replaces Spell penetration and PvP Resilience replaces Resilience.[38][39]
Talent revamp
Edit
- See Talent calculator for links to latest expansion calculators.
This expansion will make dramatic changes to how the talent system works that Blizzard is calling "Talents 2.0".[3]
- No talent points or ranks.
- One talent tree per class.
- Earn talents every 15 levels, but spec abilities may be available every 10 levels or so.
- Every talent addition you can choose 1 of 3 and you can't change it without a fresh re-spec.
- No mandatory talents.*
- Change talents as easily as glyphs.
- Talents that appear to have the same name as existing abilities may have dramatically changed in effect.
Talent revamp based on categorization evaluation of current talents:[40]
- Mandatory - Talents that were previously considered nearly mandatory will be automatically added.
- Very cool, but not mandatory - The heart of the new talent system are talents that are cool options, but won't penalize you if you don't pick them.
- Sort of cool - Most of these type talents will be made glyphs.
- Boring - Baking into base spells instead of as modifiers.
- Useless - These will be cut unless they are requested by players after trying out new system.

Speculation swirled recently regarding Blizzard's decision to trademark 'Mists of Pandaria', as many thought it may indicate the name of the next World of Warcraft expansion. Pandaria, in Warcraft lore, refers to the home of the Pandaren, basically humanoid war pandas you may remember making an appearance as neutral heroes in in Warcraft III. Chilton said the speculation was, "wildly overhyped." He added, "if you look at traditionally how we've handled that race it's been in those secondary products because we haven't realized it in the world. Most of the time when we do anything panda-related it's going to be a comic book or a figurine or something like that."
