Mists of Pandaria Is Live: Are You Panda Or Are You Out?

Posted on Tuesday, September 25 @ 09:53:48 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

Whether or not you're a fanatic of World of Warcraft you're perfectly aware that Mists of Pandaria, the game's fourth expansion, came out today given there are ads absolutely everywhere. No seriously, these damn pandas are taking over the internet.

As easy as it is to say "I'm done with World of Warcraft" it's much harder to say no once everyone is talking about it and you decide to look at a list of the new content. Here, I'll go ahead and throw it in your face:

Highly-stylized new content called Pandaria.
Kung Fu Pan... I mean Pandaren... have been added.
Now you can play as a Monk and use your chi and fists to pulverize foes.
Challenge modes for the hardcore, "I'm better than you" crowd.
Scenarios keep you from having a reason to /afk in Orgrimmar—or Stormwind if you're Alliance scum.
Pet battle system for the Pokemon—and Digimon but who plays that?—fans.
New talent system to confuse you into oblivion.
New enemies to destroy you and make you run back to your corpse.
Several new dungeons and battlegrounds to test your strength.

Quite honestly, I didn't even really think about picking up Mists of Pandaria until I gave it a good look two days ago. Now I'm ready for another month or two of making up excuses to not hang out with my friends and build up a nice Summer pale—who doesn't want to look like Kratos?

So I ask you: are you enjoying some panda or are you out? If you decide to pick it up let us know which class you'll be playing. I've been tearing my hair out trying to decide whether to main my 85 Death Knight, 85 Paladin, or 85 Priest, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

Adding Pandas won't change the fact that WoW sucks.

Glad to say that I'm not playing again. I've got a few level 80's that I haven't touched since before Uldar (I think that's what it's called anyway) came out. The only thing here that seems somewhat interesting to me is the pokemon they added seems kinda fun =P But I've always been a big pokemon fan.

Monk is probably fun, but besides that I see nothing but the same and Pokemon. I left after WotLK when there was still some lore involved, and have never looked back.

Solid game so far from what I've seen. and enjoying the leveling experience can't say I loved my time in "Valley of the Four Winds". but other then that I've had fun.

I kinda hated the first hour of the jade forest, but after you recruit the new people there, it starts to kick-off! Lots of poo related quest horde side, by the way...

Yep, me too. This will be the first WoW expansion I don't get back on board for. WoW was my disease, GW2 is the cure.

Yes, but my new disease doesn't cost $15 a month and hasn't yet made me want to pull my hair out.

The hardest part in the game for me... was giving a good name for my panda. And darn it, jean claude van pandaren is too long.

I quit during end-game WOTLK and never went back. I thought, very briefly, about playing on a free private server just because some friends had talked about it.

I'm enjoying GW2 for now, but even if I wasn't, I wouldn't be paying Blizzard.

Unfortunatly i just cant get myself to pay for mmorpgs anymore. I enjoy other games equally as much, and they dont necesarrily eat up ALL your time. But i think wow was fun back when i played.

Miss eve online more though.

I've had Borderlands and Darksiders 2 for about a week or two now. I've MAYBE put 15 hours into each with my work schedule and catching up on Walking Dead waiting for season 3.

I played the 10 day trial of WOTLK and it was cool...I just can't justify the money per month. I mean I could buy 15 new iphone games per month (or a couple of the more expensive ones) that I'd get more time in with.

Let it be noted - not that I would buy 15 iphone games otherwise, I have yet to buy one (maybe infiinity blade and rayman jungle jam).
