As many World of Warcraft players know, a new expansion pack known as World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria was announced at Blizzcon during 2011. It is the fourth expansion pack, and will be released on October 11, 2012. In the article, I will be disussing the fans' expectations to the game, as well as the skepticism that surrounds the game.
The first announcement of World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria was originally an "April Fool's" joke made by Blizzard, inc. to entertain their fans. However, several large fanbases/fansites liked the idea, and Blizzard listened to their thoughts, and began to discuss whether it would seriously be an actual expansion pack to the game. Not only did several fanbases like the idea, but the lore of the original Warcraft games actually supported the existence of the Pandaren, a mysterious panda-like race that has existed since The Sundering (the creation/cooling of the earth). Because of the Pandaren's apparent existence, Blizzard, inc. decided to respect the game's story and went on to begin developing World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria.
Although there were a few fanbases that welcomed the idea, some players were and still are dissapointed with the expansion. They insist that the Pandaren are childish because of their similarity to the main character in the movie Kung Fu Panda. However, other players give their rebuttal to this argument, saying that the Pandaren are far from childish, and this is true in many ways. Although the Pandaren look "cute", as some would say, on the outside, they are famed for heavy drinking and violent bar fights, making them one of the most intimidating creatures of Azeroth.
Although I, personally, think that I will enjoy this new expansion, I leave it to you, the readers, to discuss your opinions in the comment section. Thank you.
