Update - For the record, the international codes 009 and 041 only seems to appear on Blizzard's online games trademarks. This isn't a book or anything like that. It appears incredibly likely based on previous trademarks obtained by Blizzard that this is the next expansion.


Mists of Pandaria
Blizzard just trademarked a very interesting "Mists of Pandaria".

    Someone has prolly said this but it's probably an iPad/iPhone/Android or Vita/DS3D game using the WOW IP. They tend to target games at a younger audience for handhelds.

    Have you not read the first sentence of this post, that's on the front page... It's a game... not TCG or a Novel. A game that goes on a disk and sold.

    If the leaked table of release windows is correct, which it is looking to be more and more, we'll see the xpac coming out this time next year. So it would make sence to register the name now, doesn't seem as evil as the other names tho, and do they usually not include World of Warcraft: when registering the name?
    for example: "World of Warcraft: Cataclysm"

    No trademarks on the trademark website were always subtitle only.

    But plans change during the years, including level caps, zones, their names and level ranges. For example, 70-80 was a mistake and they corrected it by giving only 5 more levels after that. According to their first plans, we'd be level 100 when the next expansion launches, but won't be more than 90 instead due to the too big increase in ilvls, thanks to heroic modes.
    <sigh> Seriously guys, learn to just bloody search the archives of this site. The creator of that list has HIMSELF explained how it was a hoax, and how he backdated some things to make it look like there was in formation there that really wasn't. There were legion (haha) reasons in the first place most people knew it was a hoax, but it's quite insane that years on after the instigator has come clean there's still people that fall for it. Go be ashamed of yourself, and go search the archive and get educated.

    Seems very weird. The only way they'd name the entire expansion after the pandas is if they were the enemy.. and that would just be weird

    So what's the next raid instance in Cataclysm or is firelands it now until the next expansion?

    There is still hope that most of the pandarians have been wiped out and we will settle in old chinese buildings somewhere in the south seas... I can't take more furries...

    Quick Boub post something on the frontpage that will generate us a ton of ad impressions because there's literally nothing going on in the world of WoW atm, mk

    So in The burning crusade , we fight off the legion on outland aswell as on azeroth. In Wrath of the Lich King , we battle the scourge and its evil master - The Lich King. In Cataclysm , we try to survive the cataclysm and defeat the ones that caused it . So please, please don't tell me that in mists of pandaria we are going to be fightning a giant ninja banda

    Well then, welcome the first hero race, the unkillable Pandaren!

    This is rather interesting. I'm actually excited about this more lighthearted expansion idea, been getting tired of the doom, destruction and war-themes. And a slightly less "mature" expansion also wouldn't bother me, as for example Zelda Wind Waker was an awesome game. Far east architecture has also always intrigued me. But we definitely need new character models for the old races for this expansion.

    Oh and for the usual WoW is dying -folks, crawl back under your rocks please. I'm not interested in Diablo, SWToR, GW2 or any other game that'll just end up like AoC, Rift (this one I even tried and my god was it clumsy), and all the other failures. (well the last sentence doesn't apply to Diablo, but I still don't want to play it. )

    Why people still think there are still 1.5 years to finish up cata??? the blizzard product slate is almost a confirmed schedule. And wow Expansion 4 will be out in 2nd quarter of 2012 according to it.

    Maybe Blizzard are tired of war and the next expansion is all about peace. Raids could be about reducing carbon gasses in the atmosphere and planting trees in the areas Deathwing set alight.

    90% of the people posting in this thread said it would never happen, can pretty much guarantee that. Now look at them eat their words and pretend they were supportive of it all along.

    Did anyone suggest that this might actually be an Online version of the TCG? Similar to Magic: Duels of the Planeswalkers.

    As long as I get some form of a Panda pet, I don't care. IT SAYS PANDA I WANT A PANDA. (Ok a black and white Murloc will do)
