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".

    I think it's gonna be a future Trading Card Game title.. imo...


    Look up Pandaria on wowpedia... seems I can't post links until I've posted a few times. Mentions that Pandaria is part of the Warcraft RPG. It may be a future future expansion, maybe 2 expansions away or something of the sort?

    Seriously? A cross promotion with Panda express? What are you smoking? Samwise Didier created the Pandaren from his personal habit of putting pandas in everything.

    Oh noes! HORDE can have furbolgs, and alliance will take panderen

    Nope. Pandaren would be horde. :P Alliance already have furbolg allies.

    Two new races in next expansion. Horde will get Ogres and Alliance get the Pandarians. Trust me.

    You mean that like that giant forest area with no NPCs or mobs?

    Do we really need panda bears? While the name sounds like a mountainous set of islands, a new playable race was not what i was hoping for. while i realize a new race is easier to create then a new class, i'd prefer an expansion with no new race or class over using pandarians.

    I wonder why people are quick to assume Pandaren will be Alliance? Cause it's a "pretty" race? Wonder what Samwise would have to say about that. :P

    I'd hope for a neutral race for Pandaren. Where after you complete their starting area, you can choose which side you go to.

    Absolutely not, but I've never seen anyone else come up with the idea for them to be available to both factions! =P

    Um no. They were put in as an Easter egg joke - nothing more. As far as China and the whole panda thing - it's a rumour that needs to die. China is not going to boycot World of Warcraft because the developers placed images of Pandas in the game. If they didn't want them in the game they would simply edit the game as they already do - IE. removing anything skeletal in nature.

    if its not alliance then its neutral. 100% no chance of being horde only

    If this is for real then it sounds extremely boring and underwhelming.Yay we have to find the land of the giant panda people, then prolly save them from Kil'jaeden because the legion is going to use them as their new super-soldiers to destroy Azeroth.

    Meh.

    pandaren seem way more like a horde race than an alliance race

    This sounds incredibly stupid. Cataclysm made it interesting. I wish they would continue the Cataclysm idea rather then make it a foot note like usual and send us off to yet another shitty new place.

    Samwise loves the horde x3 ,and he basiclly created the race sooo there most likely going to be horde :P. I actually find them fitting more into the horde... WOOT WOOT BREWMASTER CLASS PLZ!
