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".

    As long as it includes updated player models and a new class they can call it whatever they want.

    What are you talking about? When that list was created, the creator already knew about Outland and Northrend, because the list was created in late 2007. He then guessed that the next expansion was a sea-based expansion with focus on the Maelstrom as an engame zone in the same vein as Icecrown Glacier or Shadowmoon Valley. Meaning he was wrong. And without a doubt, not a wizard. Cataclysm is not a "Maelstrom" expansion. Have you not been paying attention for the last year?

    btw if the Pandarens were a playable race then wouldn't it be more likely that they were horde? Extract from wowpedia:

    Their fondness for the Ironforge dwarves doesn’t put the pandaren in a likely position to join the Alliance any time soon. They feel the Alliance gives too much weight to politics, treaties, and arcane magic when, really, all one needs to do is step outside one's door, taste the air, feel the earth and take one’s cues from there. Overall, the Alliance is unnecessarily complicated for the pandaren, and although they do enjoy visiting Theramore (especially for the taverns), they don't plan on setting up homes there any time soon.
    They have much in common with the horde when it comes to spirituality, but they are unlikely to join their forces either. The Horde is formed of races in the midst of healing, the pandaren believe, and they need to find themselves before they can allow anyone else to join their fold.

    Besides, the pandaren are just visiting.

    This, the alliance aren't likely t change that, but the horde could be seen to have finished healing. what with metzen at comic-con saying that thrall will return means that one douche (garrosh) will be dealt with. Then the tauren will trust more, the trolls trust thrall, the belves will stand there and do nothing. Sylvanas by that time will have probably had her lore developed so whatevr happens to her will happen. So after all of this and cataclysm maybe the horde will come out for the beter? Seeing this the pandaren decide to join with them. I see it is amore likely than thenm joining the alliance.

    Just mah 2 cents

    You've forgotten to quote "Pandaren do not care much for the blood elves or Forsaken.They find all jungle trolls puzzling, as they view them as practicing divine magic, but for evil purposes, which doesn't coincide with the pandaren philosophy (geomancy). They apparently view the troll practice of "voodoo" as evil."

    In addition:

    Strong reason to join Alliance:
    "Their outlook meshes well with the Alliance, and most of the few pandaren in Kalimdor are found in the company of Alliance races. Several (a small fighting force) helped the Alliance fight the blood elves on their way to Outland and Northrend (this is likely a reference to the pandaren brewmaster and mercenaries of in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne who attempted to stop Kael's blood elves from escaping Dalaran). Of the Alliance races, they are particularly fond of the Ironforge dwarves, and citizens of Theramore (especially half-elves, whom they find to be similarly minded and ideal traveling partners). Gnomes and pandaren have the same philosophy when it comes to problem solving.. Pandaren are often found in the company of dwarves in the Eastern Kingdoms, and many have made journeys to Khaz Modan. Being a race that honors their ancestors as well, they aid the dwarves in their search for titan artifacts when they can. Pandaren are also friends with the night elves, and the beliefs of the druidic night elves and pandaren are currently similar. This could allow them to become allies again in the future."

    Strong reason to join Horde:
    "Nearly same beliefs, there is far more shamans than in Alliance (only one[this is obsolete now] race in Alliance use shamanism, and this is the quite new school for them. Also, number of draenei is far less than orcs, trolls or tauren.) and same number of druids."

    Hey guys,

    A few weeks ago, there was a post about Alcaz Island: http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/...age=8#comments

    Perhaps this will turn out to be Pandaria in the new expansion if this Pandaren story should come true?

    I doubt Alcaz Island would be the whole island of Pandaria. Although it might have something to do with an intro for the Mists of Pandaria (kinda like how the Ruby Sanctum was a sort of intro for Cataclysm)

    I really don't have any strong feelings towards this (neither positive nor negative). If I should speculate:

    The war between the Alliance and the Horde and the need for controlling resources continues to ravage even after DW is defeated. Somehow Pandaria is discoverred and the fight for resources continues there forcing the Pandarens to choose side.

    What I mean by this is that IF they should become a playable race they will most likely be available to both factions.

    Purely speculative though.
