Details of Mists of Pandaria

They are planning on moving all players away from Orgrimmar and Stormwind and to leave poeple in Inns in the wild again :D

World PVE content, meaning world PVP on the respective servers!

Talent changes for all character classes! Deeper customisation for more original characters. (Personal note: most probably this will eventually land in cookie-cutter builds again.)

5 new zones in the Continent of Pandaria... all on one continent, which will be influenced by Asian culture and the environment!

There will be no flying until the MAXIMUM LEVEL! This is a throwback to the original questing experiences.

The whole of the continent will be nearly 10 times bigger than the Twilight Highlands!

Events of the final battle in Cataclysm will lead to the uncovering of the new zone!

The starter zone for the Pandarens will be on the back of a giant turtle! (Discworld anyone?)

You will be able to choose either Alliance or Horde side at level 10, once the initial quests and an introduction for the new race has been experienced.

Mists of Pandaria

The new World of Warcraft Expansion has been announced! Along with screaming and the usual Chris Metzen style of introduction, the new game was announced, and the trailer shown on the large screens above the heads of the Blizzcon ongoers. A trailer which shows the new Pandaren race, and the new Monk fighting class!

The race will be available to both Alliance and Horde factions.

Live updates in an upcoming post will follow...
