This is the WoW: Mists of Pandaria Opening Sequence
Here's the opening sequence to Mists of Pandaria, the fourth expansion for World of Warcraft.
Blizzard sent over a video (below) and a screenshot (above) yanked from the opening sequence to World of Warcraft's fourth expansion, Mists of Pandaria. The new content will arrive next month on September 25, offered in DVD format for Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7 and Macintosh, and in digital form directly from Blizzard's World of Warcraft website, both priced at $39.99 USD.
"You've ended Deathwing's destructive rampage and saved the dragonflights from extinction," reads Blizzard's new description. "Now you must unlock the mysteries of the lost continent and discover the dark secrets of Pandaria's past. Explore ancient kingdoms hidden since before the Sundering, plunder vast treasures from the depths of the forgotten vaults, and rise to defend Pandaria from the shadow of a long buried evil - before it's too late."
A special Collector's Edition packed with bonus items will be available exclusively in retail stores for a suggested retail price of $79.99 USD. The Digital Deluxe version will cost $59.99 USD and include a full digital copy of the expansion along with the following exclusive in-game bonus items. Players who purchase the standard edition digitally or at retail will have the option to upgrade to the Digital Deluxe version at any time (for as long as the standalone Digital Deluxe version remains available) for an additional $20 USD.
The new expansion features a new playable race (the Pandaren) with its own starting zone and quests, a new character class (the monk), and an expansive new continent for players to explore. There's also a new level cap of 90, a flexible new kind of cooperative PvE trial, challenge modes and a pet battle system. The opening cinematic embedded below was first presented at Gamescom 2012 this week.
"Whether you’re Horde or Alliance, there is one question we all must consider: Why do we fight?" Blizzard says.

Good trailer, only if the game would live up to it.
Trailer great, game will be meh, as usual.

Trailer was pretty crappy.
So, Blizzard... You're finally telling us you'll go faction free and Free for All PvP? Good, Good! I might even consider going back if that's the case; there's a lot of my own faction folks I'd like to slaughter because PvP.
Cheers!
This is like trying to save a rotten dying tree while trampling the new sapling beside it.
WoW isn't really dieing, 10+ million subs is a huge amount, even EA hasn't killed Ultima Online yet and its below 100k subs. WoW will be around at least until Titan is released and I would bet that Blizzard will offer them both for a while then slowly find a way to transition people off WoW and into Titan.
I played WoW until a few months before Cata dropped and I am glad I got out when I did. But, it was fun while it lasted.
anyone can create in interesting short movie, that isnt hard in the least, but sustaining a naritive throughout a what, 90 minute to 150 minutes is far FAR more challenging. that said, if they ever got a good enough script and made a movie, i would so be willing to buy it.
till now, have they had any asian culture in the game? i really dont know this part.
than if the only reason they put it in is to be the asian monk, than you would get morons who call it racist.
the class itself is one thats in many rpgs to the point you expect it.
i actully feel sorry for you that you are so dead inside you cant enjoy a game because of that... wow was never uber realistic, and you may have a point, and i mean MAY, if it was in a realistic setting.
may not be at peak numbers any more, but it still has a larger active player base than most games sell coppeis.
meh, its hard to make an active game out of an mmo, where you need skill to play. im not saying you dont need skill to play wow, just a different kind of skill thats harder to get.
I think 14/15 is a little too high. Seems more like 9 or 10 year olds.
The Pandas are part of Warcraft lore, why they picked that instead of fixing multi year old issues and expanding on content / factions / enemies from Vanilla, BC & LK is a little beyond me. But maybe new content that players will rip through in 3 days is a good idea for a 2 year wait.
Alidan is correct. A significant portion of WoW subs are now asian, and it's more likely for Blizz to get more new Subs from that region of the world than from the EU or the Americas. Add in "Asian" style classes/races, Asian style dragon mounts / pets and the Pokemon combat system .... sorry I mean pet battles ... actually no, lets call it what it is, stupid WoW Pokemon combat system. And your more likely to get more new subs vs the number of subs lost due to the silliness factor.
Oh well only another 2 years until X-Pac 5. Maybe by then Blizz will have come to their senses and will reward / try to keep their existing subs instead of doing silly things to attract new subs. LOL Like that will ever happen.
