Posted on September 25, 2012 by Les Major

The magical words appared in World of Warcraft announcing Mists of Pandaria had launched! Sadly I watched as my guild mates ran off to make Pandaren monks, however I figured I’d go check out the action around Stormwind. I was delighted to learn that Battle Pet Trainers would train my character even though I don’t have the expansion! What followed has almost been an hour of awesome collecting action!Read More

Mists of Pandaria’s Pet Battle System Details

Posted on August 25, 2012 by Les Major

Though it is very much a Pokémon system for WOW, I’m very eager to get into the Mists of Pandaria Pet Battle System. For those unfamiliar with the concept, the pet battle system takes your collectable yet non-combat companions and turns them into characters you can level up, teach skills to, and even hunt in the wild to add to your collection!

So instead of just buying or finding pets as item drops, you can now encounter and capture pets in the wild. I’m excited for this. The main story to Pandaria sounds wonderful to me and I’m eager to enjoy that new WOW content, but the pet battle system sounds like a bonus game that comes with the universe you’ve already come to know and love. It’s there for those who want to finally name that hard earned rare drop pet and turn it into a high level champion of this new system. Read on for more details Read More

Mists of Pandaria Cinematic Intro Released

Posted on August 24, 2012 by Les Major

The intro video for the latest upcoming expansion to World of Warcraft has been released! Keeping with Blizzards explanation from Mists reveal, this cinematic features a Pandaren being the peaceful, but able, innocent between the two factions. I’ve personally been holding back on researching information to play out the story myself, but I’m eager to see how the Alliance and Horde influences affect Pandaria.

Set to be released on the 25th of September, that means one month today you’ll be able to play WOW’s first dual faction race. It also adds the new Monk class to the game. Mists is the fourth expansion to the long running MMO based on the lore from the classic RTS franchise.
