Behind the Design of WoW: Mists of Pandaria

The irony of seeing a Guild Wars 2 ad plastered on the bottom and the side of my screen was delicious.
This just about sums up WoW nowadays.

I for one am looking forward to what this expansion has to offer. At first I was scratching my head at the idea of pandas like everyone else but after actually playing through some of the beta and seeing what it has to offer has completely changed my mind.
The Jade Forest alone sold me on what they were trying to do, the art direction and atmosphere of that zone is pretty mind blowing. I wasn't that excited for the last expansion when it came out but this has me almost counting the days.

I'm actually really looking forward to this expansion.
Honestly, there's a lot of stuff for all kinds of players to do. Plus, those zones are simply beautiful.
Haters can keep on hatin'

I honestly forgot this was coming out this month :/. This actually makes me sad, I've played since day one and I forgot this expansion was coming out lol. Guess i'm finally letting go for good.
Either way, it looks pretty neat. Hope it brings fun to WoW players for longer than Cata did >_>

I really found the GW2 ad on the bottom hilarious.
Honestly, this just looks old. Like, this looks like a game expansion I would have been excited for oh... four or five years ago. The art style is almost drifting into generic fantasy mmo territory. A little odd to me, especially since I thought WOTLK had some great art style going on.
Ah well... back to my gw 2 necro...

Meanwhile at Blizzard:
Greg Street: We need to find a way to reward exploration and actually make it fun!
Tom Chilton: You mean like Guild Wars 2?
Greg Street: LIGHT BULB
Tom Chilton: ...minus the eye popping next-gen visuals, jumping puzzles, skill challenges and dynamic events?
Greg Street: Oh shut up, we're not going to steal more than one idea at a time!

Guild Wars 2 has received very positive reviews, so if I'm going to drop $60.00 it will be for that. WoW, tried the free trial wasn't impressed never understood the attraction.
I can't possibly be the only one who is predicting that MoP is going to be SPAMMED with Kung Fu Panda fantards invariably naming their Pandaren Monks "Po", "Mastertigress" etc.
Fucking cancel this MMO already or make it F2P. I can't believe I wasted 6 years of my life playing it.
