The expansion first launched in September 2012 and introduced Pandaria, a new continent based on Chinese folklore inhabited by Pandarens (who also served as a new playable race). Players could also use a new class, the Monk, and the level cap was raised from 85 to 90. There were also several new dungeons, raids, and battlegrounds, with more added over time.

While Mists of Pandaria will retain the core experience that fans remember from back in the day, new features and quality-of-life improvements are also likely inbound. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months.

As for World of Warcraft Classic’s new realms, it’s part of the 20th Anniversary Edition and will include a new Hardcore realm. You can also look forward to a PvP Honor Ranking system and the Chronoboon Displacer. Head here for more information.
