And here I was so sure that I’d paid my dues to the life-devouring hole that is World of Warcraft. The new expansion, Mists of Pandaria, promises a new level cap of 90, a new continent chock full of Asian flair, and kung fu pandas…KUNG FU PANDAS!!!!! Here’s the official description from Blizzard and the trailer.

Shrouded in fog since the world was sundered more than ten thousand years ago, the ancient realm of Pandaria has remained unspoiled by war. Its lush forests and cloud-ringed mountains are home to a complex ecosystem of indigenous races and exotic creatures. It is the homeland of the enigmatic Pandaren, a race that celebrates life to the fullest even while under siege by an ancient menace.

The new continent reveals itself to a broken world just as the Alliance and Horde are spiraling ever closer to a war that will consume all of Azeroth. Will the mists of Pandaria part to reveal the world’s salvation? Or will the battle to control this rich and breathtaking new land push the two mighty factions over the brink of war and into total annihilation? The answers await within Pandaria’s mysterious shores!
