World of Warcraft, Mists of Pandaria opens in just under 7 hours from now (2am Central, 12am Pacific) and Blizzard has released a nearly 7-minute video highlighting the additions and updates.
I know some have mocked the addition of the Panda as a playable race, but looking beyond that, there is quite a bit of content being added, and that is what many are going to be looking at. It will raise the level cap from 85 to 90, and a pet battle system is begin added. There is a new system in place of talent trees, and quite a few new creatures and races.
So what’s covered in the video above? Besides the new monk class being covered, there’s quite a bit of the content being featured.
