After the Horde and Alliance battled at the epicenter of the Cataclysm in the last chapter of the World of Warcraft saga, one single discovery sent shockwaves throughout the entire world of Azeroth and forever changed the landscape of the epic, unfolding war. Shrouded in mist, untainted by war and harboring powerful secrets that the world had forgotten, the continent of Pandaria spent millennia completely unknown to the members of the warring Horde and Alliance. But all of that is about to change. Like it or not, the Pandarens are about to be dragged into the World of Warcraft, where they just may alter the path of fate forever.World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria deports you to a mysterious new land rich with a lush ecosystem, strange creatures and an enigmatic new race, the Pandarens. For the first time ever in a World of Warcraft adventure, you have the opportunity to play as a member of the neutral race — and ultimately decide whether these new people will join the ranks of the Alliance or the Horde. Just as tensions between the two warring factions are reaching a breaking point, the Pandarens can make or break the battle for one of the armies, with the keys to hidden secrets that could change all of Azeroth. Within the new race, discover the powerful Monk playing class, one with incredible martial arts skills and the abilities to act as a damage dealer, healer or tank during battle. Reach new heights in the realm of Azeroth as you advance to the all-new level cap of 90, and unleash potent new spells and abilities, explore uncharted zones such as the lush Jade Forest and treacherous Kun-Lai Summit and take on challenging new content. Step up the MMORPG action in new modes, including a five-player Dungeon timed challenge, tactical Pet Battles and a flexible new type of PvE challenge that allows you to work with friends to achieve goals in tandem. The secrets to new success and power are within your grasp — if you can cut through the Mists.
