AusGamers was on the ground, as you probably know, but we're not always free to write stuff in absolution due to the body of work in front of us. Thankfully this year, our very own Khel, a name you should all know as a senior member of our community, took the time out to inject his WoW knowledge in a write-up outlining the major changes and additions coming to Mists of Pandaria, and was gracious enough to let us feature it for him as a main-site preview.
I also hope you like at least one of the screens I added to his piece, which you can check out right here.

I've been waiting for the Pandarians for a while, and a Pokemon style pet system sounds like hella fun. Actually, just the fact this xpac is focusing on the war between Alliance and Horde is enough for me to grab it.

WoW's been lacking in s*** to do that's amusing and fun outside of raiding or questing, so nice to see they're learning.

Its non-combat pets mostly I think Raazel, but there is something cool for hunter pets as well, you're going to be able to assign any role (tanking, dps or support) to any pet as a hunter. So you wont be, for example, locked into using a turtle pet to tank and a spider pet to pvp and a cat to dps, you can use whatever pet you like the look of and make it fill whatever role you want.

Shorter dungeons should be handy as well, for people like myself who just couldn't be arsed spending 1+ hours running a dungeon. Combined with the changes in 4.0-4.3 with tank threat and CC aggro (or lack thereof) it should make running PUG heroics a whole lot less painful.

I signed up for the 12 month subscription, sort of regret it since I've pre-ordered BF3 and Skyrim.

They said at Blizzcon that they're trying to get expansions out every 18 months instead of every 2 years, so that would put it at about mid year next year. Diablo 3 is pegged for early 2012 though

I can't deny that when I first played this game I absolutely loved it. The way you could quest and get completely drawn into the game. The thrill of exploring a new zone . The excitement of my first PVP in WSG was awesome. I even remember finding the entrance to WSG in the barrens by chance.
Ah the memories. Hopefully they can completely re-design the world and bring back the excitement of exploring new lands. I know the expansions offered new lands but it never felt the same as the original. No doubt this expansion looks good but I honestly think they need to completely re-do the game engine and start over. I wouldn't even care if the mechanics were the same with a new engine. I just want them to take advantage of the graphics available now. That's what is holding this game back from continuing on as the best game ever.
