Comments
  • Queue all the "WoW is dead" whinners.
  • Sorry WoW fans, but I think that this game is dangerous to one's social life. It does seem like a pretty cool game, especially all of the KUNG FU PANDAS!
  • WoW fans will be pleased. I'm sure this patch will help experience the game/MoP the way it was meant to be played. Always good news to hear about a patch fix for any MMO.
  • This xpac is pretty awesome except for all the dailies, yaaaaargh. Me no likey dailies.
  • Haven't seen this game in 7 years! :)

  • Why would they name a patch?
  • Huh, Pandas. I guess WoW is as strong as ever but people just moved on from making fun of it. Who knew?
  • This patch is winning. 2 months and already a major patch.
  • Who knew pandas could look so cute while kicking so much ass?

  • Pandaria needed this. Seeing as it was rife with glitches of course...
  • Must...resist.
  • Looks like a juicy update.  Sadly (or not) I think I'm about done with MMOs.  Not even Guild Wars 2 is doing anything for me.  

  • Too bad Jack Black wasn't the update for Pandaria.

  • panda!

  • Glad to hear it :D

  • haven't played WoW since cata, and this seems like a pretty stupid patch, no PVE content? no new raids? bet the high lvl guilds will enjoy this patch..
  • Good. A patch was needed.

  • Ok so let me know. As somebody who hasn't ever really played WoW...is it worth getting into now? I know it has been out quite some time. Reply and let me know please lol..
  • And still no respec radio to talk about Mists of Pandaria
