All Races Available in Patch 5.0.4

All Races Available in Patch 5.0.4

With the release of patch 5.0.4, we’re making all the races of Azeroth playable by anyone, no matter which version or expansion of World of Warcraft they own. This includes the enigmatic pandaren, who will become available for play when Mists of Pandaria is released on Tuesday, September 25. We want the entire World of Warcraft community to be able to embrace their inner goblin, blood elf, worgen, draenei, or pandaren from the moment they step foot into the world of Azeroth.

Now, the only hard part will be choosing a name. Who will you be next?

Just because the Panderean race is available to everyone doesnt mean that you are getting everything. There is going to be some many other things that come with the game that the race being available to everyone isnt going to matter. you're forgetting that ppl that dont buy the game cant go to the new area or do any of the new quests. they are just giving you a sneak peak at what you could have if you buy the game. doesnt take a genius to figure that out

If everyone's going to be provided with Pandas, what was the point in my buying the actual expansion? If it's going to be like that I wont be buying them in the future, too.

@Xëro: Wouldn't it be funny if you could make a panda, but cant play them cause you can't enter the zone without buying it? XDXD

@Xëro: Guess what I just very recently started playing WoW, like within the past month. Therefore, there is no reason for you to be rude and call my comment an idiot one. There should be welcoming responses that explain things, not degrading ones like you inserted. I didn't understand. Thanks for explaining, jackass.

@Ipwnduall: Yes, when it releases on September, anyone can play pandas. I'm guessing a bunch of trial pandas will be running around too.

@Beastmasterx: I had the same problem yesterday. Rather, my shortcut showed up as the 'file not found' icon. Had to remove that and put in a new shortcut. It took a couple tries til it worked, but everything is A-ok now.
