Mists of Pandaria Now Live! A New Frontier Awaits…

For millennia, the continent of Pandaria has remained hidden, veiled from the rest of Azeroth behind a wall of impenetrable mists. Now the fog is lifting just as warships of the Horde and the Alliance clash off the coast of the lost continent. As heroes from both factions venture onto Pandaria’s shores to explore its ancient forests and cloud-ringed mountaintops, they soon make contact with the mysterious denizens that dwell there… heralding the start of a new era of discovery and conflict for all of Azeroth.

World of Warcraft®: Mists of Pandaria™ is now live and available in a store near you! You can also click here to upgrade to the digital version directly through Blizzard. Featuring a new playable race (the pandaren), a new character class (the monk), and an exotic new continent to explore, the new expansion offers a huge variety of content for new and returning players.

Mists of Pandaria is available in a standard edition, Digital Deluxe edition, and retail-exclusive Collector’s Edition. For more information, read the press release, visit the Mists of Pandaria info page, or check out the game guide to learn how to get started on your journey. Returning players might also want to read our recent pre-Mists of Pandaria survival guide to catch up on some of the major changes to classes, talents, and other game systems.

Once you’ve upgraded, level-85 characters will automatically receive a quest pointing the way to Pandaria upon logging into the game. Safe voyage, travelers -- a new world awaits!

Yea, Pandaria is good, but really blizzard get your stuff together and have the bugs worked out before releasing...because i'm tired of paying to play and when i log in i can't because servers are down...I pay you guys to play not to have stuff down...

@Serpentslaye: With previous expansions wow was down much more. With BC, wow had almost two full days of down time immediately after launch. I am very pleased that this has not happened and they have gotten much better and more efficient with new releases. More playing of MoP for me!

This is by far the best thing they have put out in a long time. It turned out to be just what was needed to bring alot of us back.

Down the road, I sure would like to see higher levels have an opportunity to buy/build estates to come back to after quests/adventures. A WOW farming thing that we could customize over the years...

Best run expansion ever: with the pre-buy all I had to do was sign in and do a quest. AND, despite all of the long-time player complaints (I have been playing for years too), Pandaria has greatly exceeded my expectations.

Thanks for getting it right and striking a great balance between the expert players and us part time hackers.

When Goblins from Kezan entered Azeroth recognition of their past was given both in Stranglethorn and Bilgewater Harbour by the companions they travelled through Kezan with. Can I ask please now that Pandarens have left the Wandering Isle that Aysa Cloudsinger (Alliance) and Ji Firepaw (Horde) recognise and acknowledge past Pandarens when we meet them. Call me emotional but it added a good touch for the Goblins and it should for us Pandarens as well to remember our past when we meet our former companions from the starting area.

So far loving this newness, but does the new dungeon loot system start with all dungeons or does it begin only with the new expansion content?

*I deleted the game and all related data and the latest launcher still had crash issues (and a report crash window and send button) when attempting the fresh install.
* Another note, Gatherer add-on worked for me as of 09/25/2012 minus the GathererDB_WoWHead added manually.
*Windows 7 64 bit OS and 64 bit i7-2600k CPU
* both client downloads installed in both 32 bit and 64 bit separately, and at different times.

Computer > Local Disc (C :) > program files > [World of Warcraft] (32 bit files)
Computer > Local Disc (C :) > program files (x86) > [World of Warcraft] (64 bit files) This folder location contains my newest install and has had no issues since then. I was unaware of the two install locations due to using two different downloaded clients, old in 32 bit style and the latest in 64 bit style, creating two installed locations. Hope this helps someone.

I began to have add-on issues beginning with the last 3 patches and decided that a reinstall of the game and add-ons were needed. I logged into battle.net to download client, and had install issues and crashes with client exe launcher. I deleted the game and all related data and the launcher still had crash issues when attempting the fresh install. Back around the Cataclysm expansion the client was in 32 bit style. Current client’s files are in 64 bit style fitting my new rig and OS.
Windows 7 64 bit OS and 64 bit i72600k CPU
The old client release was in 32 bit, followed by 64 bit release beginning around March 2012. Over time this conflicted with manual add-on installs to game files. After deleting both the 32 and 64 bit program folders the newest client download exe file launched with no further issues.
Computer > Local Disc (C :) > program files > [World of Warcraft] (32 bit files)
Computer > Local Disc (C :) > program files (x86) > [World of Warcraft] (64 bit files)
Those having issues with client installing on PC 64 bit systems should delete folders of both 32 bit files and 64 bit files for a clean install to occur. Another note, Gatherer add-on worked for me as of 0925/2012 minus the GathererDB_WoWHead added manually. I’m currently building list of nodes as they are found. Hope this info is useful to someone.

@Chucksbeard: I am so glad I backed up in rar format never need to install just unpack to wherever you want and go all my files are in one place on a separate partition. Pandora exp installs just fine to a backup like this and wow is thankfully not windows files dependent.

ok i'm going to ask this since it just begs to be asked..... WHY do we have to wait until level cap to fly on the new continent AGAIN? seriously guys you'd have thought after the outcry in wrath and cata and being able to fly from the time you could get flying in all the zones pretty much you would have taken the hint and made us able to fly at 85 in pandaria with the purchase of the flight skill.
