WoW's expansion design gives them the ability to make the Cataclysm cataclysm go poof.


I'm very interested to see if they will take advantage of this opportunity.


Pretty big expansion imo. Two kind of duds in a row could hurt even Blizz.

What mount does a panda ride? Or do they just run faster if you dangle a cookie in front of them?



In Soviet Russia, Pandas mount you.

If that is the next expansion it makes me even less interested in the game.

How about "World of Warcraft: We Finally Fired Ghostcrawler and are fixing the game. The Expansion."

Well here goes the thing WoW subs are down roughly a million players, 11.1 million according to its latest financial report. Now, when you had 12+ million subs and all of a sudden loose a million subs that is going to show up financially.

Sure the argument could be brought up that it still has 11.1 million subs, still doesn't take away from the fact that for two quarters now, the trend has been a loss in subs, roughly 500k players per quarter. If the trend continues and the average stays the same, by the end of the year that would be 2 million players lost since Catas release. This isn't factoring in possible increase in lost subscriptions once TOR releases.

It is interesting that they may choose to go this route with Pandaren. I know China is very touchy about the Panda being used in any way, shape or form. Will this be a LK type deal where Pandaren will be something entirely different only in China? Like they had to remove all skeletons from WoW for China servers? To me that seems like a huge hassle but /shrug. It is their game.


My thoughts exactly. I believe I heard someone say Pandas were going to be the race the first time around, but it was canned due to China. Hard to say who I remember saying it though... lol.

From what I understand, China will allow the use of Pandas, but you cannot depict a Panda actually being harmed. Which makes me think even moreso that they wouldn't be a playable race in the slightest, though quests might be pretty dull if I don't see any cute pandas in danger. Or something.

Assuming its a WOW expansion. Sprawl's comment about a mobile game got me thinking.

So for China, they'll be bears or some shit, just like how China remodels undead and all skeletons.

I would think it would be easier to put skin on skeletons than change the lore of a particular race. Surely doable though.
