As opposed to it looking like a real anthropomorphic panda? :lol:

That was damned funny.

Hahaha. There's just something about them that doesn't suspend my disbelief.

That's probably because you're noting the difference between realistic pandas, and panda-creatures with realism involved in their design. A realistic panda does not look like a member of the Pandaren race, but one with an oddly large head lacks realism, and that's what's flagging it for you, I think. Personally I don't think the heads look weird, but that's just me.

Hellooooo, dailies!

In MoP, tabards no longer grant faction rep, so you can't dungeon-crawl your way to exalted.

That said, the currency for faction gear will be VPs, not gold. Hellloooo, dungeons!

Interesting. I never was a fan of the tabard except it was a background way to get rep. I always thought it should be through quests/killing important bosses. That seems to make more sense.

We now have a release date: Sept. 25.

Mark your calendars, folks.

Pandas on my birthday! Woooooo!

Hm... Less than 1 month after Guild Wars 2 comes out... coincidence?

People would find a coincidence if it launched a year after GW2. They've got to release it some time.

I'm wondering if they're going to give people an incentive to keep playing beyond just "pay a subscription to play", like getting SC2:HotS with the second annual sub.

Well, the first annual sub (if you bought in as soon as it was announced) is up in September, I believe, right? So yeah, the timing certainly could fit.

Bundling a bunch of playtime with the expansion would be another.

So they are charging $20 more for a mount, pet, d3 banner, and sc2 portraits. That sounds like quite a deal, not!

If they were smart, it would include a month of play. And beta access to HotS and d3 expansion or titan. (though who the f*ck knows what the hell is up with titan anyways? vaporware?)

I suppose one thing that matters to what gets bundled with what is all the data that shows what people play, what proportion of people who play SC2 also play WoW, how much they play, etc.

On second thoughts with the bundled playtime, that seems like something they could skip because who's going to buy an expansion without planning to pay for subs themselves for a while afterwards, but I get the feeling WoW is getting to the stage where they need to sweeten the deal to keep people around, but perhaps there is a natural fall-off they can't prevent and would cut their own throat trying to.

Given that people have repeatedly shown a willingness to pay $25 for a mount and $10 or $15 for a pet, I can't help but think they're shortchanging themselves by not charging $30+ more and throwing in the soundtrack.

Anyone have a Scroll of Resurrection available to send? Looking to play a bit more prior to the expansion's launch.

PM me.

Engineering in Mists FTW.

Bring me ore and I'll be happy to make all of this stuff for whoever wants it. And you'll want it. Oh, yes.

Nice. Now I want to play again just so I can get my hunter's engineering up before the expansion hits. Does anyone have a Scroll of Resurrection to spare?

Pm me for a scroll.

So i finally got around to finishing leveling my priest up to 85.

As with my other characters i was planning on using a couple pvp pieces to use as soon as i hit 85. Except this time around when i went to buy them i got a message stating that i needed around 7500 honor points total in this season. Season? 7500? isnt there a 4k cap on honor? W.T.F?

When did this happen? Just because i've not played this guy on a regular basis since Burning Crusade i'm being punished? This is f*cking annoying and beyond belief.

Yo ran, you still playing that game? I will be glad to get back in and do some arenas if you're up for it. Let me know

Ooh me me me! I want to send someone a scroll!

One of those annoying things Blizz did after Cataclysm was released. I guess they don't want people gearing up so fast

yes,kinda,not really... who knows...

Im having a problem with way too many games right now. I'm definitely going to try GW2. I jump into SWTOR for my pvp fix every now and then. I'm almost done with the main story line in TSW. DayZ has taken its toll on me as well. On top of that i'm in 2 other betas that i'm enjoying. I have soem buddies playing WoW and talking shop with them kinda got me in the mood so i finished the 1.5 levels on my priest. Million dollar question will be do i start up MoP when it launches or wait... Honestly dont know yet.

We completed Stay Classy last night which unlocked the 8th bank tab. Feel fee to fill it with leather scraps for all your Monk alts.

/slow clap

Credit to team, the lot of you.

Still haven't signed up for pencon, but credit to team nonetheless.

Hey, I was able to use my battle.net balance to preorder Mists of Pandaria. Nifty.

I'm well spamming now, but if anyone wants to send me a Scroll of Resurrection for the weekend, it would be most welcome! =)

The email is moander at the google mail thingy. Free mount for you!

Only if you add 30 days of game time. So add 30 days of game time already!

Thanks BadKen! Will do. I doubt it'll take in the long term but I can at least sub up for a month.

Appreciate it.
