As the World of Warcraft welcomes the year of 2012, the Mist of Pandaria was proudly introduced to the world. Such news had kept almost all social media and online game forums trending with this WOW bold move, as many would describe it. Positive and negative views have been shared for almost a month now since the prestigious BlizzConn 2011 was held.
Skepticism held the minds of both fanatics and foes of Blizzard Entertainment’s flag ship franchise. Many even laughed at such move of introducing the story of Kung Fu Panda’s Po into the gaming world renowned realm of Azeroth. Surely, Po is a cute and cuddly character as these new race of Pandarens are seen, but with such character on deck, the flag ship would definitely sink to the depths of the online game ocean filled with sharks. Critics have called the BlizzConn 2011 as April Fool’s day when it reached to the topic of the new expansion. But for the developers of the franchise, this bold move and new character race are well thought and developed seriously that would make you eat your accusing words at the end of the game’s amazing adventure.
Blizzard Entertainment’s lead developer Chris Metzen shares that these cuddly Pandas are not to be taken lightly as such race play a vital role and pivotal climax to the whole franchise’s future stories to come. In fact the Pandarens’ race have been quite integrated into the lore and history of Azeroth. The Isles of Pandaria would give rise to vital facts of the World of Warcraft as the story of Azeroth starts to heat up.
The creation of every Pandaren was scrutinized carefully with graphics being developed for almost five years before revealing that perfect image of the race that would bring a new wave and adventure to the story of the World of Warcraft. The franchise’s developers have thought all these things through and seriously as a person would treat a heart attack. In fact, the negative and joke criticisms thrown over the new expansion has amused the developers and they see it as a positive feedback.
As people start sharing their concerns over the new franchise, it gets to show how well loved the game of World of Warcraft is. So, Blizzard Entertainment developers tell you to hold off all judgments until you play and finish the game yourself by the second quarter of 2012. Truth be told, Metzen believes that this expansion would be the best one that would hit the World of Warcraft and would keep it reining over the other online games in the world. Trust the game as it trust that you would give justice to it as you play along the race of Pandarens within the adventures set out of you in the World of Warcraft of Mist of Pandaria.
