On july 22, the classic version of the Mists of Pandaria expansion launched in World of Warcraft

Players are once again invited to explore the mysterious land of Pandaria — considered by many fans to be one of the most atmospheric regions in WoW history.

The update introduces a new playable race — the Pandaren, as well as a unique class — the Monk, which blends martial arts, healing, and agility. As they travel through scenic zones, players will face new threats, engage in conflict, and ultimately choose between the Horde and the Alliance.

Completing the introductory storyline rewards players with an exclusive flying mount, and those who continue their journey will gain access to:
— an increased level cap,
— six new dungeons,
— three raids,
— and a new PvP season.

Meanwhile, fans of the original “vanilla” version can still play on the Classic Era servers.
