An actual question, here:

I know that 'Mists of Pandaria' had some kind of tag in the copyright that meant it was a piece of Software. I don't know much more about it than that though... so I gotta ask.

Has anyone thought that this might turn out to be some kind if Smartphone game, rather than an expansion to WoW? With all the premium apps they're developing, like the Auction House app, and wanting to gain subscribers to some kind of higher-tier Battle.net account on top of Warcraft subscriptions, a bundle that includes a Smartphone Pandaren game with the AH app and whatever else they got would go a long way towards bringing tons of people in to pay that extra $2 a month (or whatever it costs).

There's been all kinds of speculation as to what Mists of Pandaria truly is; the smartphone app possibility has been discussed as well. But we won't know until Blizzard tells us.

In theory, we'll know in less than two weeks. ^_^

I believe that was brought up. The filing also consists of manuals, discs, and things which would coincide with a physical release.

@ Drakkenfyre -

Ah, good point, thank you - I'd forgotten about the physical stuff in the trademark application. So odds are good it's either going to be an expansion or another separate game, and I doubt the latter. ^_^

YOU!

YES, YOU!

STAND STILL, LADDIE!

The theory that I heard that I liked was that perhaps Blizz was doing an electronic version of their card game, like Magic Online. It could tie in well enough with the title.

But I don't know, no way to know until they tell us, really.

BOY.

YOU KISS THAT GIRL.

YOU KISS THAT GIRL THIS INSTANT.

Fuck Im falling down all these speculations ...............

I haven't seen anybody mention the possibility of a fourth Warcraft game. Incredibly, ridiculously unlikely, but it's still something cool to consider.

Unless they have managed to copyright another name without anyone finding out (very unlikely) it's basically come down to either Mists of Pandaria being the next expansion or the next expansion will be unnamed at Blizzcon. There's no way they will announce an expansion name that hasn't been copyrighted and time is running out fast if MoP is not the expansion. I think the non-expansion ideas all seem to be stretches while it being the expansion seems highly likely.

Yeah a WC4 would be amazing of course.
I feel confident that we'll know what it is after Blizzcon. Not too much longer now.

Boy Man God Sh*t?


What? No Phish phans here? =(

I'm about to throw a bathtub through your wall.

Regarding, Phish:

My friends don't charge me to listen to them jam, and they actually write songs, so no, no fans of crappy "prog" rock bands here.

I love prog. Not much of a Phish fan, personally, but Rush? Kansas? Jethro Tull? Sign me up.

Brother, let it be known that I previously imparted my misgivings as to the safety of the steps.
