Those responsible for advertising World of Warcraft have hit on some crazy ideas.

This week, Blizzard debuted its first TV ads for Mists of Pandaria. As I'm writing this, I've just watched them air live on Monday Night Football.

New Mists of Pandaria TV commercials

We're getting serious now. Blizzard just announced that Mists of Pandaria has not one, but two TV trailers. You can see them on the official site or over on YouTube. With our arrival on the shores of Pandaria a mere sixteen days away, things are starting to feel serious as the battle between Horde and Alliance gets set to heat all the way up to eleven. Yes, I mixed a ton of metaphors up just then.

It's open warfare between Alliance and Horde in Mists of Pandaria, World of Warcraft's next expansion. Jump into five new levels with new talents and class mechanics, try the new monk class, and create a pandaren character to ally with either Horde or Alliance. Look for expansion basics in our Mists FAQ, or dig into our spring press event coverage for more details!
