Pandaren Xpress, straight from Azeroth to your home! (just click the link,I couldn't recreate the page here...)



Also, they've redone the WoW PvP system. Now, you play Warcraft III.

You've all seen the sneak-peek articles of the upcoming Player vs. Player Battlegrounds system in our recent web previews. We're now taking Battlegrounds in an entirely new direction. Many players noted that the Battlegrounds resemble some aspects of Warcraft 3. Then it hit us; Why reinvent the wheel? Why waste resources on a project we've already developed and perfected?

The completely redesigned (and yet still very familiar) Battlegrounds system will allow us to better focus our efforts on creating game features that players really want, such as ordering various types of food in-game! You can see a preview of some upcoming intense Battleground PvP combat™ here.

We will continue to refine the implementation of this system over the coming year(s). You can view initial test gameplay screenshots of the Player vs. Player combat system below:

Heh, that's pretty cool.

[OB1]

Haha!

I write about this in the Starcraft 2 thread and does anybody care? no, ABF makes a thread for it and suddenly it's like OMGBBQ!

April 1, 2005: Today, Dark Lord Neo showed actual emotion. I believe it was anger.

[A Black Falcon]

Because I posted more than a link, I bet. :)

Why don't they make delivery boys dress like this?

It would sure eliminate any delays in food delivery, with extreme prejudice!

[Smoke]

That's awesome.

When Blizzard announce Starcraft 2 they should do it on April 1st.

[A Black Falcon]

Yeah. :)

... hey, they've had April Fools jokes come true before...

[OB1]

Like what?

[A Black Falcon]

The Pandaren unit, of course!

[Dark Jaguar]

Well actually the joke was that it was an entire race. They only had the unit added due to popularity.

The joke that came true in it's ENTIRETY was the one about the gobling alchemist riding an ogre. The other one about a two-headed ogre playable race (with two players controlling one body) didn't come true at all, but that would be hilarious.

[A Black Falcon]

Who knows, they could add a two-headed ogre playable race to WoW... :)

And sure, the Pandaren joke was about a race, but adding a Pandaren unit... it made the joke true! Yeah, it was because of how popular the Pandarens got... but still, it's pretty awesome that Blizz is cool enough to add a unit to their game just because an April Fools Day joke became really popular.

I still want the expansion pack, World of Warcraft: Revenge of the Pandaren.

In the end they get drunk and forget what they were getting revenge for.

[alien space marine]

I bet we would see classes like Brewmeister and Drunken Boxer!

It would be weird to have a gauntlet glass , No swords,No clubs or anything like that , Just bare knuckles and fist the most would be a Gauntlet.



I bet they would add kegging and beer making as a job class too!

[A Black Falcon]

Yeah... Pandarens and Two-Headed Ogres. Fun! :)

[Dark Jaguar]

Hey only the Brewmasters drink!

...

Seriously, why not a geomancer?

I'll just leave this here.

[Great Rumbler]

Whelp, WoW had a good run.

[A Black Falcon]

Playable Pandarens in WoW sounds pretty cool. :) And they started as an April Fools' joke, too...

[Dark Jaguar]

Huh.... So they've pretty much given up taking the story seriously at this point? What's left for Warcraft 4?
