Pandas? In MY WoW? It's more likely than you think!

I think this move reeks of desperation, after losing 1 million subscribers they were pulling at straws and an old april fools joke turned into the new expansion. We will see...

They already officially said that they made this move to tap further in to the asian markets. Nothing desperate about that, it's a western developers dream to make a huge impact on the asian markets, simply because of the huge potential and difficulty it requires to achieve such things.

Really? I missed that. I seem to recall their reason given as "it is the single most requested feature by the fans since the launch of WoW". Which it was.
