Too far? Probably.
And yet, I have this odd feeling that for a certain breed of World of Warcraft player, it's not too far from the truth. Nonetheless, whatever kind of WoW player you are (aside from, say, lapsed ones), you'll probably be excited to know that the expansion Mists of Pandaria is getting released on teh 25th of September.
If you want to know about Mists, check our past coverage here. Suffice to say, it brings a new race, new locations, and raises the level cap. There'll be a standard version of the game for $59.95, and a super-sexy Collector's Edition for $99.95. Here's what you get in the shiny pack:
-
