World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria is now live! You can relive the excitement of the European launch events on September 24 by watching the replay of the Digital Launch Event below, which was broadcast live, connecting events and players across the continent.

Li Li Stormstout has explored all the wonders of the Great Turtle, Shen-zin Su, carefully recording each experience in her personal journal. She has also stored letters from her uncle, Chen, between the journal's worn pages—tales of Chen's high adventures throughout the lands of Azeroth. He departed years ago and wrote often of his exploits, but suddenly and without explanation, the letters ceased.

For millennia, the continent of Pandaria has remained hidden, veiled from the rest of Azeroth behind a wall of impenetrable mists. Now the fog is lifting just as warships of the Horde and the Alliance clash off the coast of the lost continent...

Mists of Pandaria opens up a whole new continent to explore, with new races to meet, and new challenges to undertake. From the Wandering Isle to the treacherous Dread Wastes, there's a whole new land waiting for you. To help make your journey a smooth one, we've compiled enough information to make even a pandaren Lorewalker /dance.

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria is released tonight! How will you mark this momentous occasion? Official Blizzard launch events will be taking place this evening in Paris, London, Madrid, Milan, Moscow, Cologne and Stockholm, and we’d love for you to join us there!

Mists of Pandaria introduces a unique zone unlike anything that World of Warcraft has ever seen. The Vale of Eternal Blossoms is a max-level area that will present players with a randomized series of challenging quests each day. Here to explain this new type of gameplay, and the story behind it, is Quest Designer Craig Amai.

Checking in at item level 496, the first tier of raiding gear players will find in Pandaria is set to wrap you up in an all-new look.

If you can’t make it to one of the official events around Europe, you can still take part in the launch of Mists of Pandaria by tuning in to the free live stream. We call this the ‘Digital Launch Event’ – a show that will bring entertainment and insight from the developers to everyone at home via our YouTube channel, live and direct from our launch events.

In the words of Wrathion, Pandaria is a land of "mystery, history. . . and opportunity." Kun-Lai Summit features all three! We've been exploring the various locations in Pandaria by talking to the designers behind them. Today we've pulled aside Dave 'Fargo' Kosak, World of Warcraft's lead quest designer, to talk about the majesty of Kun-Lai Summit.

In just one week, World of Warcraft players will be able to explore the long-lost continent of Pandaria. If you can’t make it to one of the official launches taking place on the evening of September 24 in Paris, London, Madrid, Milan, Moscow, Cologne and Stockholm, we will be linking events from around Europe and streaming a live show via YouTube.

In the coming months, we're planning an update to Battle.net that will give you more control over your online presence when playing Blizzard games. Soon, World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, and Diablo III players will be able to select "Appear Offline" as one of their Battle.net social-status options (along with Available, Busy, and Away) for those times when they want to wander Azeroth by their lonesome, dominate the galaxy in radio silence, or slay demons in solitude.

The Battle of Theramore, first of many scenarios coming to World of Warcraft, is a story-changing event that will be available to level-85 characters for this week only — the week leading up to the Mists of Pandaria launch on September 25.

You’ve probably heard about the benefits of using a Battle.net Authenticator or Battle.net Mobile Authenticator app by now. But did you know that a few months ago, we introduced a new, optional security measure called Battle.net SMS Protect that works in tandem with the Authenticator to help safeguard your account?

Haven’t yet ventured to the frozen reaches of Northrend? Beginning today, September 19, players will be able to get the original World of Warcraft, The Burning Crusade, and Wrath of the Lich King for only €14.99 as part of the newly upgraded digital Battle Chest, available now on Battle.net.

The heroes of Azeroth have faced down many foes; blazing Elemental Lords freed from titanic prisons, mighty demons from beyond the stars, armies of shambling corpses and even eldritch gods who defy explanation. And yet, there exist only a chosen few equipped to deal with the powerful beast that is. . . Ask CDev.

During our server maintenance this week, the “Power of the Aspects” spell grew more powerful, reducing the health and damage dealt of all enemies in the Dragon Soul raid by 35%. This spell has grown progressively stronger over time to reduce difficulty and make the encounters more accessible. The spell will affect both normal and Heroic difficulties. It will not affect the Raid Finder difficulty.
