To kick off Blizzcon 2011, Blizzard revealed the first trailer, media, and information for the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion, Mists of Pandaria.
The fourth World of Warcraft expansion set, Mists of Pandaria, has been unveiled! Shrouded in fog since the world was sundered more than ten thousand years ago, the ancient realm of Pandaria has remained unspoiled by war. Its lush forests and cloud-ringed mountains are home to a complex ecosystem of indigenous races and exotic creatures -- including the noble and enigmatic pandaren. Will the mists of Pandaria part to reveal the world's salvation… or will the battle to control this new land push the Horde and the Alliance over the brink of war and into total annihilation?
In Mists of Pandaria, players will be able to explore an all-new continent while reaching new heights of power on their way to an increased level cap of 90. In addition, adventurers can choose whether to side with the Horde or the Alliance as World of Warcraft’s first neutral race -- the pandaren -- and master the ways of Pandaria’s ancient martial arts as the all-new monk class.

Also new in the upcoming expansion is the Monk class type.
Pandaren masters have chosen to share their ancient martial arts with young fighters in both the Alliance and Horde. Harnessing their inner strength and potent "chi" energy, Monks are extremely capable in every role: damage, defense, and healing.
Monks are masters of bare-handed combat, choosing to draw their weapons only for devastating finishing moves. Monk healers bring harmony and balance to every group, healing even the most grievous of injuries with ancient remedies and focused spiritual arts. And few can hope to out-last the unquenchable prowess of the Monk Brewmaster, whose empowering beverages and unpredictable combat style allow them to absorb incredible amounts of punishment.

Monk players will be limited to cloth and leather armors, fist weapons, one handed weapons, polearms, and staves. They will be available to the following races: Pandaren, Dwarf, Human, Blood Elf, Tauren, Forsaken, Draenei, Ghome, Night Elf, Orc, and Troll.
The expansion also includes a raised level cap of 90, new zones, pet battle system, and dungeon challenge modes. More information, art, screens, and more can be found at the official Mists of Pandaria website.
