Be still my foolish heart. It seems after years upon years of teases, rumours and speculation the popular and much speculated on Pandaren race may make a more official appearance in World of Warcraft. After appearing in Warcraft III The Frozen Throne the Pandaren have been one of the most popular but mysterious races in Warcraft. It has recently come to light that Blizzard have filed a patent for the title Mists of Pandaria, strongly suggesting the Pandaren may make an appearance soon in the game. Off course this could be a spin off game, or something else entirely, and if it was an expansion for World of Warcraft, as we're quite close to when rumours usually begin circulating for the next expansion as Blizzcon approaches, it might not even include the Pandaren as a playable race.

But still, an exciting snippet of information for WoW and panda fans alike.
