I was waiting for this to pop up.

The Cata thread was -so- popular, and helpful. Only natural we have an MoP one.

I am absolutely coming back for MoP. I may come back sooner, but I feel like I need a break from WoW. Still, the allure of my pandaren, draenei Monk, and PokeWoW is too strong. But mostly the Monk.

I remember when the first Faceless in Kalimdor were posted here during the Alpha. They were from Flushflaxor's formus (or something), but I kind of remember them here, or people discusing it here at least o.o

I cannot wait !

Now do you think the Sha will be a entity of a new Old God ?

Definitely, The Sha totally fit the Old God's MO.

Yup and i love the fact that the Pandaren seem to be so peaceful because they had to hold in there anger to prevent the Sha which has basically made them the way they are today.

It could be the Old God that cloaked Pandaria and would help lead up to a major Old God expansion .

*Sigh* Most likely that or N'zoth. Gonna bet the Sha is this new Old God/N'zoths way of trying to corrupt things through hatred and has been pretty unsuccessful until we arrive on the scene.

As right as you probably are kasarax, I still really hope it's not another "OG did it!" moment. Yeah they can certainly have their moments, same with the Legion, but I'd really prefer we started setting up other antagonists that aren't quite so easy to shoe-horn into everything.

I'm sure we'll have some new enemies in MoP (hope so, anyway), but I do think the Old Gods (or one of them, anyway) will show up a lot. The Sha, and definitely with the Mantids. Just screams Old God to me.

I like the fact that there will be a Old God involved (maybe) since it connects it to the rest of the world plus they have been building them up for awhile as the big bad.

I sort of miss the Legion. :

I would agree with this. As much as the Old Gods should probably not be forgotten, I don't really want the Sha connected to them at all. I think it's more interesting if the Sha are some unique phenomenon that is not connected to anything else we've really seen.

I don't see them having a huge scale attack without KJ, Mephistroth or Sargaras himself since they failed the previous times. The Old Gods are a lot different because there home planet is Azeroth.

Maybe...like...the Sha is Azeroth removing all of the nasty essence of hatred and war that has seeped inside of the planet and is now using it against us because we keep making it worse.

Yea...

The question is, of course, why do sha only appear in Pandaria?

Ooh, here's something I just thought of: do we know if any Sha appear on the wandering isle or not? That would confirm whether sha have a connection to Pandaren CULTURE or just the geographic location of PANDARIA.

Or it's connected to the spell the last Emperor used to shroud Pandaria in the mists like the official site hints.

YES! YES! They finally updated the Annual Pass for LA!
I'll be posting MoP stuff during the beta and making videos in spanish for anyone interested
