Mists of Pandaria Box – Front Cover
Starting with the front cover of the Mists of Pandaria box, we see the Pandaren Monk in a fighting stance with his right paw stretch out. You can see his right eye only, firmly gazing you straight in the face. He’s holding a bamboo stick used as a weapon, all the while looking like the coolest guy in town dressed in his Pandaren Monk robes and hat. At the top the white font reveals “Expansion Pack” while underneath we see the new World of WarCraft Mists of Pandaria logo. One interesting item found on the front is on the bottom right corner, where we see a picture of Deathwing breathing fire with the words “Requires Cataclysm Expansion” over his picture to let gamers know that if they did not buy the most recent expansion, dating back to 2010, they’ll need to buy that one in order to play Mists of Pandaria. This requirement is expanded on in the bottom left corner where the box states “Requires the full version of World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm to play.”

When we peel pack the cover completely we still see the same basic scene on the left side but the main words have changed to say, “… But What’s Worth Fighting For.” This makes the entire phrase which will become central to the story-arc of Mists of Pandaria to be:
The question isn’t why we fight, but what’s worth fighting for.

The right side of the box features four screenshots from the game. At the top there’s a caption that reads “Run dungeons in challenge mode and race against the clock to prove you are the mightiest hero in Azeroth.” The picture next to it shows a standard dungeon party attacking a BAM that has it’s sharp weapon extended out, facing the camera. The picture below that is the largest screenshot that shows a Pandaren fighting some sort of Night Elf that is in mid-drop-kick with a dragon head coming out of the foot heading toward the Pandaren who appears to be in some sort of defensive mode. The caption below the screenshot reads, “Devastate foes with the Monk’s Flying Serpent Kick.” which is one of the Monk’s payoff finishing moves. The bottom left screenshot reveals a band of Goblins surrounding a Draenei, who is mounted on a stallion. Finally, the bottom right screenshot shows off what appears to be some sort of new race of creature that you’ll have to deal with on the new continent with a caption that states, “For ten thousands years the ancient races of Pandaria have hidden in the mists. Will they now prove friends or foes?” with the fish-man holding a large sword out toward the camerashot (looks like a foe to us!).

Overall Impression
The Mists of Pandaria box is wonderfully designed and full of information to get you excited to play the latest expansion pack to World of WarCraft. It’s another job well done for Blizzard Entertainment who always brings the goods when it comes to designing gorgeous packaging for their World of WarCraft expansion packs.
