Welp, I’m back to Pandaria. Re-reading my old blog for tips, lol.
Also guess I’m back to the archives for tagging. What interesting timing – I was just yearning for a return to decentralized social blogging over consolidated, commercialized social media.
Edit:
Ok just played through character creation! From what I’ve read, this is basically OP alt levelling and when the event ends, they will transfer to normal realms all levelled up!
You can play allied races. You can even (maybe?) play a Dracthyr. It says one per account. My husband is trying that this weekend when we play. He’s going to delete the one he has 2 levels into the starting zone. Given how insane MoP is with heights, I think it will be hilarious. Imagine soar from Mount Neverist – he might hit Timelost Isle or the island with the T-Rex.
Wonder if they’ve tested that… Better make sure there is some handling when people hit the map edges!
I’ve decided to play a Pandarian, though it’s priestess yet again! I’m thinking:
1. Would be nice to get panda heritage armor
2. I already know how to priest all of this, so it will be easy
3. I fall off stuff a lot, so bouncy will get value. And Pandaria has a LOT of stuff to fall off (aren’t there even some raid mechanics which this will mitigate damage for?)
4. Stardew Valley chef dreams. Pandaria actually has exciting cooking mechanics and one of the panda racials doubles food buffs
5. CC for PvP. MoP is an amazing PVP expansion and this is an OP trait.
a little bit of everything all of the time 
I figured I’d respond to your question about whether I’d seen MoP Remix here, since I couldn’t find your comment on the other post (I saw it in an e-mail telling me about your comment).
I heard about that from friends who are still playing. It sounds like fun, but what I really miss from MoP (aside from particular socialconnections of the time), are the systems–class design and 10 person heroic (now mythic) raiding. I really liked the class design from that period and I thought 10 person raiding was more fun than 25 (or 20)…I prefer small groups generally. Plus it’s a nightmare these days (well, the last time I raided was about a year ago) to gather 20+ reliable people into a guild who are good enough and a nice enough personality fit.
So while the announced features look fun and there would be some nostalgia for me, it wasn’t enough to make me re-subscribe. Maybe if Classic MoP ever shows up!
Sorry, this got flagged as spam because it went through three times. Jetpack bug maybe.
I agree 100% about the raiding. It’s where I have ally best memories from raiding. I haven’t done much of it now that the sizes are bigger. Guilds have fallen apart or become a churn of membership or have incredibly demanding rules to get involved. Cata and MoP were my sweet spots for raiding. I started feeling myself liking it less in WoD.
