Exactly, in the same way that Pandarans from Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (2003) are a clone of Kung Fu Panda (2008). I don't know how Blizzard so consistently rips off the future.

You cannot play as a newbie in any of the Frozen Throne DOTA games. They literally kick you out the rooms once they see that you do not have any match records on your IP. Really tough to break in.

>> ^Crosswords:

Pandarans have been part of the lore since WarCraft III, and people have been wondering when they'd be implemented in World of Warcraft for years. So while it may seem like they're trying to do some cheap cash in on kung-fu panda, hell maybe they are, but its not like players who have any sense of the lore didn't expect they'd show up at some point.


Yeah. It sorta makes sense that they are available for both races (though it may smack of laziness to some people), since they were neutral heroes (lore-wise and in-game) to begin with in Frozen Throne.

I've been done with WoW since the release of Cata so I feel nothing but indifference towards it, but the original EQ is on expansion #17; so I suspect WoW will certainly continue for awhile if it's comparative success is anything to go by.

I'm glad they at least added a new class.
