Canada has been left off the list of countries in which Blizzard intends to have its global launch celebrating the upcoming release of World of Warcraft?: Mists of Pandaria?.??? Disappointed?? yes?but according to WOWWiki.com?Canada grouped into ?North America/United States??ranks as the number two countries that play World Of Warcraft (stats approximate and taken in late 2011) at 3 million even at a 60/40 split Canada would still has 1.2 million players which would put it in 3rd rank above the UK.??? So why is Canada being left out of the global launch parties being held by Blizzard?? with even the United stats?having only one city being part of the launch party it seems like a low key event.

Features include a new playable race (the pandaren) with its own starting zone and quests, a new character class (the monk), and an expansive new continent for players to explore as they adventure to the new level cap of 90.
