Mists of Pandaria start times announced

World of Warcraft's upcoming expansion - Mists of Pandaria - launches next Tuesday and while you'll be able to grab the game (either in a store like JB Hifi or EB Games or online from Blizzard) as soon as the day begins, you won't be able to jump in until a bit later. Fortunately however, Blizzard have let us know exactly when you'll be able to get going.

The game servers go live at Midnight US Pacific Standard Time, which means 7:00PM in New Zealand, 5:00PM on Australia's Eastern Coast, 4:30PM in the hellish centre of the country and 3:00PM on the Western Coast. As you no doubt already know, the Mists of Pandaria expansion introduces the Pandaren race, the Monk class and raises the level cap from 90 to 95.

As with other WoW expansions, the current races and classes will also change and the expansion will also see the inclusion of the new Pokemon stylin' pet battle system. Embedded below is the latest TV trailer for the expansion, which you can also watch in our videos library if you are so inclined. Are you grabbing Mists of Pandaria next Tuesday, or have you already pre-ordered it? Let us know in the comments below!
