[Quiet Man Cometh]

Will I get shot if I say that when I firt saw the ad for Pandaria I actually thought it was a new Kung Fu Panda movie? I missed the first bit of the ad that said otherwise.

I've never played WoW but I've been thinking about it on and off. Part of it was my school work (I was determined at the time to avoid online RPGs) and my lack of funds, since I wanted to play a blood elf and that would require (I believe) the first expansion. Not sure how it all works now though. I like the panda thing, even if I find it a big hard to take fully seriously because of Kung Fu Panda and the fact that Eden Eternal has bear races that I've played. I assume one would have to buy the base game. How many of the expansions would one need to get to play something like Pandaria?
