You never know you're in the good old days until they're gone

[ericwu]

Never have I heard such music, from western composers who wield the melodies of East with such respect and elegance! As a student of traditional Chinese music arts, Blizzard, you have all my salutes. Feel proud about what you have accomplished!

[saschastriker]

Am I the only one who thinks that MoP had literally the best music in WoWs history

[andersgormsen]

"Our backs are hardened by the whips of the mogu. Our arms are powerful from building their fortresses. Our minds are sharp from working alongside our enemy. You think the mogu are stronger? I say we are their strength!"
- Kang, Fist of First Dawn

[SchubertAloysius]

When MOP came, so many players were discouraging me from playing it, they said it was such a crappy installation about some "panda" and all. I thought to myself " well i need to get the loremaster achievement so im gonna just hafta do it".I tell you at the end of the MOP quest, i got shocked! MOP took me by storm! It went beyond my expectations! When i heard about WOD expansion, my heart sank because i fell in love with MOP so much! I miss the zones, i miss the quests i did with Li Li, Chen Stormstout and etc! I am however a bit puzzled as to why Pandaren faction didn't play significant roles in legion!Shado-Pan is such an elite class worthy of acolytes!

[BowserisOK]

Say what you will about MoP but if there's two things that I freaking love about this expansion are

1. The fucking music. Epic and peaceful. And speaking of peace..

2. Before and after the expansion. A continent undiscovered was unexposed from our constant war. And even when we came here and ravage their homeland, we are capable of learning from our mistakes, just like their deceased emperor did. With Garrosh dead and WoD ended, whenever I'm tired from raids, dungeons, and doing profession jobs, I always come back to Pandaria. A continent that has experienced war and still retain its peaceful nature. A continent that is made for everyone who wants to get away from war. A continent where people can finally do the thing we always wanted to do..relax.

MoP was a good expansion.

Then 5.2 launched.

Then MoP was the best expansion.

My childhood right there. Forever in my heart Pandaria

[shamicentertainment]

song makes me sad when I realise 2012 was nearly 10 years ago. To anyone from the future where 2012 is more then 10 years ago, please shut up. I know..

[theendryu]

You have the eyes of the one... who travelled much

[josefkolar]

This is the BEST WoW soundtrack ever!!!

[asterioskaz]

2:35 "People of Pandaria" Shaohao proclaimed "You are not yet ready to face the storm that comes for you ... And I ... Cannot stop it. But you will weather this storm and many more. For I will give you the time to learn the lessons that I have learned"

[nwillson]

0:43 - 1:02 is so good it’s unbelievable

[SmileAndTheWorldSmilesWithU]

To paraphrase someone else, "Not a game I once played, but a life I once lived."
*wipes tears*
I miss you greatly, MOP. Take rest where you belong, in the past, unaltered by anything.

[karankenZ]

I always imagine a forsaken rogue, giving up his old ways to become a mistweaver monk. He finds it extremely hard to nurture life with his CHi since he himself is an undead. This whole theme has him doing his training, going through immense pain and suffering, facing his demons with his atrocities committed in his life and undeath. Eventually becoming at peace with himself at 2:35 and also has a montage of him learning the martial arts and eventually ends with him bringing a dead flower back to life with his mistweaver healing.

[Sidiax]

This is genuinely one of the best pieces of music composed for a game or movie ever.

[lc]

The way of the monk is the bare hand fighting style that was developed by Kang when he was enslaved in order to fight back against the Mogul oppressors. The history of the races and the story of these people are so well kept and deep, it's hard to convey to non-lore people why wow stood out from the rest of the MMO out there (well raiding maybe).

[drakoeninaldren]

Anybody make a monk just because of this music?

[vincerosario]

My favorite piece of music in WoW. WoD has some great tracks but IMHO they don't have anything memorable that really lifts your soul and fills your heart like this one. 

[RatchildUK]

Flame me all you want guys but MoP is easily my favourite expac.

Gave me Monk which I love to death, had an amazing story, continent and soundtrack. Lich King is still the coolest/best expac boss though.


I'm not a raider so whatever was wrong on that front didn't effect me in any way.
