World of Warcraft’s fourth expansion, Mists of Pandaria, released today and throngs of players are jumping back into Azeroth to explore a brand new panda-filled continent.  Blizzard’s story guru, Chris Metzen, and art director, Chris Robinson, carved out some time to share development reflections with fans as the next chapter of WoW begins.  In addition to recapping the events leading up to MoP, the devs discuss the art direction and the importance of their loyal community.  Wrapping up the video, Chris Metzen explains that while they have a company to run and a product to ship, they are driven by different motives:

“The point is truly engaging people with art, taking people on an adventure, sharing stories and co-dwelling in realms of imagination.”
