That would be cute, but I hope they put little garden hats on them. :dracthyr_heart:

They don’t own the “rights” to bears that have panda coats though. So games with grizzly bears wearing black and white coats will be fine. :dracthyr_nod:

So, Blizzard had to pay China for the rights for pandaren to be in game? Sure, let me know when you come up with a source.

i may have saw something on kin about what i posted years ago but i did find something about this though will fix my post

Original Pandaren in WC3 were made to look more Samurai-ish they had to change it due to more china

I wouldn’t cite Trade Chat as a source, personally.

it was not trade chat more like old wow articles years ago

I don’t think there’d be any issues adding a Panda mount.

Do I think Blizzard would do it? I have no idea. They seem to add things in game based on relevance, popularity, charity events or monetization. A panda mount isn’t relevant and isn’t based on a charitable cause, so it would need to become a popular idea or be associated with the in game store or Prime content.

I will say former connections with Tencent and being relevant in China would have been an obstacle but after the statue toppling and game banning fiasco I don’t think there’s any issues left.

We have panda pets and panda-ish characters. I don’t think an actual panda mount is out of the question.

Basically China REALLY doesn’t like ActiBlizz.

Thank you for linking that. I never heard about any of this.

I’ll just say that I don’t like to see Gorehowl torn apart, but I’m glad that Blizzard might be out of China. I don’t want to get political, suffice it to say, it’s nothing against the people and everything against the CCP.

A mount that looks like a playable race? Can I have a night elf mount?
