Maybe they'll turn them into Furbolgs or some other bear like race from the Wow-lore. After all, it wouldn't be the first time chinese wow gets this kind of treatment because of their government deem it unfit for their citizens.
Didn't Samwise sketch out a Chinese panda years (2003?) before Kung Fu panda came out in 2008? It might have even been the inspiration for the movie, heh... Haven't WoW nerds been crying for a Pandarian race since WoW was in Alpha?
I may be buying GW2 as well. Not much to lose considering it's free monthly. That aside, I still really enjoy WoW and I have some coworkers that I play it with. While I may play some GW2, I'll also be playing WoW
