World of WarcraftRemix: Mists of Pandaria has a direct connection to the story of Dragonflight via the Infinite Dragons. In many ways, this new World of Warcraft PvE event is a continuation of the Bronze Reconciliation questline from Dragonflight Patch 10.1.7.
Recently, World of Warcraft announced Remix: Mists of Pandaria. During this limited-time event, players can make new characters to experience almost all of Mists of Pandaria at an accelerated rate, unlocking new cosmetics and mounts along the way.
However, this new way to play World of Warcraft is more than just a throwback to the 2012 expansion. WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria recently hit the Public Test Realm, meaning players can check it out for themselves now. While WoW fan and lore expert Portergauge was testing the new feature, he noticed something interesting: the Mists of Pandaria Remix features a canon story about the Bronze and Infinite Dragons from World of Warcraft. He chronicled the starting experience on Twitter, which stars Eternus and her splinter faction of Infinite Dragons as she tries to share the lessons she learned from Nozdormu during the Bronze Reconciliation quest in Patch 10.1.7.
During the intro scenario, Eternus explains the purpose of WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria is reflection, and to see if the tragedies of the past serve any purpose. She does not fully believe in the True Timeline as the Bronze Dragons in World of Warcraft do, but she and her allies seek to see things from their own perspective. That said, not all the Infinite Dragonflight is on her side, and the player must fend off these malcontents from interfering with Eternus’ work.
Once players help set up Eternus’ base of operations, they are rewarded with a special cloak that grows in power as they do. After a cryptic encounter with some Time elementals, fans are then dropped off on their respective faction airships in the Mists of Pandaria intro scenario, where they dive into the plot of the World of Warcraft expansion proper.
Needless to say, fans are intrigued by the clever tie-in to the Infinite Dragonflight through this PvE event. It remains to be seen if there will be any further developments to this story beyond this short scenario, but it certainly sets up World of Warcraft to explore the Infinites with other Remix events later on. Either way, with Infinite Dragon NPCs selling items and offering game services across every Mists of Pandaria zone, it seems like World of Warcraft is letting players truly work with the Infinites for the first time in this event.
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight was developed by Blizzard Entertainment and is the ninth expansion pack for the iconic massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft.

World of Warcraft recently made the new Earthen Allied Race playable in The War Within Alpha, revealing their racial traits, Paladin mount, and Shaman totems. The new abilities are not only powerful but both flavorful and ground-breaking in how World of Warcraft designed them.
World of Warcraft is seemingly adding another method to get the Tusks of Mannoroth, one of the rarest transmog items in the game’s history. If two newly discovered items are any indication, World of Warcraft players may be able to collect the cosmetic using a bad luck protection system of some kind.
Some World of Warcraft fans think the apparent August 19 end date for WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria might coincide with the beginning of The War Within Pre-Patch event. If this speculation proves to be true, World of Warcraft players may be able to narrow in on a release window for The War Within itself.
World of Warcraft just announced it would be increasing the maximum number of characters each player could have from 60 to 65 in Dragonflight Patch 10.2.7. According to World of Warcraft developers, this addition was made in direct response to fan feedback.
World of Warcraft recently shared a full preview of the Warbands system coming in The War Within. This alt-friendly feature will allow World of Warcraft players to share tons of things from toon to toon, and makes having multiple characters significantly easier.

World of Warcraft quietly removed a part of the WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria announcement that said it was adding new character slots to each player’s account.

World of Warcraft recently confirmed that the Taivan mount will be returning to his full size soon. Though his sudden shrinking caused no amount of confusion and shock among World of Warcraft players, they can rest easy knowing the good boy will be re-embiggened in Patch 10.2.7.
