Blizzard Entertainment, in conjunction with the Pandaren Xpress® chain of quality restaurants, is proud to announce the /panda program!

Imagine you are on an instance run in Maraudon, Dire Maul, or even Blackrock Spire. Two long hours into the dungeon and you suddenly notice the hunter in your group feeding his pet. That triggers a rumbling in your belly, which reminds you that you haven't eaten anything all day! How can you satisfy your craving without abandoning your group?! Before, there was nothing for you to do but suffer in hunger. Now, thanks to Pandaren Xpress®, creators of low-priced gourmet meals, you no longer have to leave the group for a food break. In less time than it takes your party's casters to regain mana (even less if you don't have a mage), you can order Chinese take-out from the comfort of your chair! No more tedious walking over to the telephone! No more arduous pushing of unfamiliar phone numbers!

Simply type "/panda" in the game, and a GM will take your food order through the use of our innovative in-game Pandaren Xpress® menu. Within minutes, a Pandaren Xpress® delivery person will arrive at your door with a veritable feast!

With each /panda order, you will also receive an in-game Pandaren Fortune Cookie! The Pandaren Fortune Cookie not only tells you a fortune, but it also gives your player a random 30-minute buff (or debuff)!

Enjoy, and see you in Azeroth with a delicious carton of Pandaren Xpress®! Click here to download a Pandaren Xpress promotional wallpaper!


I love how both SoE and Blizzard are taking pot shots at each other. Very entertaining.

Be sure to remember what today is...

I assumed it was an April Fool's joke, but I'm actually surprised that some of the big chain's haven't thought about interfacing with a MMO like this

when you walk into a tavern, and hit up a vendor, you could actually order stuff that'd be delivered to your door


heh

could you then go to a tavern in game and order up a few shots of Don? and have it delivered to your house as well?
