World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classic (sometimes shortened to MoP Classic) is a Classic server option that launched in July 2025 which allows playing content and game mechanics of the 2012 Mists of Pandaria expansion. It will be available during the latter half of the modern The War Within period and the beginning of Midnight. Like prior Classic releases, MoP Classic is similar to its original version, but includes some changes, including significant changes to endgame instance difficulty progression. A Mythic+-like dungeon mode was added, continuing the trend started in Wrath of the Lich King Classic, while Raid Finder mode has been omitted, with its loot shifted to the upgraded dungeons. Minor changes include alts having easier access to flying mount skills and tweaks to Arena healing.
