Blizzard recently unveiled the new patch notes for 1.0.5 and Mists of Pandaria sells 700,000 copies.
Diablo III 1.0.5 Key Features:
New System: Monster Power
The monster power is a new difficulty setting that allows you to adjust the power of your enemies. The more difficult the minions of hell are, the more XP and gold they will drop. Or you can make the monsters less difficult but they will not grant as much XP or drop as much gold in return
New Event: Infernal Machine
Fight a boss from sanctuary that will be harder than they usually are on inferno difficulty.

Two new shrines: Empowered Shrine and Fleeting Shrine
The Empowered Shrine increases resource generation and reduces cooldowns.
The Fleeting Shrine increases your movement speed and increases your pickup radius.

Barbarians are greatly buffed in the patch.
The cast time is decreased for identifying items by one second
Chance for legendary and set items to drop is doubled
