MPQ (short for "MoPaQ", supposedly derived from Mike O'Brien Pack) is the name of a file extension and type of proprietary data file used by World of Warcraft through the Template:Mists-inline Mists of Pandaria expansion; although it is used in various other games by Blizzard Entertainment.
With the Template:Warlords-inline Warlords of Draenor (NYR) expansion, Blizzard will be transitioning to a new proprietary format called CASC (Content Addressable Storage Container; NYR).
