-'''MPQ''' (short for "'''M'''o'''P'''a'''Q'''", 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 {{mists-inline}} Mists of Pandaria [[expansion]]; although it is used in various other games by [[Blizzard Entertainment]].
+'''MPQ''', or  "'''M'''o'''P'''a'''Q'''" supposedly derived from Mike O'Brien Pack, is a proprietary data archive file format developed by Blizzard Entertainment and used in World of Warcraft.
-With the {{warlords-inline}} Warlords of Draenor ([[NYR]]) expansion, Blizzard will be transitioning to a new proprietary format called [[CASC]] (Content Addressable Storage Container; [[NYR]]).
+For the WoW Warlords of Draenor expansion, MPQ was replaced by the newer [[CASC]] archive format.
