New Mount Hyjal Daily Quest Hub

Zarhym
There are plans for a new daily quest hub in Mount Hyjal to be released in conjunction with the Firelands raid. We're planning to make it phase and unlock more content as players progress, very similar to Isle of Quel'Danas. One downside of the phasing and unlocking of new buildings/quests there though, was that you had to be participating during the world event to actually see the change take place. We'd like to make the Mount Hyjal hub phase per player so that your personal progress unlocks new content for you, rather than for your whole realm.
We'll have more details about that a little later though.

I am all for it, the phasing does not bother me much for solo quests. Now if it is stuff I need a group to complete, that would suck.

Excellent. So EVERYBODY, even the most casual player, will get to experience that content fully, instead of just a selected amount able to log in on release day and subsequently play the most.
That's the best way to do it for a Theme Park MMORPG. Until a MMORPG with a really dynamic world is released, of course.

I like the idea of phasing each player through the content for the storyline experience. I just wish they had a "mentoring" program or something where folks who have already phased past said content could jump into the phase of the group and play through quests and such with lower-level friends.

What do the first two 'm's in mmorpg stand for again? Blizzard appears to have forgotten.

Until they refine their system, the situation Blizzard presents to us is either you have everyone on the same phase but newer players miss good chunks of story/gameplay or you have multiple phases where everyone can experience story/content but not everyone is in the same phase.
Lets be honest, the vast majority of players play the 1-85 game solo unless they are in an instance or BG. While it is not perfect, I prefer the phasing over missing out on content and story.
