Something else said on the lore Q&A podcast I thought seemed intresting, its been now put forward that Hyjal will start off as it is now in us fighting to free it from Ragni and the forces there.. and later, in a patch, it'll be phased so we see a healed Hyjal.
Intresting. This could mean over the course of the expansion, we're see many zones develop and phase though as the lands healed or updated, some quests gone and replaced with others.
Good one to think on, nothing stagnent.

Just like Icecrown, the DK starting zone and the other phased areas of Wrath.

yes but they were mainly quest/hub based this will be the full zone, plus if the do it right they can phase it perfectly so people from the start see it heal slowly, staying with the phassing and people that do it later will see it in each patch stage sort of thing, will be very god if done just right, and adamsm another DP, what is this 101-102

Icecrown was phased for almost the whole zone; a few sections weren't, but Hyjal and the other Cata zones are just building on top of that.
adamsm another DP, what is this 101-102I had my Id icon for a few weeks. And sorry if I don't like the same one day in and day out heh.

There not talking about quest phasing. There talking about the kind of phasing we saw at the argent grounds. First there was nothing, patch later we saw the backbone of the grounds, patch later it was complete.
Its being said this is how Hyjal will go, as patches change it, so will the zone. And as anyone remembers, certain quests disappeared from the argent ground after each time it phased.
This could be the intent of many zones in azeorth over the course of time, ones that have been heavily hit could see a change in future phasing. The worlds obviously is going to have to change not just in one direction but in another, if the world is going to be healed by these forces fighting against them.

Same thing happened at the Isle as each gate was opened, new quests appeared. I can't see them removing content after all the effort they put into the new zones; I'm betting it's actually phasing and the zone will change as you progress through the quest line to revive the Ancients and take down the Fire lord. If your high level goes back, you'll see the cleansed area, but your lowbies will still see the original version until they catch up.

i in all honesty think the should make a mix of both, those that keep current and play top to all phases will see it change, the patches acting as phasing, while at the same time, the lowbies will see it of old, now as you progress each phase and stay on the "main" few quest lines you will see quests be replaced if youo hadnt done them, with something more up to date, like instead of the title being
"stop the fire lord killing those flowers" (proving a point nothing more, for all i know no such thing exists) to "the fire lord is gone, find Chem x to fix those flowers" still sorta the same just before and after sort of

I get what your saying. The quests evolve with the phasing of the zone. If you did "stop the fire lord killing those flowers" you can't do "the fire lord is gone, find Chem x to fix those flowers" because you already saved them, therefor there's no reason to fix them. However, if you didn't do the first quest, the flowers would be damaged and would therefor need fixing, so you would get to do the second quest.
That would actually be kinda cool.
and plus it would make the game more interesting to see each time, i have lvled 4 toons through to 80 and i hate it, i found the fastest way that was no fun, i found the funnest way that took forever, but if they do this them lvling through will never be the same

Sounds kinda neat. What I want to see would be something like mob attacks every once in awhile (kinda like the HH I suppose), but if you fail, your camp is overrun and you don't get the dailies/quests until you round up enough people to take it back. And the mobs scale to level, lowest 80 obviously, so levelers can take part too.
And if you can't take it for a long time, the mobs retreat, but the quest people don't appear for another two hours or so.

i see the idea, not sure i am sold on it, i can see some flaws, but if it was like a group of 80-85 then a level ? so u had the option of the ? or the mobs killing either will send the other running
"gah i have no more interest in this i am leaving" Buja(?) says
"what do we do now, Buja is dead, we have no leader" the mobs all at once
Buja is a name i pulled out of my....well take ja and replace with t......he is not real that i know of

In the same light, I'm wondering if the entire world is going to be perpetually under reconstruction for the entire expansion, or if they'll slowly complete the projects over the course of time. We all know how long it took them to finish that inn in Westfall...
going on 5 years of the same inn looking like a rock fell though the roof.. to suddenly a brick wall appearing around the area overnight.
