Quote:Simple: They won't. It's an impossible process to do without instancing. In which case, this feature will almost certainly make it into instances, but not the outerworld. No way.
I haven't seen some of the other examples they mention in the article, but I have done the Death Knight starting experience, and there is *something* going on there.
You start in Archerus and complete a few quests there. Then you get sent out of Archerus to Death's Breach where the Scourge is at war with the Scarlet Crusade. The battleground is the town of Havenshire. After completing a series of quests, you return to Ebon Hold. When you return to Death's Breach, Havenshire has been overrun and the front lines of the battle have moved to New Avalon. Once you've completed the DK starting experience, the entire area is plagued, and the Archerus you return to to visit trainers is not the same as the one you start in.
It isn't instanced, but I suspect players at one stage of the starting area are seperate from players in the other part. How that translates on to the ongoing game world - well that will be interesting to see.
