(It's more about just ramping up the conflict. When players get Pandaria the box or the digital download or whatever and they go in there there won't be very strong Horde or Alliance influence in the continent. They'll see a lot of Pandas, they'll see a few Night Elves and Tauren and those but they won't have big established bases or the kind of things we saw in Northrend,) says Street.
(Over time, say with our first major content patch, now both sides have established a bulwark and they're starting to build up and then maybe in the second patch there's a big open battleground where the Pandas are kind of caught in the middle of this big conflict between Horde and Alliance.)
(We did a little bit in Wrath of the Lich King where we introduced this whole new quest hub with the trial of the crusader and then again in Cataclysm with the molten front. It makes it feel like things are changing over time even though it's not a gradual change, it's just that the patch comes and then one day and now there's all this new stuff there.)
