What is the point of Battle for Mount Hyjal

It's a "time pocket" if you will. There's no intended link to the Infinite Dragonflight or their dastardly deeds of altered timeways, and you're not literally interacting with history. It's simply a way for players to experience some of the larger moments in Warcraft history, and admittedly the Mount Hyjal instance isn't really linked to the world for any rhyme or reason. The timeway presented itself, it's an amazing opportunity to be there and experience such a major event, and Archimonde drops phat purples.

Q u o t e:


Ok, so by that reasoning, wouldn't BM and DK just be "time pockets" that have no real bearing on history also? I mean, they're in the same place, controlled by the same faction....

>_>

The Caverns of Time are a strange and complex place, and I don't suspect we will ever be able to fully understand the complex goings on inside them.
