Exactly. I'm actually going to drop a couple, so I have room in the
quest log for the event starter.

I have 8 klaxxi, 5 at the nearby garrison, 3 at ChiJi, 5 at Halfhill,
and 3 at the ship. I'll set the hearthstone in SW, and log out in the
Klaxxi inn.

When I start, it will take only a few seconds to determine if the
xp is worth it - if not, I hearth, and head for WoD. I expect I can
do all the handins in under 10 minutes.

Thats a good point, but with no beta experience, I fully expect to fall
behind those who've been there before anyway.

So, the change is at server midnight?
