Estinien is the most obvious name to drop here. Also, as I'm pretty sure you can do Void Ark without waking Diablos in the Lost City (which is technically the inciting incident), I think we've hit that point already. If the questgiver immunity rule holds true, though, Nero tol Scaeva is stuck outside the Rising Stones until the end days, disguised as a proxy questgiver. My feelings on the subject otherwise are well-publicized.


I'd say they're getting ready to embrace the dark side and take on SWTOR's continuity model, if what's been said about 4.0 is any indicator. FFXI-style continuity lockouts just don't work when you have as many questlines as XIV does, and a need to work between them. At least, I hope so, because MSQ-irrelevant Mhach aside, the "optional" bombs we've gotten on Allag and the Void have to come back at some point. And Phoenix-Egi is just too cool and idea to go unused after the T13 intro scene.
