Tigole on the forums, Essence of Immortals quest line trashed.

essence-no-more.jpg Apologies that this update is coming so late but we pulled the Essence of Immortal quest chain about 2 weeks ago. That’s why you haven’t seen it on the Public Test Realm. The 3 gates will open automatically over time at equal intervals on all servers.

Regarding the taking back of the town on the Isle, however, that will still be dependent on completion of daily quests. Servers can race to see who can open their quest hub the fastest. But access to raid bosses has been made equal.

We really like the concept of cross-server competition. But the concept of the gates being tied to specific boss kills was not playing out as we had hoped. We plan to do future things that involve servers competing with one another through major events. (src)

Long story short folks this item/quest chain is gone for good. It makes sense though. If your server has people regularly going through SSC and TK and have Vashj and Kael on farm then it’s not such a big deal as the quest drop to continually bring down the gates is not going to be much of an issue.

However, on the other side of the coin this concept pretty much kills any chance of other servers being able to access Kil’jaden without Blizzard help before the expansion comes out.
