With the next patch to the World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria beta, we will be temporarily removing the Jade Forest zone. We’re going to be making improvements to the zone, and want to put the focus of testing on other areas during this time.

As a result, starting with this next beta patch (which is coming soon™), you will find that you are no longer able to enter Jade Forest. If you have any characters that are hanging out in Jade Forest when the zone is disabled, they will be automatically ported out to their hearthstone location. The hearthstone location will be set to the characters’ main city if required. Furthermore, characters that need experience to continue testing will be boosted to the appropriate XP and appropriate quest to continue testing in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.

We expect Jade Forest to be offline for an extended period of time; we’ll provide further details as we progress with our updates to the zone. Thank you for testing Mists of Pandaria! http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/5590648487#1

Valley of the Four Winds (for Horde characters)
Krasarang Wilds (for Alliance characters)

Characters that need experience to continue testing can visit either Orgrimmar or Stormwind. In each faction city, there will be an NPC that provides a quest which will reward enough XP to boost your characters from 85 to 86, as well as send you to Valley of the Four Winds to continue questing from there.

I'm fascinated by this part of the process. I'm itching to know if it's design changes or just phasing/bug issues.

And reading the update I do want to park a premade 85 Alli and Horde toon in Jade Forest to see what this quest will be that will boost the toons from 85 to 86. I mean with my schedule it took 2 and a half days to get through Jade Forest but with this quest it'll probably take maybe 30 to 60 minutes to level.

When talking to him the good ol' captain presents this first text:

With the follow up text being:

But after teleporting you meet his buddy on the other side:

Whose 2 texts aren't so interesting:

Sounds like he should be draenei, not human

Is this the part where you shake your cane? Maybe the Draenei took Captain Placeholder's InterNether Piloting Correspondence Course!
