I didn't see this about the free-to-play thing.
Feels wrong somehow, lol.
And yes - I finally got to finish and see a little bit of the the new Molten Front - which was where I lagged so bad, that I as soon as I logged back in, I could move for 1 sec, then freeze up, have to close wow, try again etc., lol.
I believe you're actually being flagged for PVP some places, even if you're on a PVE server. Sucked big time, because it was hard to just tab between mobs - had to be careful not to hit people, who where just there to do the questline.
And jerks all allround killing people for the very same reason, lol.
As for having to be in a group - I wouldn't say so.
Of course it was day 1, so a lot of other players around, which helped some times, but I believe it's doable alone.
I did have trouble in the water part figuring out, what to do - turns out, you have to find the woman floating around in a little pinky'ish bubble and click on her with this hand icon your mousepointer turns into.
And the last part in Molten Front - pay attention to what the quest text says.
You need to do around 4-5 quests in there in the same area, just in different corners of the world

.
Well I'm done now, so have access to 2 new daylies I Hyjal.
