Phasing

The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples

World of Warcraft uses Phasing to change the game world. Sometimes this is used to remove game elements, e.g. NPCs that give quests that a player has already completed, and sometimes to update the game world according to where a player is in a quest (an example of this is how Acherus: The Ebon Hold changes depending on where in the death knight quest series a player is).

The design solution in America's Army that one always sees one's own team as being US soldiers and the other team as being enemies is an example of Phasing on a team level.
