The new season introduces new talents, abilities, and endgame content that progressively levels up right alongside your character. Whether you're a\u00a0WoW\u00a0veteran or completely new to the franchise, this season has a little something for everyone. But one thing remains the same in the new\u00a0Classic\u00a0season: Before you start exploring all of the new content found throughout Azeroth in the Season of Discovery, you have to\u00a0pick a server.\u00a0 Servers, otherwise known as \u201cRealms\u201d in\u00a0WoW\u00a0terminology, are specific corners of the game, each of which is phased specifically and separately. Unlike retail\u00a0WoW Dragonflight,\u00a0where many servers are connected and players from different realms can play with one another,\u00a0Classic\u00a0players don\u2019t have that luxury. What happens on one server, won\u2019t happen on another.\u00a0 If you\u2019re having trouble\u00a0finding Season of Discovery server locations\u00a0within the\u00a0Classic WoW\u00a0client, don\u2019t worry: Getting to where you need to to experience the new content is relatively simple.\u00a0 How to install WoW Season of Discovery The first step in installing Season of Discovery is to\u00a0download and install the Battle.net launcher. You can do that by going to Blizzard's official site, or just\u00a0following this link.\u00a0Once you've installed it, Blizzard asks you to enter your login credentials, including\u00a0email or phone, and your password. Enter the info, and click the Log In button. If you don't own a Battle.net account, you can create it on the official site or by\u00a0using this link.\u00a0You can sign up with your Google Account, Facebook, or even Steam. Once you've properly installed Battle.net, and are logged into your account, you'll see a screen identical to the image below. You want to select the blue\u00a0WoW\u00a0icon to take you to the\u00a0Classic\u00a0version of the game. It's important to note that you\u00a0need to download\u00a0WoW Classic, not\u00a0Dragonflight\u00a0or\u00a0Wrath of the Lich King.\u00a0\u00a0 If you're not seeing WoW Classic in the tab, select the Games button in the upper left corner. This will take you to a different screen, but you can still reach WoW Classic. After you've selected\u00a0WoW Classic, you'll be taken to the screen as in the image below. Select the Install button and wait until Blizzard does its magic and\u00a0WoW Classic\u00a0is on your device. The game's a bit over 2 gigabytes large, and downloading and installing it should be completed in a matter of minutes. To recap, you need to follow these steps to install Season of Discovery: Download and install Battle.net Create a Battle.net account and log into it Select WoW Classic by clicking on the blue Warcraft icons in the upper bar Ensure you're downloading WoW Classic, and not WoTLK nor Dragonflight Click the Install button Wait for the installation to be complete Launch WoW Classic How can you play WoW Season of Discovery? Step-by-step guide To get into the Season of Discovery, fire up\u00a0Classic WoW\u00a0in your Battle.net launcher. Make sure your game edition\u00a0World of Warcraft Classic\u00a0and not\u00a0Wrath of the Lich King Classic.\u00a0 Once you\u2019ve made it into Classic WoW, click the\u00a0Change Realm\u00a0button in the top-right corner of your character select screen. If it\u2019s your first time playing and the game prompts you to make a character before doing anything else, simply press the Back button in the bottom-right corner of the character creation menu. The realm selection screen will feature three tabs on its lowest section. Navigate to the tab that reads\u00a0Seasonal, and select the Realm you and your friends want to play on. Make sure you coordinate with your group where you all want to play, as realm choice is actually very important in\u00a0WoW Classic. There\u2019s no worse feeling than starting to progress some new characters only to have to start over because someone in your friend group picked the wrong server. After you've ticked all these boxes, you get to the fun part\u2014character creation and entering the magical world of Azeroth. To recap, you need to follow these steps to play Season of Discovery: Launch WoW Classic (not Dragonflight nor WoTLK Classic) Open the list of all WoW Classic realms If you haven't played WoW Classic, click the Select Realm button If you've played WoW Classic, change the realm by opening character selection screen and then selecting the Change Realm button Select the desired realm (You can choose between PvP, PvE, and RP-PvP realms) Click \"Okay\" once you've picked the realm you liked Create a new character and select their name Click \"Accept\" and then \"Enter World\" to rediscover Azeroth in Season of Discovery Do I need a WoW subscription to play Classic Season of Discovery? Although you don\u2019t need to purchase any of the WoW games to play the new Classic season, you will need to be subscribed to WoW to jump into the new content. WoW subscriptions cost about $15 per month, depending on how you purchase your game time. When does the WoW Season of Discovery release? WoW Classic's Season of Discovery will go live today, Nov. 30, at 3pm CT. The new season will launch globally, with all servers around the world going live at the same time.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WoW-Classic-bridge.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1048520"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1048520"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1048520\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1049937,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1048520\/revisions\/1049937"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/975656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1048520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1048520"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1048520"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1048520"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1048520"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1048520"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1048520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

The new season introduces new talents, abilities, and endgame content that progressively levels up right alongside your character. Whether you're a\u00a0WoW\u00a0veteran or completely new to the franchise, this season has a little something for everyone. But one thing remains the same in the new\u00a0Classic\u00a0season: Before you start exploring all of the new content found throughout Azeroth in the Season of Discovery, you have to\u00a0pick a server.\u00a0 Servers, otherwise known as \u201cRealms\u201d in\u00a0WoW\u00a0terminology, are specific corners of the game, each of which is phased specifically and separately. Unlike retail\u00a0WoW Dragonflight,\u00a0where many servers are connected and players from different realms can play with one another,\u00a0Classic\u00a0players don\u2019t have that luxury. What happens on one server, won\u2019t happen on another.\u00a0 If you\u2019re having trouble\u00a0finding Season of Discovery server locations\u00a0within the\u00a0Classic WoW\u00a0client, don\u2019t worry: Getting to where you need to to experience the new content is relatively simple.\u00a0 How to install WoW Season of Discovery The first step in installing Season of Discovery is to\u00a0download and install the Battle.net launcher. You can do that by going to Blizzard's official site, or just\u00a0following this link.\u00a0Once you've installed it, Blizzard asks you to enter your login credentials, including\u00a0email or phone, and your password. Enter the info, and click the Log In button. If you don't own a Battle.net account, you can create it on the official site or by\u00a0using this link.\u00a0You can sign up with your Google Account, Facebook, or even Steam. Once you've properly installed Battle.net, and are logged into your account, you'll see a screen identical to the image below. You want to select the blue\u00a0WoW\u00a0icon to take you to the\u00a0Classic\u00a0version of the game. It's important to note that you\u00a0need to download\u00a0WoW Classic, not\u00a0Dragonflight\u00a0or\u00a0Wrath of the Lich King.\u00a0\u00a0 If you're not seeing WoW Classic in the tab, select the Games button in the upper left corner. This will take you to a different screen, but you can still reach WoW Classic. After you've selected\u00a0WoW Classic, you'll be taken to the screen as in the image below. Select the Install button and wait until Blizzard does its magic and\u00a0WoW Classic\u00a0is on your device. The game's a bit over 2 gigabytes large, and downloading and installing it should be completed in a matter of minutes. To recap, you need to follow these steps to install Season of Discovery: Download and install Battle.net Create a Battle.net account and log into it Select WoW Classic by clicking on the blue Warcraft icons in the upper bar Ensure you're downloading WoW Classic, and not WoTLK nor Dragonflight Click the Install button Wait for the installation to be complete Launch WoW Classic How can you play WoW Season of Discovery? Step-by-step guide To get into the Season of Discovery, fire up\u00a0Classic WoW\u00a0in your Battle.net launcher. Make sure your game edition\u00a0World of Warcraft Classic\u00a0and not\u00a0Wrath of the Lich King Classic.\u00a0 Once you\u2019ve made it into Classic WoW, click the\u00a0Change Realm\u00a0button in the top-right corner of your character select screen. If it\u2019s your first time playing and the game prompts you to make a character before doing anything else, simply press the Back button in the bottom-right corner of the character creation menu. The realm selection screen will feature three tabs on its lowest section. Navigate to the tab that reads\u00a0Seasonal, and select the Realm you and your friends want to play on. Make sure you coordinate with your group where you all want to play, as realm choice is actually very important in\u00a0WoW Classic. There\u2019s no worse feeling than starting to progress some new characters only to have to start over because someone in your friend group picked the wrong server. After you've ticked all these boxes, you get to the fun part\u2014character creation and entering the magical world of Azeroth.
