Blizzard Entertainment is giving World of Warcraft Classic<\/em> players an opportunity for a \u201cfresh\u201d server experience with a revamped version of the game called the Season of Mastery<\/em>.<\/p>
While the servers are set to release content in a slightly different fashion than Classic<\/em>, they will come with a combination of quality-of-life adjustments as well as increased difficulties for raids. Blizzard has not yet posted a release date for the new Classic<\/em> servers, but testing for the content is coming faster than you might expect.\u00a0<\/p>
The open beta for the WoW Classic Season of Mastery<\/em> is set to begin next week on Tuesday Oct. 5.<\/p>
With these new test servers, Blizzard will introduce faster leveling, increased resource nodes and spawns, and summoning stones.<\/p>
The quality-of-life improvements are coming to account for the faster release of raids and content phases. While Classic<\/em> originally spanned close to two full years, the Season of Mastery<\/em> is supposed to run about 12 months from start to finish.<\/p>
Additionally, Blizzard is looking to ramp up the difficulty of raids for the updated content. This will include disabling world buffs in raids and increasing boss health pools, among other tweaks.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
