Blizzard Entertainment is making final preparations for the release of World of Warcraft Season of Discovery on Nov. 30. The upcoming season will come with two significant server changes aimed at improving the player experience.
Firstly, there will be fewer servers available at launch, similar to WoW Classic Hardcore. This change is intended to simplify the process of selecting a server and ensure that players feel confident in their choice. If the Season of Discovery proves to be popular, additional realms will be added as needed.
Secondly, Blizzard will be actively managing realm sizes to maintain a balanced population. While there may still be queues, they are expected to be much shorter compared to the WoW Classic release. This approach aims to prevent the overcrowding of certain realms, which led to underpopulated and eventually dead servers in the past.
Another important change is focused on PvP realms. These servers often experience faction imbalance as players choose races that provide advantages in PvP combat. To address this, Blizzard will closely monitor faction balance on PvP realms and limit faction selection if necessary to maintain a fair playing field.
Overall, these changes are designed to create a healthier and more sustainable environment for Season of Discovery. By discouraging the concentration of players on a few mega realms and ensuring faction balance, Blizzard aims to improve the long-term health of the game. These adjustments should enhance the player experience and contribute to the success of Season of Discovery.
