WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 2 release date and start time

With the WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 2 release date of February 8, 2024, fast approaching, players are eager to try out the new challenges and items. Two decades after the release of the original, World of Warcraft Classic still captures the charm of the milestone MMO in its heyday. Season of Discovery, as the name implies, stuck to this idea of discovery, originally launching without a prior Public Test Realm.

Following in the footsteps of the first phase, Season of Discovery Phase 2 will provide even more new content. This includes a new level cap at 40 (up from 25 in Phase 1), a new PvP zone, and a brand-new raid in the capital city of the gnomes.

While all of these expand the breadth of content in WoW Classic, Blizzard Entertainment's policy change regarding gold-bidding in raids could potentially spell the end for GDKP runs.
