WoW Classic announces the official start of Season of Mastery servers on November 16

October 28, 2021 2:00 PM

It looks like the Season of Mastery over in WoW Classic is starting sooner rather than later. The official site has just updated announcing that the new seasonal event servers for the harder version of the vanilla game will be open for business on November 16th, allowing everyone to take part in the accelerated leveling, severely beefed-up raids with no world buffs, and a faster set of content rollouts (although that one won’t be visible on launch day.

Wonder if anything else is happening that week. Anyone got an idea?

Of course, all of the race for temporary glory means that you’ll need to act fast to ensure that your character is the only one known as LootPanda; otherwise you’ll have to settle for LewtPanda and everyone will think you’re a fool. Fortunately, name reservations are opening up on November 11th, with one character slot available for creation (you can make more characters once the servers fully launch on November 16th). Check out the full announcement for more details.

Activision-Blizzard is considered a controversial company in the MMO and gaming space owing to a long string of scandals over the last few years, including the Blitzchung boycott, mass layoffs, labor disputes, and executive pay fiasco. In the summer of 2021, the company was sued by the state of California for fostering a work environment riddled with sexual harassment and discrimination, the disastrous corporate response to which has further compounded Blizzard’s ongoing pipeline issues and the widespread perception that its online games are in decline. As of fall 2021, multiple state and federal agencies are currently investigating the company.
