WoW Season of Discovery has launched! It may sound surprising, but finding your way to a seasonal content realm via the Battle.net launcher can be more challenging than you would expect, especially if you're new to the game. Here's a quick guide about how to get on a Season of Discovery realm.
How to start a specific game is usually not something you would need a guide for. However, for World of Warcraft this can actually be useful, and the reason for that is that there are multiple versions of World of Warcraft available by now, expanded by severe seasonal servers that offer special gameplay mechanics.
So if you're planning to test out WoW's newest seasonal adventure, Season of Discovery, you might find yourself lost in the Battle.net app. But don't worry, we're here to help.
WoW Season of Discovery: Download The Right Data In The Battle.net App
The Battle.net app will show you three World of Warcraft games that you can install:
- World of Warcraft
- World of Warcraft Classic
- Wrath of the Lich King Classic
The Season of Discovery is part of the World of Warcraft Classic package (highlighted in green in the screenshot above) – so make sure to download this game data.
Be aware that the Battle.net app might be unstable during the launch. If that's the case for you, we've collected some tips to solve Battle.net connection issues here.
How To Enter A WoW Season of Discovery Realm
As soon as you downloaded the game data, click the Play button to enter World of Warcraft Classic. After a successful login, you'll end up in a realm selection window. On the bottom of that window, you should be able to select the Season of Discovery realms in a "Seasonal" tab, as soon as they are online.
And that's pretty much it! Since the Season of Discovery is now live, you can create a new character and delve into the World of Warcraft under its special SoD conditions. Have fun!
