In Blizzard's latest World of Warcraft 2024 schedule, the future of the Explore Season Server has been confirmed. However, unfortunately, the end point of the Quest Season Server has been determined to be level 60, and it is unknown whether it will be reincarnated indefinitely or open a new server after that. At this point, the Exploration Season Server is inconsistent with the Plus Server previously rumored on the Internet: Warcraft Parallel Universe, Level 70, new plot, etc.
Here's the progress of the Quest Season Server:
P1 Level 25 Dark Abyss Ashvale Battlefield November 2023
P2 Level 40 Nomorigen Thorn Valley Battlefield January-February 2024
P3 Level 50 Spring 2024
P4 Level 60 Summer 2024
P5 Level 60 Fall 2024
In addition to the identified Nomorigan, the Scarlet Abbey may be used as a new group book for the P3 phase, and Blizzard has also made a new group book "Karazan's Crypt", which will be launched at an unknown time.
In a previous interview, Blizzard said that the Molten Heart, Blackwing's Lair, Angela Temple, and Naxxramas are the symbols of World of Warcraft and cannot be removed, and players also want to show their strength in these classic dungeons, with the help of new skills and new dungeons, let Big Screw see who is the boss. Foreign media speculate that in addition to P5, there may be a P6 stage next fall, focusing on some classic group books of the 60s. But it has not been determined whether or when they will all be open.
Foreign media also asked whether new class suits would be made on the basis of the old T1-T3 according to the class changes, such as the mage's healing set, the warlock's tank set, etc., and Blizzard gave a positive answer.
In other news, the Quest Season server released a new balance hotfix on December 21st, strengthening Node and Darkherd.
- Rage cost for Druids has been reduced from 15 to 10 for cuts and Rage cost for lacerations has been reduced from 20 to 15.
- Shadow Word: Increases the damage of extinguishing by 103% and increases the additional damage increase of mana by 50%.
In addition, the "Classic Hardcore Server" of the Exploration Season Server will be launched in February next year in the "Personal Survival Mode", following the Season Server P2 and the Lich King Nostalgia PTR. Here's a brief introduction, "Personal Survival Mode" is an enhanced version of the One Life mode, and it is also a gameplay that has gone through some SF practice, specifically that the player character is completely self-reliant before level 60, and cannot trade, cannot use email (nor can you send an email to your own account), and cannot use the auction house. This game is quite difficult, and it is unknown whether there is an exclusive reward for the full level.
About the Quest Season Server:
The Exploration Season Server, also known as the World of Warcraft Plus Server, is a Warcraft reboot project that integrates multiple versions of Blizzard's resources, introducing a rune system on the basis of Classic 60, and overhauling the professional skills and gameplay (for example, mages can milk, warlocks can tan). The P1 stage is capped at level 25, and only one group book is opened.
