The original version ofWorld of Warcraftlaunched on November 23rd, 2004, and the MMO has evolved from those early days. Today there are modern retail servers for the most recent version of the game, along with those for the popular expansion Wrath of the Lich King, Hardcore, and the newest offering from Blizzard,Season of Discovery.
Season of Discovery is another incarnation of Classic World of Warcraft, and although it takes place in the same setting as Old Azeroth, it has a few interesting twists. Every so often the term “Classic plus” comes up in the gaming community, and so far it seems as if Season of Discovery is based on or inspired by some of those ideas.
What Are The Different Types Of Servers?
There are different kinds of servers in World of Warcraft, no matter what version you’re playing.
These differences are also present on the retail, Hardcore, and Wrath of the Lich King servers along with the ones designated for Season Of Discovery, and determine certain factors that determine what kind of world you want to play.
Normal
This used to be called PvE, or Player versus environment. Players either switch manually to PvP or automatically engage in cross-faction combat.
RP (Roleplaying)
A role-play server in which players focus on acting in character, although these rules are very loosely enforced. The same rules as a Normal server apply to PvP combat.
PvP (Player versus Player)
With few exceptions, every character on a PvP server is a target for a player on the opposite faction. The focus of these servers is player-versus-player combat, and leveling on these servers tends to be more difficult.
RPPVP (Roleplay Player versus Player)
These servers combine PvP plus RP, creating an environment that compels players to interpret their roles in character and the inherent danger that everyone is in while exploring the open world.
The Classic Servers
There arethree tabs under the Realm Selection screen after choosing World of Warcraft Classic. The name of the server is on the left of the screen, followed by the type of server, the number of characters you have on that server, and finally, on the far right, the population level.
Low-population servers have the fewest players, followed by Medium, High, and Full. Locked servers are the only ones that do not allow new characters, including transfers.
The Season Of Discovery Server List
There are eight servers in total designated for the Season of Discovery, and a few are already either full or locked because of the game’s popularity. This is done to stem the tide of new characters to an already crowded server and is often done temporarily or on a rotating basis.
The Mountain Time Zone covers one of the most populous areas of North America and includes the vast area covered by the Rocky Mountains.
That includes the Canadian province of Alberta, the central-western portion of the United States, and portions of northern Mexico. Australian Eastern Daylight Time is used in Canberra, New South Wales, Tasmania, and Victoria.
