Over the last few days, there has been a resurgence of interest in the Season of Discovery, a mode that seemed nearly forgotten by many players. Updates and internal testing are underway, and Phase 4 will introduce a Public Test Realm to SoD for the first time. According to Josh Greenfield, WoW Classic Senior Game Producer, the developers aim to release Phase 4 PTR in the “next few days.”
“Alrighty friends, we are ramping up for Season of Discovery PTR, are finishing a few things up, and fixing a few bugs before we go live. Just wanted to give an update before EoD Monday so you know we are still working towards getting it out in the next few days, just need to finish a few things up first.
Looking forward to talking about SoD a whole lot more again over the next few weeks!”

Under the comment section, SoD fans are excited about the promising updates. However, they are also concerned about the game’s current state, particularly the dwindling number of active users. Many fans suggest that developers should consider reintroducing 10-player raids. Given the smaller player base, this change would make it easier for players to form groups with friends and family and enjoy the content the way they like.
Some even propose making all raids soloable, similar to those in MoP Remix. However, this seems unlikely due to the different nature of these modes. Of course, the debate of 10-player, 20-player, and 40-player raids has never come to a conclusion, so fans will have to wait and see how the developers address these issues in the remaining two phases.
That said, the SoD Phase 4 PTR is highly likely to be released this week. Stay tuned for more updates, and let us know your thoughts on the current state of SoD in the comments!
