Blizzard has revealed their plans to launch WoW Classic Phase 2 content and features for this week, beginning November 11.

News of the schedule was first confirmed during BlizzCon 2019, with a brief announcement made alongside the Shadowlands reveal.

Parts of Phase 2 have already gone live, such as the Dire Maul Dungeon being opened on October 15.

Other content was held back, with Blizzard deciding to delay the launch of the Azuregos and Kazzak spawns.

But this week will see the final WoW Classic Phase 2 content go live, including much-requested features from fans.

Blizzard has also warned that the WoW Classic Phase 2 release is being spread across the week, meaning we won’t get everything at the same time.

This process starts today, November 11, with the dev team updating the Free Character Move service.

Some Realms will see restrictions put in place, while others will still permit transfers for a time.

But Blizzard has warned that this feature could be removed at any time, making today the best time to sort your plans.

These changes are ongoing, and this latest update will likely have gone through when reading this article.

“Free Character Moves from all realms to Sul’thraze (Brazil), and Loatheb (Mexico) will be closed at this time,” a message from Blizzard reveals.

“Free Character Moves will no longer be available from Atiesh, Benediction, or Yojamba (Australia).

“We strongly suggest that any players planning to use a Free Character Move do so as soon as possible. Free Character Moves may be disabled without warning at any time.”

This first part of the WoW Classic launch will be completed relatively quickly and the second should get underway on Tuesday, November 12.

This part is crucial to the whole process and means there could be some disruption to gameplay. Blizzard has confirmed that they will not be launching the World Bosses until all Realms are back to a single-layer.

This is to avoid any duplication when fighting the World Bosses, as they’re supposed to be tackled as a singular threat.

WoW Classic maintenance will signal the start of the layering process, which should start at around 3pm in the UK. Disruption is expected, and players may be left queuing again for a short time.

“With scheduled weekly maintenance beginning at 7:00 a.m. PST on Tuesday, all WoW Classic realms will be set to a single-layer,” a message from Blizzard explains.

“We expect some realms listed above to experience long queues after this step. We especially encourage players on Arugal, Faerlina, Herod, and Whitemane to use the Free Character Move service to avoid excessive queues.”

As mentioned above, this needs to go smoothly so that the launch of WoW Classic Phase 2 can be completed on Thursday, November 14.

This is the day when the World Bosses and PvP Honor System will be added to the game through a new update. No scheduled downtime is expected on Thursday, and this new content should be available by the evening of November 14.

Blizzard says they are aiming to have the new Azuregos and Kazzak spawns available by 7pm in the UK.

“At 11:00 a.m. PST on Thursday, the update will occur for all realms in this region,” a message from Blizzard adds.

“The PvP Honor system will come online, and it will become possible for Azuregos and Kazzak to spawn.”

WoW Classic was one of the more minor announcements made during BlizzCon, with most of the news reserved for World of WarCraft. Shadowlands was confirmed as the next major expansion for the game, with a big cinematic showing the fall of the Lich King.

The WoW Classic Phase 2 release scheduled should be completed by Friday, November 15, for all players.
