We're less than a day away from WoW Classic Season of Mastery!
That means it's time to make your next character - and thanks to Blizzard opening some things early, players are now able to make their Season of Mastery character and reserve their name right from the Battle.net client.
Here's all the latest on how to reserve your Season of Mastery character name ahead of launch, the restrictions, and our final countdown to start time.
LATEST - Counting Down to Season of Mastery
WoW Classic Season of Mastery is now just a matter of hours away - and we can't wait to see it!
With the many gameplay changes and the chance to give Vanilla WoW another go, it's sure to attract plenty of players on launch day.
To get in right from the start, join us as we count down the final hours to the launch of Season of Mastery.
Name Reservations are live!
If you're looking to reserve your name, now is the time! It's going to be available from now until launch day.
It's important to note that you only get one Name Reservation per account - this counts on all servers, too - so make your choice count!
Season of Mastery Name Reservation Time
WoW Classic Season of Mastery name registration will open up at 9pm EST on Thursday, November 11th - and will run all the way to launch day.
That leaves us with only a few hours before it's time, which means it's worth making sure everything is downloaded and updated!
How to Reserve Your Name in Season of Mastery
The World of Warcraft Classic Season of Mastery name reservation will be done similarly to how WoW Classic name registration was done previously - that is through WoW Classic in your Battle.net client. This time, however, there will be a new Seasonal tab for the WoW classic realm selector where youu'll see Season of Mastery.
To be ready, you'll want to log in as soon as possible to make sure no server problems keep you from reserving, as every minute counts when securing the name you'll hear in Discord for the next year.
Season of Mastery Servers
WoW Classic Season of Mastery will have a limited number of servers in comparison to the original WoW Classic launch, though this might expand post-launch depending on player population counts.
These are the Season of Mastery servers that will be available at launch:
Location | Name | Type |

Australia | Lionheart | Normal |
Australia | Swamp of Sorrows | PVP |
US East | Barman Shanker | PVP |
US East | Jom Gabbar | PVP |

Release Date
WoW Classic Season of Mastery will kick off on Tuesday, November 16th.
Players have had the opportunity to feel the content out early however thanks to the Season of Mastery beta - which lets players test with no restrictions.
This has also included generating level 60 characters to try raids as well - and we've seen the chaos of Onyxia and Molten Core plenty across Twitch and YouTube during the beta.
On launch day though, things will get serious, and the grind will be on once servers settle.
With the chaos of a Blizzard launch day firmly in the mind of World of Warcraft veterans, don't be surprised if players don't get the chance to play the game with any regularity until Tuesday night as servers settle and the content is pushed live.
