How to fix WoW Classic not launching

There are typically huge issues whenever new content launches in WoW Classic, and that's exactly what happened with the launch of Season of Discovery. There's really not anything you can do on your end except wait out the storm. If the game doesn't launch, try closing the client and reopening it.

If you do get into the game, the best thing you can do is wait in whatever queue there is and hope for the best. If the game itself isn't launching, you'll want to check the Battle.net launcher, where you'll typically be informed of any sort of maintenance.

How to get into WoW Classic Season of Discovery servers

To enter the WoW Classic Season of Discovery servers, the source of all the errors, you'll want to launch the WoW Classic server, change your server to Seasonal, and then pick one of the available options. You'll have the choice between RP, PvE, and PvP servers, so make sure you pick what you want.

If you get put into a queue, it's important to wait it out because leaving it will reset your position. Even if the estimated time is low, you might find yourself waiting far longer than that. It's frustrating for sure, but if you got the game to launch and you're in a queue, you made it far further than a lot of other people did.
