Aggrend also confirmed new Season of Classic later this year. It won’t be called Season of Mastery.
With hardcore coming later this summer I guess the season would start late autumn/early winter. November seems most likely like the previous season.
It’s good it’s not Season of Mastery. It is regarded as worse version compared to 2019 Classic.

If you think those small changes to Season of Mastery were bad, just wait when they actually put in the effort to make more changes to the game.

Well, they did make a few good changes, although some of them were made way post-launch. And that’s the point of Season - you have no-changes on Era and a wicked take on Season.
Back to school or later. If it will also be shorter it will probably end somewhere on or after Cata Classic. According to the schedule, we should expect the next retail expansion by the end of 2024. Cata probably before the summer 2024 release.
If its not som2 , it means they working on classic + or new fresh servers
No, it doesn’t mean either, it’s a new season but they didn’t announce the theme.

I tried to get into SoM but the idea that the servers had a known expiration date killed it for me. It felt like I was wasting my time.
I’ll be sticking to HC servers and I’m pretty sure this new season will fail just as hard as the previous one.
I don’t think the concept is good but I see some people enjoy it so w/e, to each his own.

But after the end you transfer to a server without an expiration date. What’s the problem here?
My bet is that new season is a new wave of progression realms from Vanilla to WotLK.
Yes but did you keep playing those toons? I only did because I could move them to TBC.
This time there won’t be a new expansion to transfer them to.
Yes this would be a good move from Blizz.
Unfortunately I didn’t play WOW at that time. I don’t have such toons.
There will be new expansion - Cataclysm.
Really? What an odd idea 
I’m not 100% sure but what else could happen to Wrath of The Lich King Classic after ICC.
Some are speculating that the new Season of Classic will be a progression through vanilla + tbc + wotlk.
So I guess the current WotLK servers would just shut down.
What will happen to the characters currently on WOTLK servers? I don’t think Blizzard will just delete them. If there won’t be Cataclysm Classic, then there should be permanent WOTLK server for those characters.
They’d most probably offer free transfers to SoC after a few months I’d imagine.
But who knows, we’ll just have to wait and see.
What is SoC?
Season of Classic, the new name of Season of Mastery.
And I left mine behind because could not go to Era server. So we are so different. Free move anywhere YES!
Why not? If I remember correctly you could go to TBC for free or go to Era for a small fee.
ps: actually I vaguely remember being outraged by the fee to Era so maybe it wasn’t that small,
No, this is not the new name. Aggrend did not reveal the new name. He confirmed it’s not Season of Mastery. So what could it be?
Season of (Class) Balance
Season of (PVP) Heroism
Any guesses?
