Here's some more information about the Season of Discovery from the Press Kit.

Blizzard Logo

Azeroth has long been a world of possibility, filled with dangerous enemies, lands to explore, and denizens to aid. It can be as tumultuous as it is thrilling, and higher risks come with the promise of high reward. World of Warcraft® Classic invites players to return to Azeroth once again and begin a new journey...with a twist. In Season of Discovery, players will start a fresh adventure where exploration and experimentation will be key to unlocking new abilities for their characters. Classic dungeons and world player-versus-player events will give players a chance to test their newly acquired abilities as they traverse the world searching for more things to discover.

  • A WORLD OF POSSIBILTY – Hidden throughout Azeroth, special runes will be discoverable that augment player kits in new and interesting ways by providing access to abilities never before available in WoW Classic. Some runes will be in plain sight, others will be tucked away, and a few will require teamwork to access.
  • EXPERIMENTATION WITH NO FRICTION – Rune engraving will allow players to apply and remove abilities at will as they experiment with different builds to create a truly unique play experience.
  • A NEW APPROACH TO ENDGAME – Season of Discovery will start with an initial level cap of 25 and will be incrementally increased over time offering a more progressive endgame experience that will shift with each level band as new abilities become available for players during level-up.
  • CLASSIC DUNGEONS REIMAGINED – Each phase’s level cap will provide new content for players to experience, starting with the level 25 Blackfathom Deeps 10-man raid: formerly a level-up 5-player dungeon, it has been reworked with redesigned boss encounters to offer exciting challenges that will put players’ builds to the test.
  • TEST YOUR METTLE AGAINST OTHERS – For players more interested in testing their builds and skills against others, there will be an outdoor world player-versus-player (PvP) event in Ashenvale. Additionally, the Honor system and Battlegrounds will be available from day one.

      Blizzard have detailed additional improvements they've made to the Ashenvale PvP experience, with a focus on everyone getting reputation for killing Lieutenants, mounts coming in at Friendly and the event lasting twice as long.
      Ashenvale (Source)
      The following changes are now live:
      When a character makes any hostile action against an opposing faction Lieutenant (e.g. Keepers of the Grove, Blademasters) or faction leader in the various objective areas, they will receive reputation when that enemy dies. It must be an offensive action (harmful spell, harmful ability, melee attack, or ranged attack) against an enemy to receive reputation. This also affects Healers who must use an offensive actions against the Lieutenant or faction leader. Characters will receive reputation even if they are dead or no longer nearby as long as they are still in the zone when the enemy dies. Characters will receive 200 reputation for killing a Lieutenant and all members of the winning faction will receive 200 reputation when the faction leader dies. The winning team will also receive 100 reputation per friendly Lieutenant remaining. Example: If there are two Lieutenants alive when the battle is won, a character will gain 200 reputation plus whatever was earned from defeating objectives plus the 200 reputation from killing the enemy faction leader (assuming the character used an offensive action against the faction leader). The Trainee’s Sentinel Nightsaber and Trainee’s Outrider Wolf now require Friendly reputation with the Silverwing Sentinels and Warsong Outriders respectively (was Honored). Players now have 60 minutes to complete the Ashenvale PvP event (was 30 minutes).

      Part of the Ashenvale improvements are here in SoD, with a Gizzby fix on top!
      December 6 (Source)
      Grizzby will no longer rob you of your extra quest items. Ashenvale PvP The lieutenant and general NPCs in the Season of Discovery Ashenvale PvP event now have much higher health. Generals are now immune to damage until all of their lieutenants have been defeated. While no lieutenants are dead, generals and their nearby allies gain 1000% increased damage. The Horde general’s chain lightning will now hit up to 40 targets.

      Blizzard have shared another update on their eternal conflict with bots and unruly players. They have actioned another almost 200,000 accounts this past month! 
      Bans (Source)
      To provide more transparency on the actions we take against cheating and exploitation, here is an accounting of the number of actions that were taken over the last month, November 2023:
      Total Exploitative WoW Account Actions in November 2023: 197455
      All of these actions were for cheating or exploitation, which primarily result in permanent bans or 6-month suspensions. This number does not include other actions such as those taken on accounts with character name or in-game language violations. We continue to evolve our methods and act against these malicious accounts on a daily basis.

      The very controversial topic of the group finder ever being added to Classic Era/Season of Discovery never really dies, as players just do not see eye to eye on it. Well, however you may feel about it, it does in fact exist in Classic, it's just not functional (yet?). MrGM dug it up and got it to show using a console command, but obviously it's not functional:
