What separates Eternal realm from Seasonal realm other than seasonal starting from scratch? Did I miss the section of patch notes detailing the seasonal mechanics?
The seasonal mechanic is on the lighter side this time because of the massive overhaul they did to itemization. Essentially it comes down to a reputation grind for rewards, and a few minor things.
Seasonal themes are never in the patch notes, they have their own section.
Avalon also made a great post:
Feel free to play on the Eternal Realm as some are opting to do though, or wait until S5 as others are planning to do. Up to you.
Omitting because apparently I offended the OP, my bad.

Uh thank you for confirming that I have autonomy. /s
I didn’t need permission or authorization to do whatever I want to do with my life.
And I was going to genuinely thank you for the info, but I didn’t like how you were like, “Do w/e bro–up to you if you wanna play Eternal or not.” Yeah, no duh. There was no hidden message in my OP.
Boy, that escalated quickly.

Apologies for letting you know the general consensus of the forums. My bad.

Indeed. What can I say? I call people out.
Anyway, I found this on WoWHead for what S4 basically is:
-
New Season Questline: Call of the Wolves
-
New Season Reputation: Wolf’s Honor
-
New Battle Pass and Season Journey
That’s pretty lame, IMO, but that’s off-topic. This can be closed now. I wish I knew how.
You missed alot more than that.
ARPG’s commonly have seasons that have new themes and gear along with the majority of players.
Eternal realm is basically ghost town compared to season players.
Man this forum never disappoints.

But, why stir the pot with post like this?

What are you replying to exactly? If you’re bringing new info, please specify what you’re directing it towards because the thread is asking “What exactly is S4”, followed by asking specifically about seasonal mechanics and differences between the realms for S4. We can establish that of course there are differences in population size because that is well known. That’s stating the obvious.
I am familiar with seasonal content, as I’ve played many games throughout my life.
It was hard to get what your original post was about, so I covered the general big concept.
Google " Diablo IV Season 4 theme "

Seems to me that season 4 is really about trying out all the changes made, Structuring balance around those changes, And maybe coming up with a season 5 theme to align with all changes present, and future.

Yeah, cant wait to try the new systems 
- Playing a different class/playstyle, like any seasons!
They are full wiping the servers and we have to do everything all over again. Even Eternal servers are full wiped, RIP.
Collecting shrines is fun tho so meh and we have to full complete the campaign again 
Blizzard did that in D3 several times. They do some major rework, add some game mechanic and call that a “theme”. It’s not a theme. s4 has no theme.
