Your Forever guild starts before the game does

Forever launches on 4 November 2026 and its first raids open on 9 December. The guilds raiding that week are being built now. Create yours, pick its ruleset, and start recruiting before anybody can log in.

Create your guild or browse Forever guilds. No credit card. Sign in with Discord, and your raiders sign up from a button in your server without ever visiting the site.

The four dates that decide everything

Five weeks separate launch from any raid existing. What a guild does with them is most of the difference between raiding on 9 December and still recruiting.

Forever has no realms. It has rulesets.

Everybody shares one world. Instead of picking a server you pick a gameplay style — and Blizzard has confirmed cross-ruleset grouping is not supported. You party, run dungeons and raid only with people who chose the same one, which makes this the single decision a guild cannot afford to get wrong.

Hardcore arrives after launch, and Forever’s Hardcore is not the same thing as Classic Hardcore, which is its own version with its own realms.

Questions people are asking about Forever

When does World of Warcraft: Forever launch?

Forever launches globally on 4 November 2026 at 3:00pm PST, with beta running since 17 September. Its first raids — the Barrow Deeps at 10 players and Hyjal Summit at 20 — unlock on 9 December 2026. Blizzard has announced Hardcore and a revamped iconic raid as post-launch content without giving dates.

Does WoW Forever have realms?

No. Forever is realmless: everybody shares one world, and instead of picking a server you pick a ruleset. Four are live — Normal, PvP, Roleplay and Roleplay PvP — with Hardcore arriving after. The choice matters more than a realm ever did, because Blizzard has confirmed cross-ruleset grouping is not supported: you can only party, run dungeons and raid with people who chose the same ruleset as you.

Can I set up a guild for WoW Forever before launch?

Yes. You can create a guild on Forever today, choose its ruleset, and publish a recruitment listing that players can find and apply to — weeks before anybody can log in. The conversation continues in Discord.

What raid sizes does WoW Forever use?

All three sizes, opening together on 9 December 2026: the Barrow Deeps, a maximum-level 10-player raid with eight bosses; Hyjal Summit, 20 players and thirteen bosses; and Onyxia’s Lair at 40, behind the Drakefire Amulet attunement. All three are planned to reset weekly. Twenty is not new to Classic — Zul’Gurub and Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj were both 20-player raids — but their comps predate Forever’s talent revamp, so treat them as a starting point.

Does Raidify support WoW Forever?

Guild setup and recruitment work today, along with raid sign-ups, the Discord bot, group planning and assignments. The in-game addon runs on Forever too — invites, groups, boss jobs, attendance and a built-in loot council. Armory roster sync and Warcraft Logs integration wait on Blizzard and WCL adding Forever support, and raid and loot data for Forever’s own instances follows the first raids on 9 December.

How do I find a WoW Forever guild to join?

Raidify’s guild finder lists Forever guilds by ruleset, region, raid style and the nights they raid. Ruleset is a hard filter rather than a preference, because a guild on a different ruleset is one you cannot group with at all. Applying takes a Discord sign-in, and the conversation moves to the guild’s own Discord from there.

Recruiting starts before the servers do

Publish a listing and players searching for a Forever guild can find you by ruleset, raid style and the nights you actually raid.
