How The Golden Tavern works
A short tour of the site: what is public, what needs an account, and where the guild tools live.
What it is
The Golden Tavern is a place for players and raid teams to find each other and organise for WoW Forever. You can bring your existing group, join a team or start your own. Your team keeps its name, schedule and way of playing, with a larger community around it when you need people or a bit of help.
What you can do without an account
You do not need an account to browse news, read guides, look through public teams or try the Raid Composition tool. Our news cards link directly to Wowhead, so clicking a headline takes you to the original post. Our own guides stay here on the site.
What an account gives you
Creating an account gives you a profile, a place to register your characters and access to the community forum. To apply to teams and join their raids, you also need guild access. Connect your Discord account and complete the server’s access requirements; your profile will show whether you have access.
Once you join a team
You can see the team’s roster, answer raid signups and check the lineup and bench. Raid Leaders and Helpers handle the planning for their own teams. Each team also gets a private space in Discord, where raid signups and team information stay connected to the website.
Private teams
Private teams do not appear in the public listing. You can view them through a valid invitation link or once you are already a member.
