What you get when you sign up
Creating an account takes a minute and unlocks your profile, the guild tools and, with guild access, teams and raids.
Creating the account
Use the sign-in page, pick email and password, and choose a username. Usernames are unique, so yours is yours alone. You confirm the address by email before the first sign-in.
Your profile
After signing in you get your own page: username, avatar, alias, main character, class, specialisation and preferred raid role. You can change your password there as well. Your avatar and username follow you across navigation, rosters, applications and raid planning.
Your characters
Alts belong to your account rather than to a single team, so you register a character once and it is available everywhere you are planned in.
Guild access
Applying to teams and joining raids requires guild access, which the owner or an admin grants. Without it you can still read everything public, keep a profile and register characters.
Roles
Member is the starting point. Raid leader lets you create and run teams, helper assists a specific team, and admin and owner manage members, roles and editorial work. Roles are stored separately from profiles and can only be changed by the owner or an admin.

How we publish: sources and review
Every article carries a source, provisional findings stay labelled, and no draft is published without a person approving it.
