What you get when you sign up

WoW Goldshire Lion's Pride Inn

Creating an account takes a minute and unlocks your profile, the guild tools and, with guild access, teams and raids.

Creating your account

An account gives you your own place in The Golden Tavern. Choose a unique username, enter your email and password, and follow the email verification instructions to finish setting it up. Your username is the name people will recognise around the site.

Your profile and characters

From your profile, you can change your avatar, manage your password and add the characters you play. Each character has its class and specialisation, and you can choose which one is your main. Characters belong to your account, so you only need to register them once, even if you play with more than one team.

Forum and guild access

You can use the community forum and save raid compositions with your account. Applying to teams and joining raids also requires guild access. To get that set up, connect your Discord account and complete the server’s access requirements. Your profile shows your current access, and staff can help in Discord if something is missing.

Joining a team

Once you have access, you can apply to a team or accept an invitation. Your Teams is where you will find your memberships, pending invitations and team notifications. After joining, you can answer raid signups and see what your team is planning.

Running a team

If you want to run a team yourself, you can apply through “Become a Raid Leader” on the Raid Leaders page. You do not need to become a leader to join a team or take part in the community.
