Mission
From opening the doors to entering the raids
Our mission is to build the guild before the game arrives, experience the launch together and then create raid teams around the people, ambitions and schedules that emerge from that journey.
Internal launch
The Guild Hub opens its doors to the Core Unbuffed team.
- Our new guild tools become available for the first time, giving the team access to onboarding, the Codex, events and the wider Guild Hub.
- Core team members can invite friends and family to join us, explore the platform and take part in the first week of testing.
Testing together
One week to use everything, gather feedback and make sure the foundations are solid.
- We will test the full onboarding journey and the tools we intend to use as a growing guild.
- Direct feedback will help us find and resolve problems and prepare the platform for its public launch.
Public launch
Unbuffed goes public and full guild recruitment begins.
- Our public channels, including YouTube, go live and we begin presenting Unbuffed to the wider Forever community.
- Recruitment opens at scale as we welcome people who want to become part of the guild and the journey ahead.
BlizzCon together
Sharing the moment we have been waiting for.
- We watch the BlizzCon broadcast together live in Discord, talk through the announcements and share the experience as a community.
WoW Forever Beta launches
We will create a guild on the Beta server and start levelling together, exploring the new world and learning as much about it as we can.
First raid signups open
We will start opening signups for our raids, allowing members to express their interest in future raid spots.
Beta levelling and guild build-out
We will enjoy the beta and finalise the setup and structure of the guild ahead of the game's launch.
- Members can find leveling partners and decide together how they want to play when the journey begins.
World of Warcraft Forever launches
Levelling begins with some of us taking time off work to rush to max.
Letting the dust settle
Everyone plays at their own speed to enjoy a unique launch experience.
- Raid invites start going out based on expressed interest and revealed performance.
Raid groups are getting finalised
We will monitor the levelling and gearing speed and finalise the raid groups.
- Preparations intensify for the opening of the raids.
Raids open
Regular raiding operations begin with a potential midnight raid to compete for first kills.
Logs remain private in the first two IDs. Loot will be distributed via loot council.
- Wishlists open and can be submitted until 22 December.
- We then lock in our wishlishts once the loot tables have been revealed.
