UNBUFFED

Mission

The road ahead

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.

August 23, 2026

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, the forum, 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.
August 23–29, 2026

Testing together

One week to use everything, gather feedback and make sure the foundation works.

  • 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 Classic+ community.
  • Recruitment opens at scale as we welcome people who want to become part of the guild and the journey ahead.
September 12–13, 2026

BlizzCon together

Sharing the moment we have been waiting for.

  • We plan to watch the BlizzCon broadcast together live in Discord (if that's somehow possible), talk through the announcements and share the experience as a community.
  • We hope this is where World of Warcraft Classic+ is finally announced and our shared journey receives its destination.
On the road to Classic+

Build the community

We will organize community events, discuss anything related to Classic+ and prepare for the game together.

  • Members can find leveling partners and decide together how they want to play when the journey begins.
Classic+ release

Begin the journey

We enter the game together and let real play shape the guild's next structure.

  • As members level, we will see their preferred pace, ambitions, availability and the groups that form naturally.
  • Those experiences will give us the information needed to build raid teams around people who genuinely fit together.
After launch

Build the raid teams

Raid rostering begins within the guild once we know ourselves better.

  • The process will match schedules with ambitions, taking the levelling experience into account.
  • Our goal is to create several compatible teams, from steady and casual groups to ambitious and hardcore progression raids.
  • Once the teams are ready, regular raid operations begin.
