WoW Forever
Run a World of Warcraft: Forever guild on CoGM: characters from Battle.net, raid signups with soft reserves, DKP, loot auctions in Discord, and the Guild Bank.
WoW Forever is live on CoGM and launched in game on November 4, 2026. For dates and common guild questions, see the WoW Forever page. To plan a build, open the talent calculator.
Set up your guild
Create a community and add a guild with World of Warcraft: Forever as its game. The setup page asks for your faction, region and ruleset, the member role, your main raid size and loot rule, and adds the event templates. Row by row: WoW Forever Setup Guide.

Characters
Members link Battle.net on their account settings or in the claim dialog, then pick their characters from the list on the guild's Members page, with no names to type. Characters are checked on Battle.net for level, class, spec and gear, whether picked from the list or typed (a typed one once the guild's Battle.net region is set). Battle.net lists a character from level 10 and after it logs out, and can take 20 to 40 minutes to list a new or renamed one; then press Refresh list in your account settings. Characters CoGM checked on Battle.net refresh once a day while you play, and about once a week after 30 days away, and /wow refresh in Discord updates them right away once the guild's Battle.net region is set. Guild officers set the guild's Battle.net region in Settings → Game.
Under level 10, or would rather not link? Members run /upload in Discord with a screenshot of their character panel (press C in game). The bot reads the name, level, class and the stats pane, and saves them to that character, or adds the character if it is new. If the stats pane scrolls, add the rest in file2 and file3, or upload again within the hour.
Typed claims still work. Forever names have a first and a last name, unique per region, so enter both, then the ruleset, faction, race, class and spec.
The roster ranks members by verified item levels only. An item level counts as verified when Battle.net checked it or the CoGM addon imported it, and the addon is still in development. An item level typed on a claim is marked self-reported until the addon or Battle.net checks it: it shows on the roster and the profile, but it does not count toward the rank. Until at least one member has a verified item level, the roster ranks by level instead.
/profile and /gear show a member's character card, and /members lists each member's main. A character checked on Battle.net shows its Battle.net picture, gear and stats on the card and on its profile page, and its Battle.net gear lists missing enchants and gems. When the guild keeps gear private, the picture and stats are hidden the same way. Officers can /remind members whose upload is old.
Make a different character your main with Make main next to it: under Also plays in your row on the roster, on your community member page, or on the character's profile.
Unclaim or remove a character by deleting it. Press Delete next to a character under Also plays in your row, or Delete character in your row for your main; your member page has Delete too. The character, its stats and its history come off the roster, and it can't be undone. Delete your main and you'll have no main until you pick one. If you have other characters there, your roster row shows the next one first. Officers delete someone else's character with /delete-character. More in Alts.
Raid signups and soft reserves
Post raids and dungeons from your templates. Members sign up in Discord or on the dashboard and pick a Tank, Healer or DPS seat. On Pro, officers place raiders into groups with the party builder.
On a raid with the soft reserve rule, each raider enters their picks on the event page, up to the number the officers set. Everyone can see the reserve list. Raids on loot council or MS > OS show that rule on the event instead. The loot rule is free; soft reserves are on Pro.
Attendance
For a raid you posted, record attendance on its event page: switch on voice tracking for the event, mark members present, or use Import from Signups.
/attendance in Discord records everyone in the raid's voice channel. An officer in the channel picks one of your templates. If a raid you posted started in the last few hours (or starts within half an hour) and has no attendance yet, the bot asks first: record the channel into that raid, or start a separate session named after the template. Recording into the raid pays its rewards once, and anyone already marked present on it is not paid again. A separate session pays everyone a second time, including the template's DKP reward if it has one. A raid that tracks voice pays its own attendance when tracking ends, so the bot warns you and only offers a separate session.
DKP
DKP is on Pro. Give an event or template a DKP reward, and marking attendance pays everyone marked present. Voice rewards can also pay DKP for time spent in voice. Officers add or take away points for one member, record item wins, and apply decay, and every change goes in the ledger.
Decay can run by hand or on a schedule. Pick a percentage and a floor: every balance above the floor loses that share, never going below it. Automatic decay runs every day, weekly, every 2 weeks or monthly, once per period.
In Discord, /dkp balance, /dkp standings and /dkp history show balances and the ledger. Officers use /dkp adjust for one member or /dkp award for everyone in a voice channel. See DKP.
Loot auctions
Loot auctions are on Pro. Officers start an auction in Discord with /auction start: up to 5 items, each in its own post while Main spec and Off spec bid tiers are on (the default), open or sealed bids, a minimum bid and step, an optional buyout for open auctions, and anti-snipe so late bids push the end. /auction bulk starts up to 25 items from a typed list. Save the settings you use as a preset.
Members bid with the buttons on the post. On auctions of 10 minutes or more, the bot DMs you when someone outbids you, with a button to bid again. Live raid lots are 90 seconds, so the winner gets one results summary instead. /auction status shows what you can bid: your balance, what is held in open bids, and what is left. Officers also have handover, award, reverse, relist and a recorded roll-off.
Members keep wishlists of the items they want, also on Pro. See Loot.
Gargul and SimulationCraft
If your guild runs loot with the Gargul addon, CoGM reads what Gargul exports and writes what it imports, so you keep Gargul in the raid and the records on CoGM. Neither needs the CoGM addon. Both boxes are on the Loot page's Addon tab, for officers who manage DKP.
- Import loot history. In Gargul's exporter, pick the TMB format and the raid dates. In WLC, type /wlc export tmb. Any addon with a That's My BIS loot export works too. Copy the text and paste it into the box. Each award marks the winner's wishlist item obtained, and an award to a player named "Guild Bank" goes into the Guild Bank. It never charges DKP: adjust DKP on the DKP page. Names match with or without a realm, and a first name alone matches when only one character in the guild has it. Pasting the same awards again adds nothing.
- Copy for Gargul. Turns the picked raid's soft reserves and the guild's wishlist order into text Gargul imports. Paste the soft reserves into Gargul's soft reserve import and the wishlist order into its TMB import. Each name carries its P1 to P5 rating. It changes nothing on CoGM.
Members can also fill in their gear with SimulationCraft. Run /simc in game, copy all of it, and paste it into Import Gear on the character. Only the slots in the profile change. The profile's name has to match the character.
Guild Bank
The Guild Bank is on Pro. It tracks the guild's gold and the items in the bank, sorted by category. Officers set a price per item in gold, in DKP, or free. Members request what they need, an officer approves and hands it over in game, and any price comes off then. /bank search finds an item from Discord.
See Guild Bank.
Looking for Group
On every plan, members post groups with /lfg or the Discord panel: the nine new dungeons by level, the classic dungeons, battlegrounds, and the Barrow Deeps, Hyjal Summit and Onyxia's Lair raids. Posts show the faction and the open seats. The three raids appear in the LFG list on December 9, when the raids open.
