WoW Forever
Run a World of Warcraft: Forever guild on CoGM: characters from a screenshot, raid signups with soft reserves, DKP, loot auctions in Discord, and the Guild Bank.
WoW Forever is open on CoGM in beta and launches in game on November 4, 2026. For dates and common guild questions, see the WoW Forever page.
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 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.
Members can also claim characters on the guild's Members page. Forever names have a first and a last name, unique per region, so enter both, then the ruleset, faction, race, class and spec. Battle.net has no Forever character API yet, so CoGM cannot check a claim or read gear from Blizzard.
The roster ranks members by verified item levels only. An item level counts as verified only when the CoGM addon imported it, and the addon is still in development. An item level typed on a claim is marked self-reported: 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. Officers can /remind members whose upload is old.
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.
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.
