Frequently Asked Questions

GuildForger is designed for anyone running a gaming community. This includes MMO raid guilds, esports teams, competitive gaming clans, multi-game organizations, tabletop RPG groups, and LARP organizations. Whether you're running a small friend group or a large public guild, GuildForger scales to your needs.

Yes! GuildForger offers a free Starter tier that includes all essential features for running a guild. This includes forums, chat, basic event scheduling, and member management. Premium tiers (Pro and Enterprise) unlock advanced features like custom domains, priority support, larger storage, and additional customization options.

Discord is great for real-time chat and voice, but important information gets buried in the scroll. GuildForger is purpose-built for guilds with native support for persistent forums, DKP tracking, roster management, event scheduling, and member progression. No bots to configure, no workarounds needed - everything works together seamlessly.

Not at all! GuildForger is designed for everyone, regardless of technical background. Everything is configured through an intuitive visual interface - create forums, set up DKP systems, design member profiles, and customize your guild's appearance without writing a single line of code.

Yes, we offer migration assistance for guilds moving from other platforms like Discord, Guilded, Enjin, or spreadsheets. Contact our support team and we'll help you transfer your content, member accounts, and data to make the transition as smooth as possible.

You can share your guild's unique link directly, or use the built-in invitation system to send email invites. You control whether your guild is open (anyone can join), requires approval, or is invite-only. Member management tools let you set ranks, permissions, and access levels.

Create events with date, time, description, and role requirements (tanks, healers, DPS, etc.). Members sign up with their attendance status and preferred roles. Officers see at a glance who's coming and can manage the roster. Automatic reminders help ensure good turnout.

Members earn points through guild activities - attending events, posting in forums, helping other members. These points drive automatic rank-ups, unlock achievements, and determine member tiers. You can customize ranks, badges, and what each level unlocks.

Yes! Create currencies with your own names - DKP, guild coins, points, or whatever fits your guild. Members earn currency through attendance and activities. Use it for loot bidding, shop rewards, or any other purpose you design.

Absolutely. GuildForger has granular permission controls. Set forums, chat channels, and features to be visible to everyone, logged-in members, specific ranks, or individual users. Perfect for separating officer discussions, raid team sections, or gating content by rank.

You and your members retain ownership of all content created in your guild. GuildForger provides the platform, but your guides, strategies, and creative works remain yours. You can export your data at any time.
