Autonomous on World of Warcraft Forever: A Horde PvE Guild

Autonomous is bringing its community to World of Warcraft Forever with a Horde guild on a PvE realm. We'll spend the first month leveling and running dungeons together, then start raiding when the first raids open December 9. It's still the same guild and same Discord, but we'll be together in a whole new Azeroth.

What Is WoW Forever?

About
World of Warcraft Forever

WoW Forever is a new, separate version of World of Warcraft. It isn't a Classic re-release, and it isn't a path into Retail. It starts from the feel of the original game: straightforward classes, deliberate combat, and a leveling journey that actually takes a while. Then it adds new content on top, including new zones, nine new dungeons, more than a thousand new quests, and a new playable race, the Skyborne, who begin on Zephras Isle and choose their faction at character creation.

Forever deliberately takes away the shortcuts that let you play an MMO without knowing anyone: no automatic dungeon finder, fixed 10 or 20-player raid sizes, one difficulty per encounter, no GDKP, and no cross-faction grouping. Some people will call that friction. We call it the reason Autonomous exists.

Blizzard's goal is a world that feels big, social, and worth slowing down for. We're building a Horde guild on a PvE realm to meet it, with the same Discord and the same people you already raid with in Retail.

Getting Started

Find Your Spot

No Rush

The Leveler

Levels 1–60 · At your pace

Forever is a long road from 1 to 60, and some of us plan to enjoy every step. Find questing buddies, share the weird stuff you stumble into, and never get rushed through a zone you like.

9 New Dungeons

The Dungeon Crawler

Available at launch · Levels 13–60

Nine new dungeons are available at launch, spanning levels 13–60, from Hall of Thanes to Shaper's Terrace. We'll find guild groups in Discord and tackle them together as we level.

Let's Raid!

The Raider

Opens December 9, 2026

The Barrow Deeps (10-player) and Hyjal Summit (20-player) are the two new raids. Onyxia's Lair also returns as a 40-player raid. We'll shape our roster and raid nights with the people who join.

No Agenda

The Social Player

Drop in whenever

Some nights you just want to log in, hop in voice, and talk about nothing for two hours. That's a perfectly good way to be in Autonomous, and plenty of us do exactly that.

Gather · Craft · Trade

The Crafter

On your own time

Gatherers, crafters, and people who just love the auction house. Trade materials, make gear for guildies, and be the reason the raid shows up with consumables.

No Experience Needed

The First-Timer

Start with us on launch day!

Never played World of Warcraft? Forever's slower start was made for you. Ask us the questions you think are dumb. They're not, and someone in Discord will happily help.

Grab Your Hearthstone, Autonomous has a new home on World of Warcraft Forever

Autonomous is opening a Horde, PvE guild on World of Warcraft Forever. Same guild, same Discord, brand new world. Here's what we're doing at launch on November 4, what happens when raids open December 9, and how to get in on the ground floor.

One Guild, Two Games

Also Raiding on Area 52

Autonomous started as a cross-faction Retail guild on Area 52 (US), and it's still going strong: several raid teams, from Cutting Edge Mythic progression to Heroic AOTC, plus an active Mythic+ community. If you want to play both versions, meet our Retail raid teams.
