Guild Raid Night Scheduler
The hardest part of a weekly raid night is not choosing the night. It is that twenty-five people need to agree on what "Tuesday at 8" means, remember it a week later, and tell you in advance if they can't make it. ReadyRaider handles the timekeeping and the reminding so your officers can spend their attention on the raid instead of on the logistics around it.
One Start Time, Everyone's Local Clock
Guilds spanning regions lose a surprising amount of energy to timezone arithmetic, and the errors are always in the same direction — someone shows up an hour late on the week the clocks change. ReadyRaider stores raid times in UTC and displays them in each member's own timezone, set once on their profile. A raider in Berlin and a raider in Los Angeles both read a correct local start time without converting anything, and daylight saving shifts don't quietly desynchronize the guild.
- Raid times stored in UTC and displayed per member's timezone
- Each member sets their timezone once on their profile
- No manual conversion in guild chat or pinned messages
- Daylight saving changes handled rather than announced
Recurring Nights Without Re-Creating Them
Most guilds raid on a rhythm — Tuesdays and Thursdays, or every Sunday — and recreating that event by hand every week is the kind of small chore that eventually gets skipped. Recurring raids let you set the pattern once and have future instances created for you, each with its own roster and signups. This is a premium feature; on the free tier you create each raid night individually, which works fine for guilds that raid irregularly or are still finding their schedule.
- Set a repeat pattern once, such as every Tuesday and Thursday
- Each occurrence has its own roster, signups, and attendance record
- Recurring raids are a premium feature; one-off raids are free
- Free tier allows 5 active raids at once, created individually
Deadlines and Reminders
A roster you learn about ten minutes before pull is not useful. Signup deadlines move the information earlier: set one for the day before and you find out you're two healers short while there is still time to do something about it. Reminders then handle the other half of the problem, which is that people who genuinely intended to come simply forget. Both are more valuable than they sound, because together they convert most last-minute cancellations into known absences.
- Signup deadlines, so shortages surface a day early
- Automatic reminders before the raid starts
- Notifications when signups change or the event is updated
- Tentative tracked separately, so maybes aren't counted as attending
Web Dashboard and Discord, Both in Sync
Raiders live in Discord and organizers need a table. Those are different needs, and tools that only serve one of them push the other onto a spreadsheet. ReadyRaider gives officers a web dashboard with the full roster and gives raiders the option to sign up from Discord without visiting the site. Both views read the same data, so there's no reconciliation step and no canonical-copy argument.
- Officers get a dashboard with role counts and the full roster
- Raiders can sign up from your Discord server
- Both surfaces read and write the same roster
- Signup source recorded, so you know who responded where
Frequently Asked Questions
How does timezone handling work?
Raid times are stored in UTC and shown in each member's own timezone, which they set once on their profile. Everyone reads a correct local start time without converting anything, and daylight saving shifts are handled automatically.
Can I set up a recurring weekly raid night?
Yes, with premium. You set a repeat pattern such as every Tuesday and Thursday, and future instances are created for you, each with its own roster and attendance record. On the free tier you create each raid night individually.
How many raids can I have scheduled at once?
The free tier allows 5 active raids, 3 raid templates, and 50 squad members. Premium removes the raid and template limits and raises the member cap to 200.
Will members get reminders before the raid?
Yes. Automatic reminders go out before a raid starts, and members are notified when signups change or the event is updated. Reminders can reach people through Discord, which is where most raiders actually are.
What is a signup deadline for?
It moves roster information earlier. With a deadline the day before, you learn you're short on healers while there's still time to ask someone, rather than discovering it at pull.
Can raiders sign up without using the website?
Yes. The Discord bot lets members respond to raids from your server. Officers generally use the web dashboard for the full roster view, and both read the same data.
Does this work for games other than WoW?
Yes. Raids work for any game, with system templates for several MMOs including Final Fantasy XIV, Destiny 2, and Guild Wars 2, plus a generic template you can shape yourself.
