AD Communities: Who they are and where to find them

Hey there,

So without beating around the bush, I wanted to be so forward as to keep a public list of communities, and Blizzard groups to an extent, of AD and how to join them. The intention of this list is to aid said communities in growing by making them more visible.

What’s a community?
Communities are a feature that combine guild-like organisatory features with traditional chat program features. They also work cross-realm! You can join one or more communities with a single character (and blizzard groups with your battletag) to facilitate the organization of RP groups, raiding groups or farming groups that don’t merit a dedicated guild but are still very important to you!
You can join as many communities as you like. As community (or blizzard group) leader, you are able to promote moderators to keep your community a top notch environment for all intents and purposes you intended for!
Due to their nature, Communities only work for characters on their respective faction whereas blizzard groups are accessible via all of your characters and even outside of the game client!
Most importantly, you can generate calendar events targeted at a community of your liking, facilitating the organization of i.e. class-only RP events![/quote]

This needs a bit more awareness and a sticky.

Not because I’m biased or anything. I just subjectively think it’s a useful thread for the rest of AD.

It appears some of these links have expired, or no longer exist.
Such as Adventurers Coalition, and Alliance Raiding Community.

Hello. Please remove The Order of the Broken Temple. I wanted to say this on the old forum but I didn’t realise it had been replaced. The concept didn’t really go anywhere and I don’t play as much as I used to. Thank you!

Adventurers Coalition still exists and we are very much busy setting up everything and growing slowly but steadily.

I’ll remove the expired links and the Order of the Broken Temple, thank you for letting me know!

Can anybody check if the Alliance Raiding Community still exists?

I’ve generated a new link for the Adventurers Coalition that should work.

This needs to be seen, after all these are the officially sanctioned channels blizzard provides us.

Gonna shamelessly bump this post because this requires being seen and expanded on. Would LOVE to see more discords, communities and bnet groups created to help connect AD together. Let’s keep this growing! :smiley:

Good gosh, I was afraid this was locked by now.

I believe some of these communities might have expired links or be nonexistant. Does anybody have the time to spare to check which?

A bump to prevent it from being locked :slight_smile:

Thanks Gizlek for this useful thread

Why is this not pinned? :confused:

They pin threads almost at random, then those threads get locked despite being pinned. Sad trombone

One day this thread will be pinned amongst the others… But until then, has anybody checked on any of the entries yet? Do they need updating? Should I be adding or removing any?

Thanks in advance!

I’ll go over the Alliance communities listed here later today and give you a sit-rep on them.

Old School Raids on Alliance side, the link as expired and here is the new one if you could update it for me please :slight_smile: :+1:

I made some characters on Horde side and found Thalassian After Hours very inactive and Sunspire one to be as well. They are still about, but no one speaks in them really.
