How a Ready Check Works

  • The group leader or raid leader initiates the ready check.
  • Each player in the (raid) group receives a Ready Check pop-up window.
  • They have about 40 seconds to choose “Ready” or “Not Ready”.
  • If a player does not choose an option, the game will automatically choose “Not Ready” for them.
  • The group leader or raid leader will be notified of all players who were not ready.
  • If all players selected “Ready”, the leader will receive an “Everyone is Ready” message.
