Hi everyone, It's been a little while since I've posted here, so I'd like to reintroduce myself. I'm His Lordship. I founded The Wilderness Guardians in December 2003, and led actively until the mid-2010's when I fell into inactivity, leaving the clans in the capable hands of Mojo, then Ghost. I was just 15 years old when I began my journey with WG, and I'm now 37. I've been wanting to re-engage with my fellow clanmates and friends for a long time now, but have lacked the time. It finally dawned on me that I would never find the time unless I actively made it, so here I am, deciding that WG is too important a part of who I am to stay away any longer. I plant to get back into RS and reacquaint myself with this fine group of people from around the world who share in my passion. Even after all these years away, I still feel like a Wilderness Guardian as much as I did as a teenager. Sorry for being AFK for so long. Guardians unite... Yours truly, His Lordship

WG WINS AGAIN

His Lordship has returned! Now, Guardians, we rise as one.

Didn't have this on my 2025 bingo card

they were getting swung around by their bandanas like 12 year old girls

Hello His Lordship it's nice to meet you!! Likewise, even though I do not actively play RS I still feel like a guardian. I proudly carry the username WG Mojo on many socials and games

And Reddit post here:

You can call me a sentimental fool, Or say that my heart is in the past. But I know history is a powerful tool, And this clan's history is a pain in the ass. Despite being in Deathrow for the past 4 years - long after I accomplished my goals of putting NL in the ground, then putting PD in the ground for taking the ex-NL, and continuing to victimise the ex-NL/PD members for being fucking stupid fucking idiots - and with not much contact with present WG nor any real intentions of rejoining... I nonetheless find myself doing WG clan work. Mostly the same clan work I started in 2010 as Historian, which is to fully document the history of the Wilderness Guardians as best as possible. And that's mainly happening on the Wiki that Mojo and I started in 2019, but has remained largely unfinished since. A few days ago, and completely out of nowhere, I had the sudden urge to finish it. And my plan was to do just that and then drop a link in discord and be like "HEY GUYS IT ONLY TOOK 5 YEARS BUT ITS FINALLY DONE" - but then after around a week of devoting a ridiculous amount of hours into research and writing (which includes negating most of my other hobbies and also skipping a few DR trips), I realise that there's a reason I've never gotten a wiki to a reasonable standard of completion before. To put it simply: there is a lot of stuff that's happened over the past twenty-one years, and researching all of it is neither quick, nor easy, nor simple. So instead of waiting an impossibly long time to get there before I share any of my efforts, what I've decided to do is revive an old SMF forum topic from the late (not dead, just inactive) His Lordship - the Fragments of History. As I complete pages and sections, I'll share them here - because all humour and sarcasm aside, WG history is absolutely fascinating. No other clan has a story like WG does. So if you happen to be interested - watch this topic. I'll update it periodicaly as things get done on the Wiki, and hopefully you'll be able to get a slightly better understanding of why, after fourteen years, I'm still obsessed with this clan. Either that, or you might actually learn something cool. Wildguard - Established in 2003, united unto the end of time. First post: The AvidGamers History We'll start things off with a history meta - the first ever historical record, as written by His Lordship circa 2004. I say that lightly though - it's highly fictionalised in Lordy's fantasy writing style, but it does cover the events of late 2003 and early 2004 - Lordy getting PKed while collecting runes, posting on Rune Village, The Sabres, the Federation, and celebrating the 100 member mark. https://www.wildernessguardians.com/w/AvidGamers_History Contents 2. Medals 3. The FrontPage Website 4. 2008 Anniversary Preparation Video

For those of you who don't know me - hello, I'm Vio! I was in WG from 2009 to 2020. Back in the day I was Advisor/Head Warlord, and the leader of WG's old junior clan Descendant Guardians - but I'm probably best known as the Historian of WG. It's my job to document the 22+ year history of WG, which I mainly do over on the wiki (it's not done yet, don't look!!). About 6 years ago a bunch of WG members tried to start a mutiny and made a clan called Nothing Left (NL). This annoyed me to the point where I left WG and joined the clan Deathrow in order to kill NL. We hunted NL to the point where they had to merge with Playdead, and then we hunted Playdead until they ceased operating in RuneScape as well. So that was my job done - but I decided to stick around with DR for a bit longer because it was a pretty cool clan, and the brief leave of absence from WG accidentally turned into 5 years. But thankfully last year I started doing some more work on WG's wiki, and finally realised it was time to come home. ---------- For those of you who DO know me - Henlo friends, it Vio. We are so back. Also I brought His Lordship with me - hopefully you find him useful. ---------- Since Lordship posted an irl pic on his intro, I want to do the same - but because I don't have any good recent pictures of myself, have one of my cat instead. He just turned 1 year old, and his name is Charlie. We named him after Charli xcx because he is brat.

Welcome back and nice to meet ya! What’s the gym routine btw? Lmao

I would say welcome back brother! (but u lost me @ listing ur pronouns)

The FrontPage Website A forgotten piece of history that sat between AvidGamers in 2004 and the Flash Website in 2006 was the FrontPage website. As the name suggests, it was made by His Lordship using Microsoft FrontPage. And there is an absolute ton of information in there that was never actually deleted. All the pages and (most of) the files stayed gathering dust on WG's server for 20ish years, but despite my early efforts, they couldn't be made presentable. FrontPage was a WYSIWYG editor that spat out a mess of spaghetti code, and the only reasonable way to preserve it would be to basically remake the entire website from scratch. So I remade the entire website from scratch. It took months, and I even had to outsource some help to Reddit in order to complete it, but I have successfully re-written the entire source code using modern HTML, restored all the Flash media and most of the images, etc. I have also taken some artistic liberties and replaced dead links with links to Wiki resources, but otherwise I've kept it authentic as possible - down to every questionable FrontPage misalignment. You can check out the completed version here: https://wildernessguardians.com/frontpage/ There are some fantastic gems of history in those pages - from a teenage Lordship berating his council members for not wanting to write 3,000-word essays on their RuneScape clan every 2 weeks, to Vio's personal favourite wording of a WG clan rule: "If you declare or accept war on the clan's behalf, you will find that you have no clan to war with." If you want a fascinating insight into WG in 2005, here it is. Note: the actually Wiki page on the FrontPage website is not yet finished, but I am sick of looking at this thing so I'll save it for another day.

@Ghost Sabre We should send them a consolation prize for having the balls to show up in the first place. Who can print shirts... I'd like to order 15 + an extra 10 just incase 15 isn't enough.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ghost Sabre Leader of the Wilderness Guardians discord.gg/wg - ghost.sabre 17 January 2025 Subject: Safeguarding RuneScape’s Legacy and Your Investment To the stakeholders of Jagex, Runescape, and CVC Capital Partners, I am writing to you as a long-standing member of the RuneScape community, an essential audience for the success of the game and, by extension, your investment. RuneScape’s enduring legacy as one of the most popular and long-lived MMORPGs is built upon its loyal player base and straightforward membership model. However, the proposed introduction of a convoluted pricing structure risks destabilizing this legacy, which could have far-reaching consequences for your recent IPO valuation. As you are aware, CVC Capital Partners recently went public on the Euronext Amsterdam amid a boom in European IPOs. With shares rising from the initial offering price of €14 to nearly €22, the market has expressed confidence in your ability to grow assets like RuneScape. However, this confidence hinges on maintaining the integrity and sustainability of your portfolio investments. Missteps, such as alienating RuneScape’s core audience with a confusing pricing model, could erode player trust, tarnish the franchise's reputation, and negatively impact shareholder value. RuneScape’s community is not just any player base; it is composed of highly invested individuals, many of whom—like my clanmates and friends—have been playing since RuneScape 1 launched in 2001. This group endured significant moral injury and cognitive dissonance during the release of the Evolution of Combat, a period that strained relationships between the company and its players. The healing that has occurred over the past decade, largely due to the success of Old School RuneScape (OSRS), demonstrates the importance of community trust. A pricing change perceived as exploitative could reopen old wounds and drive away the core players that give RuneScape its legitimacy. Moreover, RuneScape’s competitive positioning is at risk. The gaming industry is saturated with free-to-play and subscription-based games offering transparent and fair value propositions. A shift to a multi-tiered, opaque pricing model would not only confuse existing subscribers but also weaken RuneScape’s ability to attract and retain players amidst fierce competition. As stewards of this iconic franchise, you have a unique opportunity to safeguard its legacy and ensure sustainable growth. I urge you to advocate for a membership structure that prioritizes transparency, equity, and alignment with the community’s expectations. Doing so will not only protect RuneScape’s reputation but also reinforce the stability of your investment. Thank you for considering this critical perspective. Together, we can ensure that RuneScape continues to thrive as a beloved and profitable game for years to come. Sincerely, Ghost Sabre

he came up to me on DiscordGG WG and said that... so i logged in on HIS LORDSHIP's body double and gave him the business

Picked up my dirtbike (dual sport) earlier this year after riding a surron for a couple years. The e-bike was cool and all but man is a real dirtbike so much better in every way tbh. So much more comfortable. Only thing i miss is hitting up bike trails on the surron, you could get away with being anywhere on that thing. Took a solo ride the other day up some mountains...

Doe I harvested last season on a 600,000 acre plot of state land. I live for the outdoors.

2008 Anniversary Preparation Video Whilst digging through the archives, I stumbled across this - a Flash movie by @His Lordship inviting the RuneScape community to WG's 2008 Anniversary celebrations. It was for WG's 5th birthday - 17 years ago! Also if you're wondering what that 4th mystery event was, it was to make this.

Suggested for PvP: 110+ Combat with 85+ Ranged and Magic. Since 2003, the Wilderness Guardians have been an honour clan. This means we respect the integrity of the game, we respect others, recognising there is a human behind the screen and we show respect to other clans. All scammers are reported to RuneWatch. We expect a good level of community activity from those joining us. Members should be actively following unread content on these boards as well as using Discord and WG_CC, our Clan Chat.

Full Rules, Honour Code and Members Rights As follows are the full rules, honour code and members rights of WG. This is strongly suggested reading and regardless of whether you've read it, all rules apply to you. Rules Honour Code A special subset of rules for our PvP events. You are also urged (but not required) to follow our code of honour on your own, outside of clan events. We believe that we must embody the behaviour of the PKing community as we wish to see it. Furthermore, as a clan, we show honour even to those who treat us dishonourably, and we are renowned for our integrity. Members Rights You have certain rights that nobody can take away from you. Despite the rules mentioned above, there are things that a leader cannot restrict. You will have these rights at all times. Member Only Documents Members of WG can refer to our Clan Charter, a document outlining our basic value. The charter is superseded by these rules in cases of conflict. Clan members can also refer to our advice relating to staking, lending and services. These documents are in the spoiler below.
