My Promise

February 28th



WG had probably sunk into the worst slump since DDay. Many of our most dedicated and friends left, hoping for a better future. Some left in search of better PvP. Some left because of friends. Whatever their reasons, WG was left as a figment of its former self with a bleak future.

It was unclear what was going to happen. I know Darth, Glenn and even I considered leaving. We doubted WG's survival. We gave it a week. We didn't think WG could recover from such a heavy lost.

But we stayed strong.

We tried making a mandatory raid to recover, to prove that we were not done yet. We pulled 13 to our mandatory. WG's slipping future was even more sure then. All this time, WG got crap from certain ex-members who left, encouraging others to leave and experience the epic battles in larger clans.

"All the good pkers left WG," one said. "Only the power hungry stayed behind, hoping to get ranked." But we didnt take their crap. From what I remember, we even lashed back, resulting in several warn levels and demotions.

But we stayed strong.

Remember these raids?



Glenn stepped down to make room for his real life. We lost our Warlord. Another heavy hit. We took a step into P2P PvP, which each raid barely reaching 10 members. We were unable to fight any clans, and were forced to fight teams only. Although there was some slight success, WG's future still looked bleak.

(00:25:08) <*****> Because the leaders are incapable. They don't know what they're doing.

But we stayed strong.

After several raids, we began to make our way into stronger fights. We destroyed Gladz with our tactics. We demolished TNG with unfamiliar rules in our first P2P fight in ages, only losing 2. With the dedication of our members, fought Distortion for 3 hours, up until 2AM GMT. We destroyed infliction and TNG, then fought TDW twice against superior numbers without banking once. We held against GW late at night, against double our opts. Even with paltry pulls, we fought against 100 welfarers and destroyed them.

WG vs Gladz


WG vs TNG/TDW


WG vs Distortion


We stayed strong. Our ML began to increase rapidly with our success, and many of the people who left returned.

Thanks to those that stayed behind while everything seemed so bleak, we survived. Thanks to the faith and belief everyone had, we pulled through. It seemed impossible, but we did it. I can not manage to thank those people enough. We believed, and it worked.

---------------

To those who I talked to closely, you know that I never wanted to become Council. I never wanted to become Warlord. I always prefered to stay in the background, and I was worried that I was unable to do what I needed to do. I blamed myself alot for the slump, not helping Glenn as much as I should have. But ever since the mass leavings, I knew what I had to do, and I knew I had to fix what I had caused. I applied hoping to redeem myself, and thanks to you guys, I've done some good.

But have been slacking alot. WG has not been doing as pvp as it should have been. Many of our great P2P promises have been forgotten. A return to F2P and improvement in organization has been delayed for a long time. New P2P targets and quality raids have been absent (This is why I argued so vehemently for spies).

But you guys deserve better then that. For all the loyalty you've shown WG, you deserve better then that.

I know that many of you have been disgruntled due to the lack of action and activity from the leadership. I'm renewing the promises that I took when I became a Raid Leader, and I hope to help WG once again. I just hope that you guys renew your efforts too. I'm hoping you guys are willing to give me another chance.

We all know whats in the near future. Already, the effects can be seen; many are back to school and activity is dropping. People have jobs, and both leaders and members cant be as active as before.

But we will stay strong.

If I think I'm incapable or too inactive to continue my job, then I will step down. But I'm not quite done yet, and I hope that you guys aren't either.

What is impossible?
What is a slump?
What does it mean to be a Wilderness Guardian?

You tell me.

Lets fucking do this.
WHOS WITH ME?

I
Am
Fucking
With
You.
Who is ready to step WG up? We can do this. Right now is not even near as bleak as times that we've reached before. Less than 6 months ago, we had about ~30 goodbyes over about two days. We recovered. Your effort and energy is all we need. We are one.

Well said sir, well said. I shall try to do what i can

RAWR lets go Weegee!

This will be interesting.

Good post.

Let's do this.

We got this WG.

WG right?

I can honestly say I've been slacking recently. It's just starting to get really challenging.

But I'm ready to start putting forth 110% into WG. This post was like a great motivator thing we needed, bad.

LET'S DO THIS GUARDIANS

I'm here as I always will be. I will give you whatever I can.

Good post.
I hope EVERYONE gets into it.
Go to events you've never tried, stay up late for something, give it your all

I AM WITH YOU !

YES I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!
LETS GET THIS GOING GUYS
WE
ARE
WG

I would love to step up but I have a busy few weeks to decide what i'm actually doing and going to do, and with my screen still broken and no real income to fix it I can only get on my mums laptop when I can.
We're on a bit of a downhill slope at the moment but we will push back up.

FUCKKK YEA. IM WITH YOU!!!!!!!

Oh yeah. Im with ya!

Letsss DO THIS!@

Things will improve guys.
The end of the summer, when school starts is always a difficult period... but we always pull through it.
This time is no different.

You're dangerously pumping me up... F2p raid pl0x?

You have my sword.

Fuck yeah.

Brilliant, love it. Great speech bto. And good job to those who stuck around. I stuck around after D-day and i know what its like, it aint easy. All of you should give yourselves a pat on the back.

I wish I spent more time with WG then, but with uni I barely had chance to. I'll never leave WG, but I can no longer fully commit to it.

But until term starts, I'm definitely ready to kick some ass in P2P PVP again

Calling to buy members atm.

Sir, I say Sah
Let's crank this shit up to 11.







Bto. You give just as inspiring posts as Lordy.


Lordy, you have met your match.

in

I'm always with you WG.


START PUMPING@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I'll never leave your side Kevin. IF YA KNO WAT I MENA!

LEG IT LEG IT LEG IT! RUNESCAPE!

Of course I'm staying this is only the what 2nd or 3rd slump I've personally watched? It's a cycle but of course now with BTO we can at least be amused during it.

I am so proud to have served WG for those few tough months, and as soon as I get back from university for winter break, I will be ready to serve again.

WG for life!

GET PUMPED @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I'll attend what i can as always, important mandatory raids etc.

I remember D day and I remember posting on everyones goodbye topics, it got old after a while. I noticed our increase success in the p2p pvp and it was exciting but then it slowed down. Glad to see a motivating post!

Life is a journey through time and it is a certainty that people will move on. Unfortunately, that sometimes is away and sometimes back again. I have not been in WG for long but I have experienced some of the ravages of time but unlike you there is not longer any term and I am only limited by the fact that I do have to work so I cannot join you during the week days. Unless something dire happens, I, for one, will stick it out until the end and maybe then some.

...I am older than I once was but younger than I will be.

Your all such a great Wee Gee Family.

FUCKING YES BTO.

LETS KICK SOME ASS!

Rude ^ That many people leaving at once is sure called a slump. At least I stayed unlike the many people who left for top clans.

nice cheering. will look forward to what you have in mind.


this reminded me of my promise. won't leave wg unless i'm banned or in a coffin.

I will always stay with you, but at the moment I just can't play RuneScape because of RL issues...

I wish for the day when I can return to you guys...
