2004 Anniversary

The Veteran War, 11 December 2004.

The 2004 Anniversary was a celebration of the 1st Anniversary of the Wilderness Guardians. A range of 15 different events of various types were held over the course of seven days in December 2004 and January 2005, with the main body of events taking place from the 19th to 24th of December.

Day One

11 December 2004

Day 1 consisted of the Veteran War, a Firefest, a public drop party, and a clan members only drop party in F2P - with over 1,000,000 coins worth of items dropped. Some clan members went on to host an impromptu Raid afterwards.

Day Two

19 December 2004

Day 2 initially had Duel Arena and Agility Arena events planned. The Duel Arena event took place, in which His Lordship handed out items such as Dragonstone amulets and other valuables to anyone who could defeat him. The event was followed by several games of Castle Wars rather than Agility, where the Saradomin team won every game.

Day Three

20 December 2004

Day 3 had four events. For the first three, the clan renamed themselves the "Wildy Fr00bs" and held a parade in Falador, a conga line (erroneously called a "congo line"), and a "marketplace disruption" event in which they attempted to sell "poo". The clan name was reverted for a Fancy Dress contest at the Jolly Boar inn north of Varrock, which was won by Palidore for his Doctor's Costume (third screenshot, front left).

Day Four

21 December 2004

Day 4 consisted of a photo shoot and a P2P drop party. The photo shoot involved members cosplaying various themes throughout different locations. Afterwards, a public drop party was held at the Falador party room. Many valuable items were dropped as a gift returned to the RuneScape community, and the clan was wished a happy anniversary by many non-WG attendees.

Day Five

22 December 2004

Day 5 had Hide and Seek and Scavenger Hunt events planned. The Hide and Seek took place, which was moderately similar to the Clan Quest in that players had to work together to assemble clues and locate His Lordship in-game, who gave away around 500,000 coins worth of in Rune items to the winners. The Scavenger Hunt was replaced with a Kalphite Queen trip, and is described as "interesting" - several deaths occurred, though no one lost anything of great value and the increasing difficulty from dwindling numbers was said to be quite enjoyable.

Day Six

23 December 2004

Day 6 had three events planned: the Clan Quest, a KBD trip and a private P2P drop party. For the Clan Quest (called Da Lordy Code), His Lordship gave out a starting clue to members. Using this and the in-game chart, watch, and sextant, they had to find an in-game location to obtain a password, which would unlock a section of the Forum which held the next clue. His Lordship's ultimate location was the first floor of the Varrock palace, and those who found him received a Rune armour set as a prize. The KBD event was held after as planned, however a Fishing Trawler event took place instead of the planned drop party.

Day Seven

Day seven was planned for the 24th, but postponed to January 7th, 2005. It involved a massive 5-way Iron war at the Demonic Ruins. The Synergy, Fear, Legends Legion, The Sabres and the WildGuard all took part, although the war was crashed by Zeonic Force (There were also allegations of Damage Incorporated being present as well). The P2P drop party took place afterwards, with a value of over 3m dropped. His Lordship declared the Anniversary closed after this.
