The Family by Vio, 2020, showing all clans with WG as a common ancestor.
An exodus is an event where a significant number of members leave a clan and subsequently form a clan of their own. While the phrase mass-leave is more commonly used to describe the departure of a large number of players within a considerably short timeframe, the term "exodus" specifically refers to a new clan created by all or the majority of the leaving members (also called a breakaway clan); when the group of players joins a pre-existing clan or go their separate ways, it is simply referred to as a "mass-leave". The first recorded use of the term "exodus" to describe a mass-leave was on 30 December 2004, when a large amount of players resigned from WG following a public post by His Lordship critical of the U.S.A., resulting in the foundation of The Revolution[1].
The Wilderness Guardians has sustained several exodi over the course of its history, and several of the subsequent clans have sustained exodi of their own. Relationships with exodi vary - some have become allies and others rivals. The first and most successful exodus in terms of in-game strength was The Synergy (ranked #24 in 2006), while the longest-surviving is Oak Island Pirates (14 years as of 2020). The most recent exodus was Nothing Left (founded in 2019).
First Generation Clans
All of the first generation clans are exodi from Wilderness Guardians, except Oak Island Pirates which is an exodus of Descendant Guardians.
| Name | Founded | Founder(s)/Leader(s) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Synergy | April or August 2004 | Eragon Cd | Closed (24 April 2008) |
| The Revolution | ~January 2005 | Noricle, Rick Hamm | Closed (24 March 2005) |
| Oak Island Pirates | January 2006 | Oak Island | Active (RuneScape 3) |
| Neverending Torment | Late 2006 | Rick Hamm | Closed (Late 2007/Early 2008) |
| Fidelity | Early 2007 | Draken Burst, Stokenut | Closed (2007) |
| Assassins of Shadow | July 2007 | Ubg-fcbruges | Closed (29 October 2008) |
| The Blade Keepers | 1 February 2011 | Vio (TBK Amethyst) | Closed (4 May 2011) |
| Nothing Left | 5 July 2019 | Ross | Closed (14 July 2020) |
Second Generation Clans
These are clans which were exodi of the first generation clans. Syn had a total of eight exodi over the course of its lifetime, while OIP and TBK had two each. All of the second-generation clans have closed.
| Name | Parent | Founded | Founder(s)/Leader(s) | Closed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Death Jesters | Syn | Late 2004/Early 2005 | The Vicount | unknown |
| Sleeping Dragons | Syn | 29 January 2005 | Kanchellsis, LostNSpace | 2013 |
| Rune Titans | Syn | Early 2005 | Brianlord6, Tempr209, Lancelot15 | May/June 2005 |
| Omega | Syn | Early 2005 | bpl4ever | unknown |
| The Crusade | Syn | May 2006 | Cocobug | 12 January 2009 |
| KnockOut | Syn | May 2006 | unknown | unknown |
| Stoned Dragons | Syn | May 2006 | Pokeurmom3, Theroamer | ~September 2006 |
| Malice | Syn | May 2006 | Jin 89 rc | ~September 2006 |
| Radiant | TBK | April 2011 | Sakura Kane | 2011 |
| Colossus | TBK | April 2011 | Madz | 2011 |
| 7th Circle | OIP | unknown | Kjarun | unknown |
| Nostrum Olympus | OIP | unknown | Knightseek, Magicsword3 | unknown |
The status of Valeria Victrix (VV) as a direct relative of WG is up for debate - it is believed that several members of The Synergy's junior clan The Synergizers joined the pre-existing VV. This would be considered a "mass-leave" rather than a "breakaway clan" - however details surrounding the event are unclear.
Third Generation Clans
Only one third generation clan is known to have existed - Raining Chaos, an exodus of The Crusade, which was an exodus of The Synergy, which was an exodus of WG.
| Name | Parent | Founded | Founder(s)/Leader(s) | Closed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raining Chaos | TC | January 2009 | Zz Scooby Zz | 8 January 2010 |
