Classic Clan Campaign

The Classic Clan Campaign was a movement conceived in late 2007 where WG made an effort to preserve historical aspects of the clan world which were being phased out, in particular the tradition of hosting non-returning wars as opposed to PK run-ins which could last for hours. While the clan world itself continued to evolve and PKRIs became the standard type of engagement, WG continues to avoid extended run-ins. The clan also enjoys occasionally reinacting historical traditions such as marching up from Edgeville into the Wilderness and organising fights where more recent in-game items are disallowed.

2007 Event

The Drop Party at the Falador Party Room

In an effort to raise awareness regarding the decline of the traditional non-returning war, WG organised a promotional event in late October 2007. The event was open to the public and announced on several fansites, with multiple clans such as The Gladiatorz also being given invitations via their forums.

The event took place on 10 November 2007 and hundreds of players were in attendance. It took place mainly in Falador and consisted of five activities:

• Games in the Burthope Games Room (unannounced to the public).
• A public speech about the campaign.
• A drop party at the Falador party room.
• A "firefest" where the clan lit hundreds of fires.
• A "flower power" event where the clan planted hundreds of flowers using Mithril seeds.

In late 2010 WG hosted a series of "old-school" wars (in RuneScape 2; not to be confused with wars in Old-School RuneScape which at the time was unreleased). These battles involved gear restrictions on almost all items released after 2005. Popular items which were disallowed were Helms of Neitiznot, Team Capes and Rune Crossbows. However a unique aspect of the fights were that they all took place in unusual locations around RuneScape in PvP worlds, rather than the traditional location of deep Wilderness.

WG vs The Gladiatorz

The first and arguably most successful war was against The Gladiatorz and took place in the Stronghold of Player Safety. The clans agreed on a P2P knock-out with single spells and pre-2005 restrictions.

WG massed 41 members at Oo'glog in order to gain the stat bonuses from the pools and a pre-war speech was given by His Lordship. The clan made its way to Edgeville and led into the Stronghold of Security by Vio using an alternate account (WG Unite) which was unattackable. WG greeted Gladz who had massed approximately 26 members and wished them good luck.

WG took up a defensive position in a death dot (DD) in the centre of the Stronghold and were charged by Gladz, commencing the battle. The fighting spread all throughout the stronghold but WG's numbers kept them in the lead for the entirety of the engagement. Within a few minutes Gladz had been cleared entirely from the battlefield.

WG took an ending of approximately 35 members remaining and congratulated Gladz on a clean and respectable fight. A video of the fight was made by Vio and includes His Lordship's pre-war speech.

WG vs Australian Army

The second fight took place the following week and was organised with the country clan Australian Army. AA intially agreed to the same rules and the fight took place at the very end of the Varrock Sewers.

WG was the attacking clan and charged AA who were defending from a death dot. However it soon became clear that AA were not abiding by the pre-2005 gear rules and had brought helms of Neitiznots and were using ancient curses. Several AA members also brought a ring of life to teleport out with and at least one broke the boundaries and ran out of the designated war zone.

Despite the cheating, WG managed to clear AA from the battlefield and sustained very few casualties.

WG vs Oblivion

A third war was scheduled against Oblivion following the same theme of a P2P knock-out with single spells and pre-2005 gear. The fight was organised for atop the Al Kharid Palace, and a battle occurred as planned. However no recap was made for the event, and the exact conditions of the battle and the end result are unknown.
