2006 was the third complete year of the Wilderness Guardians in RuneScape 2.

Summary

2006 was the most successful year in RuneScape 2 for WG in terms of their overall PvP strength. A war with the Black Dragons put WG in the top 5 of P2P clans by January, and PK trips led by Kenshln (known as "KF Raids") were largely successful. His Lordship also created an impressive Flash Website which gained widespread fame as one of the best RuneScape clan websites in existence. Despite continued success and more large-scale wars such as X vs DS, His Lordship eventually chose to step down from leadership of WG midway through the year. The replacement leaders continued to push WG into competing with the likes of Reign of Terror as a top P2P clan ("powerhouse"). However, this resulted in a power struggle which cause His Lordship to return and temporarily close the clan for a few hours on 1 December. Over 100 members would leave within the follwing days, ending WG's era as a top clan.

Major Events

  • January 7 - WG vs Black Dragons: WG defeated BD in the clan's second P2P war, resulting in WG being ranked within the top 5 P2P clans of RuneScape.
  • January - WG elected 3 new Council members: Kingdanelii, Xena1168, and Geohood - bringing the total number of council members to 8.
  • January 15 - Oak Island Pirates: Descendant Guardians leader Oak Island left to found OIP - the only exodus to come from WG's junior clan.
  • January 26 - Flash website: His Lordship released an impressive new website for WG - it would be voted the best website of any RuneScape clan for years to come.
  • April - PHPBB forums: WG switched from the S10 Invisionfree forums to a set hosted on their wildernessguardians.com domain - referred to as "WG.com".
  • June - Descendant Guardians: WG's junior clan re-opened for a second iteration.
  • June - Fear: long-time allies Fear ended the alliance with WG, shortly before the clan's closure.
  • July - WG ended the alliance with the exodus clan The Synergy, and formed an alliance with Syn's exodus The Crusade.
  • June 5 - Clan House: His Lordship completed his player-owned-house designed specifically for WG - just 5 days after the skill's release.
  • July 22 - X vs DS: A large alliance of clans including WG and DG fought the Dark Slayers - the #2 F2P clan in RuneScape.
  • November 17 - WG reformed their alliance with The Synergy.
  • December 1 - D-Day: After a power struggle, His Lordship closed WG for around 3 hours. It was the only time in history that WG has closed, and resulted in over 100 members leaving.
