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 produced a Flash website which gained widespread fame, and was often voted the best website within the RuneScape clan community. 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 as a top P2P clan ("powerhouse"). This resulted in a power struggle which caused 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.
