Wildy Fr00bs
For the first three events, the clan renamed themselves to the "Wildy Fr00bs" and wore black wizard robes.

The Members Drop Party (Public)
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 consisted of two events - a planned Scavenger Hunt was replaced with Kalphite Queen.
Hide and Seek
The Hide and Seek event was moderately similar to the Clan Quest, in that players had to work together to assemble clues and locate His Lordship in-game. His Lordship gave away around 500,000 coins worth of Rune items to the winners.
Kalphite Queen
The KQ trip 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 consisted of three events - a planned drop party was replaced with Fishing Trawler.
Da Lordy Code (Clan Quest)
- Main article: Anniversary#Clan_Quest
His Lordship gave out a starting clue to members, and using an in-game chart, watch, and sextant, members had to find an in-game location. There, they would obtain a password which would unlock a section of the Forum that 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 King Black Dragon
Gifts and prizes were exchanged in Edgeville bank, before a successful KBD trip with many good kills.
The Fishing Trawler
The Fishing Trawler event was hosted spontaneously, and two successful trips were undertaken.
Day Seven
7 January 2005
Day 7 was planned for the 24 December 2004, but was postponed to 7 January 2005, and consisted of two events.
The Iron War
The main event was a large 5-way iron war at Annakarl, involving WG, The Synergy, Fear, Legends Legion, and The Sabres. All members wore iron armour and used iron weapons. The war was crashed by Zeonic Force (There were also allegations of Damage Incorporated being present as well), whom the allied clans were extremely displeased with.
The Clan Members Drop Party (P2P Edition)
The final event of the Anniversary was a P2P drop party for WG members only, held upstairs in Camelot palace and with over 3,000,000 coins worth of items dropped. Following this, His Lordship declared the Anniversary finished.
