WG massing for the 2013 Veteran War, 18 January 2004.

The 2013 Anniversary, or Clanniversary, was a celebration of the 9th Anniversary of the Wilderness Guardians, and consisted of around 6 events over the course of two days in January 2014.

Overview

In a much smaller anniversary than compared to previous celebrations which lasted around a week, the 2013 anniversary was only held for two days and had three planned events per day. These took place in both RuneScape 3 and Old-School RuneScape, marking the first occasion where events were split between the two games.

There is a significant lack of screenshots for the events, as no Forum recaps were posted. Al Fight On is known to have many screenshots saved from the series of events[1], but as of 2024 they appear to be lost to history. Bassism also live-streamed the first day on Twitch, but the recordings have not been saved.

Day One

18 January 2014

Day 1 consisted of three planned events[2].

The Veteran War

Main article: Anniversary#Veteran_War

The Veteran War took place in RuneScape 3 and followed the traditional format. Only two screenshots have been found of the event thus far, both of which are of the mass in Falador and none of the actual war.

This was notably Vio's first Veteran War - having joined WG in late 2009, missed the 2009 Veteran War due to real life commitments, missed the 2010 Veteran War due to leaving WG, and no anniversaries being held for 2011 and 2012. Vio was recording from the veterans' perspective - however the non-veteran leader Al Fight On targeted him as the first pile and thus the first death, making his footage useless.
