On December 6th 2003 a small Asian/Aussie Teenager who called himself His Lordship formed the "PK PKs", quickly to be renamed to the Wilderness Guardians.
Over a decade later we still remain on RuneScape and today celebrate our 12th Birthday.
It's been quite a twelfth year, not short on surprises.
Here's a short month by month summary of our year, click an image to expand it.
[spoiler=December]
December was about building up a strong RS3 playerbase to compete in the F2P Legacy warring scene.
Lead by @Mike (http://www.wildernessguardians.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=1295) and other ex-CK members we improved our quality and recruited quite a few people throughout this month.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=January]
By January we had reached a point where we could at least have a competitive fight with any RS3 opponent.
This victory against Poison shows that:

[/spoiler]
[spoiler=February]February started with a bang as we teamed up with Clan Europe for a massive 40v40 fight (http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1659923-wilderness-guardians-and-clan-europe-defeat-arroz-and-extermination/), the largest organised fight in the history of Legacy Warring:
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyvQVrZ9Ptk#)
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=March]In March we joined Team Descent for another big 2v2 (http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1670570-wilderness-guardians-and-descent-vs-extermination-and-ko-order-3-0/) and were victorious once again:
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX8xtIlzabc#)
Half way through the month we had an influx of new applicants, which helped kick-start our 07 unit again...
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=April]With all the new members we decided to hold a combat competition (http://www.crystalmathlabs.com/tracker/competitions.php?skill=overall&competition=2113.) to improve our levels.
The Legacy action also continued with probably our best ever Legacy win against a very good Flip Flops Team (http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1674161-wilderness-guardians-vs-flip-flops-3-0/).
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=May]
The clan gradually shifted towards being OSRS only during May holding things like fire fests:

Activity in the Legacy clan world started declining.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=June]
Some Legacy clans remained and WG continued warring on Legacy while we built our 07 unit.
The most notable win this month was a 4-0 victory (http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1693050-wildguard-quell-cp/) vs Crazed PKers.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=July]July was a month of major transition for WG.
A lot of members left due to the enforcement of our multi-clanning rule but at the same time we had another influx of applications, which continued into August.
During this month we did numerous small P2P Raids on OSRS.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=August] @His Lordship (http://www.wildernessguardians.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=2) hosted a drunken raid. @AnOvenChip (http://www.wildernessguardians.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=1747) passed out (2h 6 mins):

We also hosted another Combat Competition (http://www.crystalmathlabs.com/tracker/competitions.php?competition=3118) during this month.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=September]Mid way through the month Jagex threw the biggest curveball of the year by releasing DarkScape (http://www.wildernessguardians.com/smf/index.php?topic=12049.0) without a hint of warning.
By the end of the month we had gained 200 members (https://twitter.com/wildguardRS/status/648988383155462145) for our new DS Clan Chat.
At the same time we continued with our OSRS P2P Raids.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=October]We got a lot better at smiting verac helms during this month, here's an example:

Our DS growth also continued, we did warbands on a regular basis:

By the end of the month we had hit the CC cap of 500 Players (https://twitter.com/wildguardRS/status/658438973895913472).
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=November]November was a steady month for us both on OSRS and DS.
@Suffud (http://www.wildernessguardians.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=1818) and co flower bombed the GE:

And after sweeping 100 members we once again hit the CC cap (https://twitter.com/wildguardRS/status/668980328850194432) on DS.
[/spoiler]
Roll on our 13th year.
