Overview
The first birthday of WG was celebrated over seven different days in December and the following January. These were 11, 19–23 December and 7 January 2005. In total, 15 events took place, setting a high bar for future anniversary events.
Day One
The clan's first Anniversary was planned to begin on December 11th, 2004 . After discussion, the first day remained on the 11th, but the main body of events took place from the 19th to the 24th. Day 1 consisted of the Veteran War - an interclan war in which veterans in steel defend the Bandit Camp from the non-veterans in Rune. The event is organised at Varrock west bank and followed to the Monastery where members picked cabbages for food - a reinactment of the clan's first Raid. The non-veterans have always been victorious, as a symbol of the clan's progress. Following the Veteran War, the Firefest was held (Another event which has been held every year), and the day finished with a F2P clan-only drop party. Prior to the start, a Bronze war with the Federation was held a few hours earlier.
Day Two
Day two on the 19th had Duel Arena and Agility Arena events planned. The Dual Arena event took place, in which His Lordship handed out items such as Dragonstone amulets and other valuables to anyone who could defeat him. The event was followed by Castle Wars, rather than Agility. The Saradomin team won every game.
Day Three
Day three on the 20th had four events. For the first three, the clan renamed themselves the "Wildy Fr00bs" and held a parade in Falador, a congo line and the Marketplace Disruption, in which they attempted to sell "poo". The clan name was then changed back for the Fancy Dress contest, which was won by Palidore.
Day Four
Day four on the 21st had two events: the Photo Shoot and the Members' Drop Party. The Photo Shoot is another event which has been held over all the anniversaries. Themes ranged from the Nerd Club to the Dark Lords. Many Rune and Dragon items were dropped at the drop party, and the clan was wished happy birthday by many non-WG members as well.
Day Five
Day five on the 22nd had Hide and Seek and the Scavenger Hunt planned. The Hide and Seek took place, which was moderately similar to the Clan Quest. His Lordship gave away around 500k in Rune items. The Scavenger Hunt was replaced with a Kalphite Queen trip, and is described as "interesting". No one lost anything of great value.
Day Six
Day six on the 23rd had 3 events planned: the Clan Quest, a KBD trip and the private P2P drop party. The Clan Quest, also known as Da Lordy Code, is one of the most important events in the anniversary, and His Lordship was located on the first floor of the Varrock Castle. The KBD was held after as planned, however a Trawler Trip took place following that instead of the drop party.
Day Seven
Day seven was planned for the 24th, but postponed to January 7th, 2005. It involved a massive 5-way Iron war at the Demonic Ruins. The Synergy, Fear, Legends Legion, The Sabres and the WildGuard all took part, although the war was crashed by Zeonic Force (There were also allegations of Damage Incorporated being present as well). The P2P drop party took place afterwards, with a value of over 3m dropped. His Lordship declared the Anniversary closed after this.
