Operation Purple Haze (OPH) refers to a series of skill-training programmes within the Wilderness Guardians from 2006 to 2008.

OPH was launched some time in 2006 under the leadership of Tmal34 and Twizlers300, in an attempt to improve members' combat levels.[1] Little is known about the first iteration of the programme or how it worked, but it may have operated similar to the 2007 version of the programme. OPH is also presumed to have ended with D-Day on 1 December 2006. According to the 2010 wiki, OPH resulted in WG's average combat level raising by 2 F2P levels - though the source for this is unknown, and it is unclear whether this refers to the 2006 or 2007 run of OPH.[2]

A second run of OPH was launched around 2 August 2007 for the Fighting Sector of WG, and was managed by Darkzero101.[3] A board on the Z6 forums was made for OPH, in which every member of the clan was given a forum topic. Whenver the member advanced a combat level, they were instructed to post the achievement on their OPH topic. As a result of OPH's success, Operation Blue Haze was launched around 1 month later.[4] It followed the same concept as OPH, but for the Skills Sector and members' total levels and skilling rather than combat.

OPH and OBH lasted around 3-4 months, with the last OPH achievement post being made on 22 January 2008. The programmes were ended with the IPB1 forum switch, with the leadership deciding that they weren't worth continuing.[citation needed]
