The 2005 Anniversary was a series of RuneScape 2 events held to celebrate the 2nd birthday of the Wilderness Guardians. It consisted of 13 different events held over the course of 4 days in February 2006.

The actual events took place in February of 2006, almost 2 months later than expected. The reasons for the delay are unclear, though several major events such as WG vs Black Dragons occurred around late 2004 and early 2005. On 23 December 2005, His Lordship's RuneScape account was hacked, resulting in the loss of around 60,000,000 coins worth of items which were to be used for the anniversary. Despite these setbacks, the anniversary was still a considerable success - a series of 13 different events were held over the course of 4 days in February of 2006. 3 additional days were planned, but His Lordship was unable to host them.

Day One

Day One consisted of 4 events: The Veteran War, The Firefest, The Public Drop Party, and The Conga Line. The day lasted over 2 and half hours, and the majority of the events were open to the public. A video of the Veteran War was produced, but is believed to be lost to history.
