No anniversary was held for 2006 as a result of [[D-Day]] and [[His Lordship]]'s third permanent ban. Like the [[2005 Anniversary]], the 2007 Anniversary events actually occured in 2008 - although it is hard to determine exactly when. At the time, His Lordship was attending a [[Real life meeting]] in London, and so at least the first two days were organised by [[Dorcha3377]], the next-in-charge staff member at the time. As a result, 2007 was the first year in which a Clan Quest was not held as part of the Anniversary.

Day 1 is known to have been held on 20 January 2008, and consisted of a Flower Power, Firefest, and Castle Wars events - though only screenshots of a Firefest were recorded in the clan's website gallery.

The 2007 Anniversary was a series of RuneScape 2 events held to celebrate the 4th birthday of the Wilderness Guardians. It consisted of 8 events in late 2007.[1]

Overview

📝 This article is a stub. You can help the Wilderness Guardians Wiki by expanding it.

No anniversary was held for 2006 as a result of D-Day and His Lordship's RuneScape account receiving a third permanent ban.

The exact structure of the 2007 anniversary has mostly been lost to history, as the section of the Z6 forums pertaining to it had all its content deleted by the time Vio (as the clan Historian) gained access to it in 2010. The events are believed to have been held around early December of 2007 - the second drop party event is recorded as the last drop party before Jagex removed free trade from RuneScape, which occurred on 10 December 2007. As anniversary days generally have between 2 and 4 events, it is reasonable to presume the 2007 anniversary lasted for at least 2 days. The first three events after the Veteran War were open to non-clan member players, and is likely that they were all held on the same day based on the website gallery captions.

During His Lordship's holiday to Europe in January 2008, Dorcha3377 (Jenny, the next-in-charge staff member) attempted to host some anniversary events - it is not clear why, if the 2007 anniversary had already been completed.[2]
