2005 was the second complete year of the Wilderness Guardians, and the first complete year of RuneScape 2.

Summary

In 2005, WG hosted more wars and started to build their reputation as a warring clan within the RuneScape clan world. The year began rough with a second exodus known as The Revolution causing WG to lose around 80 members in January, thought TR closed shortly after and many returned. WG raised their requirements to 80+ combat and a council was elected. In mid-2005 the clan had two major wars: one with The Unbreakables and one with Dead on Arrival - the latter being the first RuneScape war to make use of Ancient Magicks. His Lordship also made the infamous TeamSpeak Rant around this time as a result of a backstabbing incident - though both the video of the DoA war and the TeamSpeak rant served as a boost for WG's popularity and reputation. As a result of their continued progress and success, WG opened a junior clan, the Descendant Guardians.
