London 2008 refers to the first Real Life Meeting event hosted by the RuneScape clan the Wilderness Guardians. It took place on 12 January 2008, and had 7 WG members and 2 guests present. Throughout the day the clan performed some pranks, visited Jagex's London headquarters, and consumed drugs and alcohol. As the first example of WG's real life meetings, the event gained popularity in the wider RuneScape community and served as a showcase for the clan's developing community aspect.

Attendees

7 WG members attended the meeting:

• His Lordship
• Cameronm123
• Groedius
• Holykier
• Jaxx456
• Snowzak
• Stokenut

Two of Jaxx456's real life friends also attended, bringing the total to 9 persons.

The Meeting

On the morning of 12 January 2008, the clan organised at Admiral Nelson's column in Trafalgar Square.

Aftermath

A video of the meeting was produced by His Lordship and released on 24 February 2008 - though a lot of footage had to be cut due to the 100MB file size restriction in place on YouTube at the time. Despite being initially popular, Jagex requested that His Lordship remove the video as it could potentially encourage other players to meet up unsafely in real life. His Lordship complied with the request at the time, but re-released the video in 2011 after two RuneFest events had been hosted by Jagex. The video was again made private at a later date, but reuploaded to a clan channel run by Vio in 2018.
