The 2005 Anniversary was a series of RuneScape 2 events held to celebrate the 1st birthday of the Wilderness Guardians. The actual events took place in 2006, almost 2 months later than expected[1] - though it was still a considerable success, with a series of 15 different events being held over the course of 5 days in January and February of 2006. 3 additional days were planned, but His Lordship was unable to host them.[2]

A video of the Veteran War was produced, but is no longer available.[3]
The Firefest
A Firefest was held in Falador, with many players from other clans invited.
The Public Drop Party

The Conga Line
The day concluded with a conga line involving hundreds of players throughout the game, and was alleged to be the largest conga line ever organised in RuneScape.
Day Two
Day Two consisted of 4 events: a photo shoot, a clan-only drop party, a fishing trawler event, and a duel arena event. The day lasted over four and a half hours.
The Photo Shoot
A photo shoot was held north of Falador, where members were provided black and white wizard robes and organised themselves into various formations: a checkerboard, square, and forming the WG initials. An "archer pose" of the clan all in black and wielding magic shortbows atop Lumbridge Castle referenced the previous year's photo shoot.
The 20 Million GP Drop Party
A private drop party for the clan members was held, with 20,000,000 coins worth of items being dropped on the top of Lumbridge Castle (prior to the Lumbridge bank being added to the game).
The Trawler Trip
Two successful rounds of Fishing Trawler were played.
The Duelling Contest
The day concluded with a duelling contest, for which Council members gave out coins to use as stakes.
Day Three
Day Three consisted of 3 events, under the theme of "Wildy Fr00bs" - a theme invented for the previous anniversary, but with different events.
The Market Crash
The clan dressed in black wizard robes and spammed the World 1 Varrock west bank (a popular trading area before the Grand Exchange) using toy horses.
The Dance Party
The clan performed various emotes in Falador centre, impressing many public spectators.
The Rubber Chicken War
The clan hosted an interclan war at the Chaos Temple in level 38 wilderness, using rubber chickens as weapons. Prizes were awarded to the last survivors.
Day Four
Day Four consisted of 2 events: the Clan Quest, and a hide-and-seek event. These were followed by an impromptu PK trip - although there are no screenshots from the PK trip or hide-and-seek.
Da Lordy Code (Clan Quest)
His Lordship provided a series of clues and a master riddle as to his in-game location - he was ultimately found at the top of Trollweiss Mountain.
The Hide and Seek
Similar to the Clan Quest, His Lordship hid in various in-game location and provided clues for the members to try and find him. No screenshots were saved for this event, although 1,800,000 in coins was handed out for the finders.
