D-Day was a major historical event within the Wilderness Guardians.

Overview

D-Day was December 1st, 2006. Tmal34 and Twizlers300 had been promoted to leadership due to His Lordship's inactivity with real life concerns. The new leadership implicated the Purple Haze and Blue Haze operations, and raised the clan's requirements to 105+ combat. His Lordship disagreed with the changes made, and distanced himself from the clan. A tension rose between himself and the leadership which continued to grow. On December 1st, His Lordship announced in TeamSpeak to a few WildGuard members that he would be shutting down the clan. Despite requests for him to reconsider, the board (Z6 at the time) was taken offline, and a post was made concerning the closure of the clan on the RuneScape fansite Zybez.

The clan remained closed for a duration of around 3 hours, until His Lordship re-opened it on the same day. In the time, over 100 members had left the clan, or posted their goodbyes once the forum re-opened. A syndicate known as WildGuard United was created as a community for ex-WildGuard to join - over 100 members joined this as well. The day is known as "D-Day" (Taken from the Normandy landings of World War II), and was the single greatest mass-leaving which the clan has ever experienced. It is also the only time in which WG has disbanded.
