The Family by Vio, 2020, showing all clans with WG as a common ancestor.

An exodus is an event where a significant number of members leave a clan and subsequently form a clan of their own. While the phrase mass-leave is more commonly used to describe the departure of a large number of players within a considerably short timeframe, the term "exodus" specifically refers to a new clan created by all or the majority of the leaving members (also called a breakaway clan); when the group of players joins a pre-existing clan or go their separate ways, it is simply referred to as a "mass-leave". The first recorded use of the term "exodus" to describe a mass-leave was on 30 December 2004, when a large amount of players resigned from WG following a public post by His Lordship critical of the U.S.A., resulting in the foundation of The Revolution.[1]

The Wilderness Guardians has sustained several exodi over the course of its history, and several of the subsequent clans have sustained exodi of their own. Relationships with exodi vary - some have become allies and others rivals. The first and most successful exodus in terms of in-game strength was The Synergy (ranked #24 in 2006), while the longest-surviving is Oak Island Pirates (14 years as of 2020). The most recent exodus was Nothing Left (founded in 2019).

First Generation Clans

All of the first generation clans are exodi from Wilderness Guardians, except Oak Island Pirates which is an exodus of Descendant Guardians.

The status of Valeria Victrix (VV) as a direct relative of WG is up for debate - it is believed that several members of The Synergy's junior clan The Synergizers joined the pre-existing VV. This would be considered a "mass-leave" rather than a "breakaway clan" - however details surrounding the event are unclear.

Third Generation Clans

Only one third generation clan is known to have existed - Raining Chaos, an exodus of The Crusade, which was an exodus of The Synergy, which was an exodus of WG.
