Fear (sometimes stylised as FEAR) was a clan founded in March 2003. Although initially hostile towards the Wilderness Guardians, a successful alliance between the clans was formed in December 2004 which lasted until June 2006, just before Fear's closure.
Formation and Rivalry
Fear was founded by Mikdan3 and Wyatt X in March 2003. The clan opened to a considerable amount of success, and rapidly made their way up the ranks of F2P clans. By the summer of 2004 they were considerably larger and more powerful than WG[1], reaching over 200 members before the end of the year.[2]
It is considered to be coincidental that Fear and WG would amass for their PK trips on the same world, at around the same time.[3] The result of this was a considerable amount of encounters and fights between WG and Fear over the course of summer and autumn 2004. In the vast majority of engagements, WG would be unable to contend with Fear's numbers and strength, though on occasion WG saw occasional victories over Fear with the help of external support, such as from WG's allies The Synergy.[4] Even so, the constant fighting with Fear resulted in significant hostilities being exchanged and a rivalry forming between the two clans, with the disparity in their strength created a growing sense of anger and displeasure throughout WG.[5] Despite His Lordship's attempts to engage in diplomatic talks and negotiate peace with Fear, fighting between the clans continued throughout September and October of 2004.[6].
In late October 2004, WG member Mochacho456 began plans to establish a team of high-levelled players with the sole intention of becoming a force capable of fighting Fear. Known simply as The Uprising, plans for the team were approved by His Lordship, and would have been supported by WG's allies - Syn and The Scorpions - in a battle intended to have occured in mid-November.[7] However, it is believed that these plans and the central issue of Fear were reprioritised as a result of hostilities and WG's first planned war against the Rune Outlaws taking place in November.
Alliance
On 24 December 2005, following the events surrounding Write2brandy and WG's subsequent declaration of war and call for public support, Mikdan3 posted on the WG forums to address the relationship between WG and Fear. He revealed that Fear had also undergone several hardships including the deletion of their forums, and the loss of over 13,000,000 coins in value from the clan's bank account. A WG co-leader had spoken to Mikdan3 requesting Fear's assistance against RO, and Mikdan3 apologised for previous hostilities between WG and Fear, and accepted the proposed offer of an alliance. WG and Fear became allies on Christmas Eve, 2004.[8]
