From 12-Year-Old Dreams to Wedding-Day Reality: a Legendary Tune Reborn

The AQWorlds Song by Wulff Hunter and The XGuardian

I know I’ve been saying this for years, but it’s the Tog’s-honest truth: the Artix community never ceases to amaze us! And when we say AQWorlds inspires creativity beyond the browser, we really, truly mean it. Don’t believe me? Just ask Jared Rand, better known as Wulff Hunter in the lands of Lore. At just 12 years old, he started playing AQW and immediately pulled in his sister and cousins to join in on the fun. Gotta admit, I’m totally guilty of such things too 😏 But Wulff Hunter & friends didn’t just play the game… they formed a freakin’ band, “The Ebil Dread Paladins,” and composed the appropriately named “AQWorlds Song.”

It was an ~adorable~ first attempt, and it even got a response from Artix himself! Suffice to say, the song became a cherished — and hilarious — memory, often dusted off and played at Shabbat dinners.

Family is super effective at embarrassing us, huh? 🙈

Fast forward 16 years: Wulff Hunter has become a software engineer, his sister and cousins have grown into their own paths, and The Ebil Dread Paladins seemed like a distant memory. But fate had one more surprise in store! 

At Wulff Hunter’s IRL wedding on May 18th, his best man — The XGuardian, hailed in the real world as Tyler Simmons — gave him the ultimate gift: a fully remastered version of their old song! Tyler had re-recorded all of the music with the band’s original singers, save for Wulff Hunter’s lines, which he managed to extract from the mangled original audio. 

The updated “AQWorlds Song” turned the dance floor into a celebration of childhood memories, loads of laughter, and a heartwarming homage to the game that started it all. Witness the wonderful moment for yourself via their YouTube video:

I can’t get over how downright adorable and touching this is. I’m practically squealing with excitement over here… and that’s not just the 9 cups of coffee talking. Probably 🤩☕💞

Thank You Wulff Hunter and The XGuardian!

A huge thank you to Wulff Hunter, The XGuardian, and their family for sharing this story and the brand-new song recording with us and the entire Artix community! Your love for AQWorlds shines through every note, and we’re beyond honored to feature this special moment with the world we all know and love.

Rock out and battle on!

Beleen Sings!

The 100% Tone-Deaf Pinkomancer sings a song about Account Protection, Hackers, and Password Security!

Hi I'm Beleen, and I'm singing a song about the terms and the rules so we can all get along. Having your account hacked, I think you'd agree, is uber lame, so sing this song with me!

When you share your password

Your account will get hacked

All your stuff will get stolen

And they won't give it back

So when another player

Asks your password

You know that they're a hacker

And their claims are absurd

They wont give you gold

Nor will they make you Mod

so when they claim these things

You know it's a fraud!

Your password is a secret

So be prepared 

To /report anyone

Who wants you to share.

‘Cuz they will steal your account 

And they wont give it back

So you gatta keep it smart

And /report them, stat!

So now it's up to you 

And every boy and girl

To never share your password

For AQ Worlds!
