The Info Wars began on January 17th, 2016, when Xiaoguard and Constantine created a guild named Graanonymous using two alternate accounts, both named Graanon. Graanonymous was founded in the immediate aftermath of the end of the Kingdom of Reuss, when Xiaoguard took control of Lord Caen's account and convinced Constantine to abdicate from Reuss. The purpose of Graanonymous was to collect, store, and trade information. While Graanonymous only lasted a few days, it left plenty of chaos in its wake.

They "doxxed" Arno and published other information on the Graanonymous website. Xiaoguard and Constantine later published an apology for the ordeal. Graanonymous marked the beginning of the popularization of collecting and storing personal information on players. The military community's population suffered greatly for some time due to the atmosphere that the Info Wars had created, and blackmail became commonplace.
