The 2nd Golden Age began with members of the 2nd COMMUNISM coming back together on the Darkspear US server and founding the guild, Friend Zone. On paper, this was the groups peak in WoW, with the guild eventually becoming the best guild on the entire server, beating out several other much older and established guilds. The concept of branching out into other games was also established during this age, with [[FriendCraft]].

When Prude returned just a month or so after Friend Zone was lost, a new Golden Age began to emerge as [[Pigeon]] was soon brought into the fold, and the group transferred from Darkspear US to Lightninghoof US and established a COMMUNISM guild there.

The longest, and arguably greatest Golden Age of the COMMIEVERSE began when multiple clans from [[Goon Playground]], including [[GAY]], merged to create a megaclan on non-[[Goon]] servers. Historians debate the exact beginning of the Golden Age, as BMW was only tangibly related to the COMMIEVERSE in the early months. Also debated is the length, due to the 2015 Hiatus from September to November of 2015. However, as has been pointed out, a Golden Age is about the activity level and general enthusiasm of the group, and not necessarily the group itself, as during the Hiatus, COMMIE CREW saw a brief resurgence due to new blood trickling in from BMW.

After [[The Great Slump of 2017]], many ideas were put forward on how to revitalize the group. The first was dropping the Wrongthink branding and shortening to exclusively WTT, and to also add nights where the group would schedule games or movies. Thus, the 5th Golden Age began. Every Saturday night was movie night, followed by some sort of scheduled game like ArmA or Stellaris.

The most recent Golden Age began after the end of [[Clown World War I]] and [[Jack|Jacks]] return, right on the heels of [[The Sauce Affair]]. With [[AlexanderDeLarge]] now the sole leader, he brought back the BMW Calendar and the weekly schedule of activitys. Movie night began again, and [[WEIRD WEDNESDAYS]] were brought back as well. Voice chat was active like it hadnt been since 2016 and a small group even began venturing back into [[Rust]].
