One of the first happenings of 2021 was CST launching the new [[World of Warcraft]] raid team, marking the first such crew in [[The WIDEVERSE]] since 2013. On January 2nd the team soft launched with a Saturday afternoon raid of the Ulduar timewalking raid, and the next had its official start on January 9th in Castle Nathria. The team enjoyed relative success, even coming within striking distance of competing with the main [[ATB]] raid team. However, with the second patch of Shadowlands, it was becoming all too clear that Blizzard was fumbling the bag with the expansion, and interest in the game as a whole began waning. Coupled with Blizzards legal and PR woes, WIDEFORCE was forced into a short hiatus before being disbanded in its entirety for the foreseeable future. | |||
=== 2021 Slump === | === 2021 Slump === | ||
With WIDEFORCE in the shitter and [[New World]] gearing up to be a complete and total flop (Spoiler alert: It was), The WIDEBOYS found themselves in a pickle. All the great plans of 2021 had found themselves outright cancelled before even the middle of the year, with nothing on the horizon. In conjunction with [[BEEFYTV]] being shut down, gang activity hit an all time low. | |||

The slump was mostly abated by late May, when in one of the great twists of WIDEVERSE history, Taylor convinced the Biggers to download and play [[Apex Legends]] after being brainwashed by Vtubers into enjoying it. Many Biggers joined in and found that the game was not the piece of shit they remembered from launch in 2019, and after a few weeks, was being played almost all day by many members of the community. The game even served as a way to integrate rookies into the group, ala [[KDB]]. Interest began waning after the launch of the new season and the release of a new overpowered Legend, as well as [[FFXIV]] heating up in popularity. | |||

In early August, Prude began getting the WIDEBOYS back into Guild Wars 2, in anticipation of the new expansion in February of 2022. He began attempts to take the original guild, SAURKRAUT, back from [[Future]], but to no avail. The executive decision was made to tell Future to go fuck himself, and after [[DrCoathanger]] graciously donated his own guild that was at the same level of progress, Taylor kicked everyone from the old guild and the newly acquired guild was renamed to WIDEBOYS. | |||

October saw the return of a Minecraft server to The WIDEVERSE. Originally intended just as a rehost of the earlier [[Gorzhakcraft]], Taylor began engineering the server into one that would never require a wipe, essentially creating a persistent universe. | |||
