The 3rd Dark Age hit particularly swift and left a lasting impact in the wake of the success from the foundation of BMW in 2015 through the establishment of the BMW Discord and the antics of 2016. The failure of Conan left BMW leadership without plan nor direction going forward, and resentment and infighting began to afflict the upper echelon, resulting in GMach as well as other high ranking Bimmers leaving. While often cited as the cause of the slump itself, ironically it was the introduction and expansion of political centered chat that kept the group afloat and active in the darkest months.
 
While considered a Dark Age, it was not without happenings, such as many of the Biggers teaming up with [[TSS]] to continue the Rust legacy, as well as the introduction of [[Bimmercraft]].
