EMPIRE was the next one. There BMW found a familiar face in a player named Hef, who played against BMW on an earlier server for a long time. Somehow, he managed to worm his way into Woofingtons Discord. This caused the leaders of BMW to readdress the Discord situation, and in a long overdue move, BMW created its own. This is where BMW really took off as its own community. EMPIRE ended up being a dead server. | EMPIRE was the next one.

For the 3rd time, BMW went to Boondocks. 306 was nowhere to be found this time, so BMW had complete reign over the server. However, 4 days into the wipe, the server began locking up for 15 minutes at a time. The decision was made to go back to Uprising Prime, which had regained a good bit of its population. Certain admins there were starting to get sketchy, so BMW astroturfed a Reddit thread complaining and got the sketchiest of them fired. Taylor got EAC banned from Rust a few weeks later, however. This effectively killed BMW in Rust. | For the 3rd time, BMW went to Boondocks. 306 was nowhere to be found this time, so BMW had complete reign over the server.

Taylor eventually repurchased Rust and BMW tried to restart Bishyalers server, unsuccessfully. | |||
In September of 2016, Lev, now named Lions, brought Rusticity back from the grave, again. BMW quickly became the powerhouse clan and was wiping entire sides of the map. In typical Lev fashion though, this lasted for all of 3 weeks before he decided to shut it down again. This time however, BMW had a plan. Taylor and Bishyaler got together and made a clone of the Rusticity server a few days before it went down, so on wipe day they brought the server up and immediately had 80~ people online. For some reason that has yet to be uncovered by modern psychology, Lev was enraged at this, and spent 100s of dollars on a botnet to DDOS the server, forcing Taylor and Bishyaler and move the server several times. The damage was already done, and the next wipe, no more than 30 people logged in on wipe day. This proved to be a massive blow to BMW, eventually resulting in several members and admins quitting. Rust again, for BMW, was dead. | |||
