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. | In September of 2016, Lev, now named Lions, brought Rusticity back from the grave, again.

During the summer of 2016 during a Rust lull, Rejdukien and Jack began hosting and running an ARMA 3 server using the Exile mod after BMW had spent some time on pubbie servers harassing people and almost getting banned. The server was a huge success for several months, attracting many pubbies. | During the summer of 2016 during a Rust lull, Rejdukien and Jack began hosting and running an ARMA 3 server using the Exile mod after BMW had spent some time on pubbie servers harassing people and almost getting banned.
