'''COMMUNISM''' (Rebranded to '''COMMIE CREW''' in 2015 then to '''GAY''' in Rust) was one of the three groups that merged to become [[BMW]], and also the originator group for the WIDEVERSE. COMMUNISM serves as the anchor point for the beginning of the groups history, as its foundation is seen as the single most important factor in bringing all the people into the group and put into motion most of the traditions and events that form the current zeitgeist.
'''COMMUNISM''' (Rebranded to '''COMMIE CREW''' in 2015 then briefly to '''GAY''' in Rust) and formerly the primary group of the [[WIDEVERSE]] until it merged with [[GM]] and [[FORD]] to become [[BMW]]. COMMUNISM serves as the anchor point for the beginning of the groups cohesive history, as its foundation is seen as the single most important factor in bringing all the people into the group and put into motion most of the traditions and events that form the current zeitgeist, to this day still being one of the most important movements in WIDEVERSE lore.

Shelarahn had spent Summer 2013 drifting through with no real goal. After losing his prized project, he was left with almost nothing except a handful of friends with very infrequent contact. Until in early August 2013, Prude messaged Shelarahn telling him of his breakup and return to California. The seeds of the rebirth of COMMUNISM had truly begun to grow. They reassembled fragments of the old group and some new friends into Mumble and began making plans for a comeback. It was then that the decision was made to once and for all tie The Group and COMMUNISM together as one entity.

At the suggestion of Dlight (a friend who was met in Friend Zone but later left), the group relocated to Lightninghoof and started a new COMMUNISM there. The guild was mildly successful given the population of the server which was low to near non-existent. The COMMUNISTS however gained no real ground and the interest quickly faded around December 2013. By April 2014, the group was all but dead again, with only sporadic Mumble meetings and no real interaction beyond that between the members.

The Third Golden Age saw the coming to fruition of a long term dream of COMMUNISM and its subsidiaries and projects: Successful branching into multiple games. The era saw COMMUNISM branch into Guild Wars 2, Rust, Destiny, Minecraft, Tera, and countless other games both MMO or otherwise.

By April 2014, the group was all but dead again, with only sporadic Mumble meetings and no real interaction beyond that between the members.


In late May 2014, the decision was made to move COMMUNISM to the brand new MMO, Wildstar. The push into Wildstar started slow, what with server queues and crashes, Shelarahn doing some church crap *tips fedora*, Devin being Devin. Business started to pick up however when COMMUNISM branched into the [[Pergo]] Realm Forums. Three people who would eventually become officers where quickly recruited: [[Dianic]], [[Gauze]], and [[Solgnir]]. The first several months of Wildstar where spend biding time, waiting for excitement about the game to wane and for people to realize that they werent going to get into great guilds and to become jaded, the exact demographic COMMUNISM aims for. [[COMMIECRAFT]] became a thing thanks to the efforts of Solgnir and his group of Minecraft friends. COMMUNISM also attracted non-guilded friends at this time too, with such regulars as [[BIGMAMABOUTOCOMETHROU]] and [[Sicari]], the weeaboo.

In August, after realizing the devs of Wildstar had no idea how to run a game, COMMUNISM officially left Pergo to rot. However, we had gained countless friends and influence from our time there and use it to transition into several different MMO's, including a relaunch of our WoW guild and expansion to [[Emerald Dream]].

COMMUNISM was met with great resistance because the community of Emerald Dream is literally the most autistic place in the world, but a niche was found and for a while it was good. Friends were made such as Jason and NightlyNews. After a few months, most everyone stopped playing again because WoW is still WoW and it’s hard to stay interested.
