Shelarahn and Arkon met via mutual friends in the glory days of AIM chat and discovered mutual interest in a game called Runescape. During this time was when Shelarahn and Arkons ability to be total dicks was discovered, as together they shitted up multiple clans on Runescape, as well as running their own. Their first clan joined together was a shitty clan called Warriors Gate that was led by a very angry Arab man. The clan focused on PvP because Runescape was a dumb game with not much to do at the time. Several other people consisted of this "proto-group" including Arkons real life friend, Dark fire500 nicknamed Ol' Greasy and a kid named Lance from New Hampshire. | [[Shelarahn]] and [[Arkon]] met via mutual friends in the glory days of AIM chat and discovered mutual interest in a game called Runescape.

The goal of the guild was essentially to piss off as many people as possible and to attract like minded individuals to do the same. COMMUNISM began dabbling in some light Karazhan raiding, but couldn't really get past Moroes because they sucked and Spaceballs couldn't lead worth a shit. The guild was fairly infamous on Gorgonnash from its inception given their proclivity for pissing people off and starting giant flame wars on the forums, as well as their memorable Auchindoun battles with <Serenity> and their leader, Georgepatton. Around this time, the leadership of COMMUNISM comprised of Spaceballs as GM, Malade who was dating Spaceballs at the time as co-GM, and Icarus as Spaceballs right hand man. Other memorable members included TJfrost, Donbrasher, Trance, and Prophetomega. (Many of these names and more from that time can be seen in the screenshot below.) | ||
Towards the end of Summer 2007, two members by the name of Arkon and Shelarahn joined COMMUNISM, attracted by the no rules environment, and ready to make a name for themselves on Gorgonnash. Arkon was a drugged out hippie known to disappear for months at a time and Shelarahn was a socially retarded shut in, which was probably the key demographic for COMMUNISM back in the day. Arkon had been playing since around the time of launch, but Shelarahn had started only in November 2006 when Arkon convinced him to switch from Runescape. Arkon and Shelarahn over the next few months slowly formed what would later be referred to as "The Group", which was in essence just a clique in COMMUNISM for them to feel like they had some power. | Towards the end of Summer 2007, two members by the name of Arkon and Shelarahn joined COMMUNISM, attracted by the no rules environment, and ready to make a name for themselves on Gorgonnash.

Shelarahn had ascended to the role of officer in the guild, which led to frequent power plays with Spaceballs girlfriend, Malade. Eventually, the tension came to a head when Shelarahn refused Spaceballs order to disallow a dual boxer from raiding. Shelarahns raid group and a few others left COMMUNISM. They went on to form a guild named <Scholars and Gentlemen> that later failed miserably because Shelarahn also couldn't lead worth a shit. Shelarahn disbanded the guild and went back to one of the guilds he had been in prior to COMMUNISM, <Guns for Hire>. During the spring and summer of 2008, Shelarahn geared up and was recruited by <Damage Done>. After the dissolution of the main COMMUNISM raiding force, COMMUNISM went back to being just a jerk off guild while one by one the leadership quit. | ||
Later on in 2009, Spaceballs had come back to play and reformed COMMUNISM, with the intention of reclaiming the glory days (By glory days, we mean the days when we were shitty and everyone hated us). The new COMMUNISM was filled less with old players who loved to piss people off, but with sad try hards. Among these were Prudedruid, a moral relativist, Reckface, a pseudo white trash domestic violence repeat offender waiting to happen, Jessikuh, a girl who said she was a hot emo scene chick but in reality was just a sad fat lonely girl with more emotional problems than most psych ward patients (Protip: She totally e-dated and phone boned Spaceballs. True story, she will deny it but she totally did, we would love to tell you the whole story in Mumble, its hilarious!), Shaynuh, a girl who gets real fat then scary skinny. A few other no name people were also around at this time but they don't really matter in the long run of the narrative. The main thing to remember is that Jessikuh phone boned Spaceballs and her mom walked in on | Later on in 2009, Spaceballs had come back to play and reformed COMMUNISM, with the intention of reclaiming the glory days (By glory days, we mean the days when we were shitty and everyone hated us).

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. | In August, after realizing the devs of Wildstar had no idea how to run a game, COMMUNISM officially left Pergo to rot.

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. | 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.
