This incarnation of COMMUNISM lasted for a few months, attempting to raid and attempting to retain dominance in Trade chat, but the social and raiding scene had changed too much for Spaceballs and Shelarahn and too many of their members were young upstarts ready to get ahead and many members were lost to more dedicated raiding guilds like <lmperium> or <Kill Order>. Eventually the guild fell back into obscurity as the members went their separate ways. It's at this point that Spaceballs more or less exits the history of COMMUNISM. Several months after the guild fell apart, Spaceballs attempted to sell the guild in Trade chat, but it was bought by Shelarahn for 10,000 gold. Shelarahn half ass attempted the revive the guild himself, but was unable to. | This incarnation of COMMUNISM lasted for a few months, attempting to raid and attempting to retain dominance in Trade chat, but the social and raiding scene had changed too much for Spaceballs and Shelarahn and too many of their members were young upstarts ready to get ahead and many members were lost to more dedicated raiding guilds like <lmperium> or <Kill Order>.

==Dark Era (2010-2012)== | |||
The first few generations of COMMUNISM had moved on. The original GM and officers were nowhere to be found, Shelarahn went to college and stopped playing WoW, Jorgan continued raiding, and Prude had a quarter life crisis after high school. (who hasn't?). When Shelarahn went to college, he gave the guild to a random officer he had recruited during the failed resurrection. This officer later quit or was attempting to give the guild away when Petrus, an officer in <Guns for Hire> who had always been a fan of COMMUNISM, took the guild and became its caretaker. | The first few generations of COMMUNISM had moved on.

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. | 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.

==NEW COMMUNISM Era - Return to Prominence and Third Golden Age (May 2014-2015)== | |||
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. | 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.

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.

2015 started with an attempt to run a Rust server. Although initially successful, interest within the group and with Rust as a whole was low. After two months, the project was abandoned. In March however, the COMMIES revisited Rust and were active on several servers for a few weeks before going into a hiatus again. | 2015 started with an attempt to run a Rust server.
