The 2nd Golden Age began with members of the 2nd COMMUNISM coming back together on the Darkspear US server and founding the guild, Friend Zone. On paper, this was the groups peak in WoW, with the guild eventually becoming the best guild on the entire server, beating out several other much older and established guilds. The concept of branching out into other games was also established during this age, with [[FriendCraft]]. | The 2nd Golden Age began with members of the 2nd COMMUNISM coming back together on the Darkspear US server and founding the guild, Friend Zone.

The longest, and arguably greatest Golden Age of the | The longest, and arguably greatest Golden Age of the WIDEVERSE began when multiple clans from [[Goon Playground]], including [[GAY]], merged to create a megaclan on non-[[Goon]] servers. Historians debate the exact beginning of the Golden Age, as BMW was only tangibly related to the WIDEVERSE in the early months. Also debated is the length, due to the 2015 Hiatus from September to November of 2015. However, as has been pointed out, a Golden Age is about the activity level and general enthusiasm of the group, and not necessarily the group itself, as during the Hiatus, COMMIE CREW saw a brief resurgence due to new blood trickling in from BMW. | ||
The age continued after the hiatus, with Taylor assuming direct control of the group and the Rust clan continuing its streak of dominance. However, after 10 months, the age would end after the failure of the Rusticity Clone server due to massive DDoS attacks. | The age continued after the hiatus, with Taylor assuming direct control of the group and the Rust clan continuing its streak of dominance.
