A Guild is born:
Born in Chaos, also known as BiC, was created in 2002 as a champ spawn guild in Ultima Online. Originally named Benevolent Insurgency of Chesapeake, I created the guild as a way for my husband, Jay, to enjoy the pvp and pve that champ spawn guilds offered.
Within a few short months of it's inception, BiC became the largest guild on the Chesapeake server. During our time in Ultima Online we held the spot for the largest guild on our server, and the 5th largest guild in the entire game. Jay and I were both extremely active in the devolopers community in UO and attended many UO Dev Meet UPs and meet and greets in the local Austin area. In 2004, we left Ultima Online and BiC moved over to World of Warcraft.
A new entity:
Once in WOW, BiC decided a name change was in order, and so we officially changed our name to Born in Chaos. The game was a bit different from what we were accustomed to, but we were successful in WOW nonetheless. Our pace was our own, and while we were not on par with some of the Uber guilds in WOW, we still successfully completed content and plowed through instances in our own time and speed. Jay and I decided to leave World of Warcraft in September of 2007. WOW BiC officially broke from us, changed their name to Nevermore and became their own entity. (http://www.nevermoreguild.org)
Moving on:
In September of 2007, Jay and I moved over to beta test Tabula Rasa. A few very trusted members quietly left WOW and moved over to TR in order to be with BiC. Sadly, our time in Tabula Rasa was short, as the game was unfinished, unpolished and left many of our members standing around wondering what the hell they were supposed to do in the game. By January of 2008, most of BiC had stopped playing TR and moved again.
Around mid January of 2008, BiC branched out into many guilds under the BiC Gaming banner. BiC was in Guild Wars, Tabula Rasa, Everquest 2, and City of Heros. I found that because I could not play in every game, I was losing some of the closeness that makes BiC what it is. Spreading us out was not conducive to BiC, so I brought us all back together for AoC, and disbanded all the other branches of BiC.
BiC's new home was now the Deathwhisper server of Age of Conan. We were back to the PvP that we loved, and had a VERY solid team of core members. We were working on our Tier 3 building in our city and had several members already at endgame and several more ALMOST there. However, the same issues arose that we had in TR, when our members hit end game and found themselves saying, "OK, now what??"
A return to WoW:
Today, BiC has returned to World of Warcraft and is playing on The Underbog server (Horde faction of course).
