| − | The story of BoS actually starts without any of its current members, with a fellow by the name Amader. He, in turn, attracted Solver to the game and Einnel, Daash, Theacke, Madboy, Rmt and Tottman were soon to follow. The site where we all settled down was dubbed Wolf Hill, due to the frequence of said lupine at the site, even though it was too close to Serenity Port for an actual deed to be planted without permission. We asked for that from the Serenity Port mayor, but were rudely denied and so eventually we packed up and left for other lands.

| − | Amader, together with his RL friend Madonna, went separate ways from the rest of us and settled in the far north while the rest of us finally found ourselves at a tranquil bay in the south, approximately SSW of Mesa Verde, where we settled down and founded the [[Bay of Swedes]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Bay of Swedes]] was the name of our community, as most of us wanted their own homestead deed and founded them separately. With time, our reputation on the Home server grew and our gathering became widely known. During this time some of our members stopped playing, but most remained. Several ambitious projects were attempted, and some even completed ;), and by the end of its time the bay had been transformed into a lush park of walkways, flower fields and oak tree groves.

| | | | |
| − | With the advent of the Freedom server, and imminent closure of Home, the people of BoS packed up their bags and moved once more. Since we now had ships, the process was a bit easier this time. Arriving in freedom (09-06-17), we came upon a suitable island to the northeast of the main continent and swiftly claimed it as our own. This time we established a deed right away to cement our hold over the island. Since it wasn't an actual bay, we named it "BoS Island" in honor of our past and the reputation it held.
| + | As before, the primary language spoken in local is swedish and we apologize in advance to anyone passing by. |
| | | | |
| − | Time went by and we started to settle in, taming the area and mining caves in search of the treasured ores. This arrangement worked for a couple of weeks until opinions clashed and some of us decided to move and settle down near our old friend Riverboy(alt Lilbear). We started to make room for us and putting down our own deeds. Right about this time the concept of breeding where introduced in the game and the numbers of red animals went down fast and the hunting trips weren't that plentiful of game anymore.
| + | ==History== |
| | | | |
| − | So when the portals between freedom and wild open the 09-10-22 some of us took the chance and used it. Most of us went and the only remaining players originally from BoS on freedom are [[Player:Aske|Aske]] and [[Player:Daash|Daash]]. Even thou we have branched out and all of us aren't on the same world we still are one community and are linked together.
