Western Progress began with a vision held by its founder, Bellz, to create a safe, welcoming space on the Fire Star AUS 1 server. Her goal was to introduce a fresh and unique approach to gameplay one that prioritised community, creativity, and inclusivity.
 

As the club concept developed, Bellz recognised the need for a co-owner and immediately knew her best friend, Kelly, would be the perfect fit. After sharing her ideas and long-term vision for Western Progress, Kelly enthusiastically accepted the role of Official Co-Owner. Bellz and Kelly had been close friends for a few years prior to the club’s creation and had remained connected both in game and in real life, frequently communicating and even planning trips to meet. Their bond continued to strengthen, built on mutual trust and a shared understanding that real-life commitments always come first.
 

As Western Progress approached its second year, the club continued to grow and evolve. While previous co owners had stepped away due to personal commitments, Bellz later offered co ownership to two individuals who had demonstrated long-standing loyalty, dedication, and alignment with the club’s values from near its beginning.
 

The first was Haley Northfield (Halz), who had been part of Western Progress since its earliest weeks. Her consistent commitment and dedication reflected the core values Bellz sought in a co-owner.
 

The second was Sakura Snowstar (Starla), whose dedication stood out from the very beginning. Starla became the first Wildee to train outside of scheduled club hours, consistently showing initiative, passion, and creativity. Through shared ideas and collaboration, a strong friendship developed between Bellz and Starla, one that extended beyond the game and into real life, where they met in person and continued building stronger, more innovative ideas for the future of Western Progress.
