Nothing serious but a question I was curious about for some time:

Why is small scale group stuff called “havoc” in wvwvw?

I get that the term “Zerg” for large scale groups probably originated from StarCraft but where did “havoc” come from??!!

Think of it as a small group being a PITA to the other side wreaking havoc to their plans.

We call it havoc because its more about disrupting activities behind enemy lines than achieving any specific goal. Not sure the term comes from anywhere. If it does, probably daoc or something.

  • Zerg is = 20 to 40 players
  • A blob = 40 players to 80 players
  • A havoc group = up to 10 players whose primary purpose is to take camps and annoy the enemy with the secondary object of killing players
  • A roaming grp = a bunch of people 2 to 7ish whose sole aim is to kill with taking camps and towers as a secondary object
  • A duo = two players
  • GvG = around 15 or 20 players battling it out in an organised open field fight
  • Skirmishes = Ad hoc large scale fights
  • Fight club = 2 or players , 1v1 each other. Usually done away from the main travel routes.
