All.
Where did the word "massing" come from for description of smashing an opponent to pieces, because clearly the definition of massing is not what is used in game.
Mass attack, yes, but massing?.
Anyone?

Someone asked this question a while ago, and I think the answer they recieved is that the term just came here from other, earlier MMORPG games.

I believe it is from KoC, along with various other terms that we use in SGW, but it is possible that I am wrong.

A very unwise person. They should have copyrighted the phrase.

I think it came from Terminatorwars, And has been slightly lost in translation...
...It was a term Originaly used to describe "mass attacking" someone, i.e. Attacking on mass, As in, a group of people attacking one person.
Well, That was my understanding anyway, but i bet every person has a different storey to tell.

exactly buck, i remember in planetarion we used the term mass attacking when a group of ppl joined together to attack 1 person, but it wasnt turn based like sgw and koc are
