I believe "Zerging" (Follow the Zerg) is indeed a reference to Starcraft, but basically means follow the mass of people to assist in taking the next base. It's a reference to the masses. Is this correct peeps? If I am wrong then correct me please.

Yeah, a "Zerg Rush" or "Zerging" is basically when 100+ people just move around in large groups, swarming bases in shear numbers rather then through tactics. Sometimes, continents can be locked and you'll find every possible person your empire can fit just swarming one base. Some of the larger outfits out there tend to move around in this fashion... you know which ones. They have 200-1000 members.

For those who never played Starcraft, the Zerg were one of three races you got to chose. Unlike the others, the Zerg units were cheap and sometimes constructed two at a time, allowing you to overwhelm your opponent in shear numbers rather then through using unique units.

Sunderer = Party Bus

Sunderer = Bang Bus in my outfit.

They cheer everytime we ram something and roll back onto our wheels, and it's not uncommon to see some groups park this thing in front of bases to block of sections and just have engineers behind it while the gunners spam the area.

Still, don't see enough of them around...
