A
collaboration between the fictional leader of the
Continental Army - Henry 'Harry' Burwell from
The Patriots (2000) film, and the informal meeting of an overwhelming force of weak and smaller units to undertake any task, simple or otherwise.
The idea originated when the peak concurrent population from the video game New World was in decline, and more organization was required in order to find people and progress through the game. While skeptical at first, more players started to join the ranks of a recurrent world tour looting event, that helped everyone involved regardless of the faction alignment.
With a large number of regulars attending this event, the later concept of a zerg was derived from the Starcraft franchise, where a cheap unit that would be weak alone, can swarm together through much stronger enemies.
Now that the home server of Harry has been merged with a new unsuspecting player base, the swarm grows yet again. Consuming everything in its path, no one is safe from a good time, and fat loot!
