GAMING TERM
1. The act of bring more
force than what is needed to defeat the enemy, making a fair fight not so fair anymore.
2. A group of gamers in the act of killing any enemy whether he be alone, have friends or be level 10 or level
50.
This does not
mean, 1v1, 3v3, 6v6, or any form of even/fair fight.
Boating would be a 1v1 only to have your enemy call for help from 2 others making it 1v3.
or minding your own business and 6 guys come out and destroy you.
It is believed to be derived from the word "Boatload".
As in, "I WILL BRING A BOATLOAD!"
The term Boating seems to originate on the
Ariel server of Aion Online.
Similar to Zerging but unlike Zerging the
force does not have to be a lot of low level / weak characters but any level, strong or weak.
Though boating is not against any rules(At least not in Aion) it is frowned up by many. It's
fine to
get a little
mad when it happens to you but just remember, you would do it too.
