mossmere.9503 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I see this term used in here on a regular basis but I am not sure what it's referring to. Is this a guild or a server? (Yes, I used the search function first.) Is it a playstyle? Also, whatever it is, why is it so disliked? I read in here to learn more about WvW as I'm rather casual (just doing dailies mostly.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimm.5624 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Mag is short for Maguuma. Its a NA server. As all servers go it has it's own personality aspects internally and perceived. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a server. - And Mag is also now a community guild for alliance purposes - It’s also a ‘play style’ in that Maguuma has a very distinct culture which, as a small part involves clouding and avoiding Desert like the plague - Mag also has a certain…. Well, you kinda have to experience their team chat…. It’s very much ‘If you aren’t from them, you don’t belong..’. - Oh.. something something Mag Swag (though it’s not what it was) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossmere.9503 Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 Thank you both very much. Now these conversations will make a lot more sense. 🙂 Although Mag Swag has totally got my curiosity up. LOL What the heck is that? 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchonWing.9480 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) What is Mag? Well I hear they like Stonemist Castle a lot. According to what I've heard on the forums I think it's more like this: What is Mag?

Morden Kain.3489 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 What is Mag? Well, as a few have mentioned, it is the server Maguuma. It is also the Maguuma guild [MAG]. To understand Mag, you have to have been both paired with them, and played against them. When you play against them, they focus on getting SMC, and SMC only. They can lose their entire side of the map, and they will not care, as long as they get SMC (I have been party to both sides of that). Once they have SMC, they will camp out at the other entrances to SMC (opposite their side), taking on the other teams. Literally, you can take their entire side of the map except their keep, and they will not budge off SMC. This is their play style within EBG (where [MAG] camps out). Now, when you are paired with them, you get the above, with the added bonus of Team chat. It honestly will put sailors and trolls to shame. They take salt to a whole new level (see http://www.justahomestead.com/store/p30/Insidious_Grinder.html - the side says "Keep out of reach of children"). When paired with Maguuma, the first thing you will notice (besides the insidious salt/trolling), is that they blame whomever they are paired with as to why they can never accomplish anything. The second thing you will notice, they will intentionally throw a match if they are paired against Black Gate. Third thing to happen, Maguuma will let themselves fall multiple tiers just so they can spawn camp people. Now, before anyone says that I am upset or salty about Maguuma, I honestly enjoy being paired with them. I just turn off Team chat for the first few weeks. Also, [MAG] does do a really good job of protecting SMC, and their Keep when it is attacked. The spawn camping, I just walk away from (not my cup o' tea). This has just been my experience with both. 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossmere.9503 Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 I am sooooo glad I asked about Mag. This is a hilarious thread. Thank you everyone for your funny and informative answers! I know that curiosity (also known as Conner 🤣) killed the cat so I will go bat a mouse around or something instead as anything involving animal costumes and I'm out. I'm rarely ever on EBG so that explains why I know not much of nothing about this. Morden Kain: Thank you for the serious and indepth answer so I can shelve my curiosity and keep my 9 lives. They actually sound rather interesting and I might go for a wander into there if I ever notice being paired up with them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Its not fair to say they never leave SMC. At off-hours they take the enemy keep , build a bunch of trebuchets and then instantly explode any newbie who dares step foot out of spawn. Ah, those fond memories of maybe two players standing next to me ready to fight while an army of 40-50 players sit on the keep walls, drooling over a few bags. In fact they became so infamous for using speedy yaks to T3 all the structures and then camping spawn on my server that we'd all just log out to avoid playing their game. Then we figured out that they never played the Borderlands and always had wars there with the other server in the matchup all week long while both servers avoided EBG entirely., and life went on.

Okay, they never leave EBG 😉. I do not believe Maguuma knows there are other maps outside of EBG 😁. I could be wrong though.
