Gank

"Gank" comes from the phrase "gang kill" and refers to the practice of multiple players ganging up to kill a single player or NPC. For example, in GvG players sometimes try to gank the opposing side's Guild Lord in an attempt to achieve a fast victory. Along with this, "Gank" has multiple other meanings, one of these being when a party gets heavily outmatched in numbers while in a PvE environment or in a PvP environment. Gank is also a term which includes the practice of sending one or more players around a back path to attack the NPCs of one guild's base while the other remaining members attempt to distract the opposing team and keep them near a landmark or the center of the map. By killing off as many NPCs as possible, the gank has given its guild a large advantage at "Victory or Death!", an advantage which is often significant enough to give that guild the win. From this version of the term 'gank' comes the term 'anti-gank', which is simply a gank team designed to defend its base against, or kill, an opposing gank team.
