People have found MMO meanings for raids that coincidentally have no common ground in incorporating your "multi-group events" phrase or even paraphrasing it.

Lets see here.

" raid is a type of mission in a video game in which either a very large number of people (larger than the normal team size set by the game), or a small number of people with exceptional skill, attempt to defeat a boss monster of a higher magnitude of difficulty than other monsters found within the game world. This type of objective is most common in MMORPGs, where the servers are designed to handle the number of users. In RTS games like StarCraft, the term is used differently; see Raid (military)." - Leaving in the edit someone made recently, presumably as a result of this thread, because it applies to old raids that are one group-able or soloable. This one points at being multi-party.

"A more substantial engagement involving a large organized group of players typically set in a dungeon and involving difficult bosses." Large group is not going to be your Full Party, it is going to be more. Multi-party again.

"raid

Often used with mmorpgs. It involves players banding together to succeed at a common goal- such as taking over territory, killing an opposing faction, or most commonly killing big scary internet monsters that drop coveted items.

It can be used as a noun or verb, noun referring a specific event, and in verbage, the act of embarking on that event.

A: We've scheduled a Black Temple raid tonight. You coming?
B: I can't raid, I gotta get laid!
A: No epix or dkp for you! "
No comment on size or number of players.

"Raid .
A raid is a large-scale attack on an area by a group of players."
Again, large scale. As in, more than one of the game's groups. Again meaning multi-party.

ONE of those definitions cited earlier in the thread made no mention of size, and the other THREE do, each pointing at a large scale, many peopled event.

Care to be wrong again?
