What the heck does "PUG" mean?

what does pug mean? form what i've read, im guessing it means creating a large group to collect armor and such in a quest??? anyone mind tellin me

PUG = Pick Up Group

Like Valerius a PUG is a group of random ppl. Unless you have a lot of friends or are in a big guild, you will play the game using PUGs

Or henchies if you are sensible....


PuG's - 'shudder'

It's a game/fad that got popular early 90's. Basically some lady thought it'd be fun to take milk bottle caps, stack them, then knock them down with another milk bottle cap. Soon kids showed interests so companies started painting pictures on them like pokemons and power rangers and frickin tony the tiger. Soon 10 year olds everywhere were gobbling them up like candy and battling over them, gotta-catchem-all-like in back alley style arenas where ragtag groups would gather to smash their milk caps together until only 1 stood victorious. Unfortunately, this "game" brought the worst out of children..... violence, rage, greed, even sin when they released the "adult" oriented versions with drawings of swastikas and penises, ect. It tought our children to NOT think for themselves, just follow along because it was the "cool" thing to do. Eventually, the novelty wore off because everybody realized it was kinda dumb and not worth the effort and...... oh wait. Sorry I thought you said POGs. hehe my bad.

PUGs........ same as above, minus the milk bottle caps.

I HATE PUGs.

Try and get in a guild, thats the best way. You never know what kinda funky people you can meet in PUGs; there are the morons, the little kids acting like a**holes, and the insanes.

I prefer to do every quests and almost everything else with a few guildies after I got into a guild

PUG - Peoples Undenying Grief

How about : Poor /cough idiotds /cough Unbelivable /cough morons /cough Gripe-buddies ??

I really s--- on jokes and junk...

They're basically random people that can be vrey irritating, annoying, and most of all they generally play like c---! I'll agree with Crom the Conqueror, get into a guild ASAP (one that you like) and then do quests/missions/PvP with them. Unless you have some long friend list you can turn to, they work also.

This question comes from someone advertising his services to help others thru missions, yet you are at a loss to the meaning of one of the most basic, often used acronym going ??? How does one get thru the whole game without learning that PUG means pick up group , ah well only you know the answer to that one......
As for the rest of you PuG haters, I hear more whining in the guild I belong too than I hear on this board, Ive been in PUGS that have done 6 missions in a row, cleared the FoW, and the UW. Had great times and made friends that I play with still on occasion. Bascially it comes down to whether you are able to adapt quickly to other techniques and styles of play, if you can, and you like excitement, youll have lots of fun in PUGS, they also have their downsides, as do all groups, even guild groups. Ive belonged to 2 different guilds, and what I find in both of them is, the minute the people are in a guild, they seem to magically become better players, and they can criticise everyone elses play as being inferior to his/her. If a guild happens to be made up of a group of close friends its even worse, then you get the us and them happening right in the guild, great fun..... So basically IMO PuGS, and Guild groups are rather similar. I guess Guild groups could be more akin to grouping with henchies, in that at least you have an idea what the player will probably play like. Guilds can be great if you get a great one(good luck), but there are just as many crappy guilds as there are crappy PUGS.

its the ppl you find in towns saying "LFG...."

thats your average PUG.

Those are called Pogs not pugs silly ^^. Sorry for the off Topic Post
