I just remembered that the term mage didn’t exist before WoW

Does it actually mean magician because aren’t mages in WoW more like wizards

[paisley]

It confuses me when people say mage, I’m like, do they mean a fucking magician? I don’t see mage on the class list, fuckfaces.

Mage is abbreviation of magician…

Interestingly “interestingly” SOE/Verant used ‘magi’ to mean the int caster archetype.

IDK how accurate that is. I never saw anyone call a magician a mage until after WoW came out. Actually remember getting cursed out for calling mages "magicians" on WoW when it first released and had people lecture me about mage meaning magic user.

According to WoW their mages are wizards, so like, IDK dude.

Ive seen "mage class" in various MMOs and MOBAs refer to basically any type of pure magic caster, the same way you have the fighter classes, priest classes etc.

i know what people mean when they say mage of course, for the same reason i know what a shammy or chanter means, but i dont think people were running around in 1999 calling magicians mages lol

i think that was picked up after the release of WoW even though it never originally referred to magicians

i just checked, and even everquest lore refers to miragul as a powerful mage btw even though we know him as a necromancer

[magnetaress]

naw tank mages existed b4 in the lord british game ultima onine and in a few other ones just ur a nerd and not a cool chad so u called urself a wizard

[magnetaress]

mage is shorthand for magician which contemporarily is not a magic user and is more a clever boi/girl and slight of hand user

[magnetaress]

but ya i think wow really turned it into an archetype, it was a class in EQ and the connotationoning of summoning stuff is a mage thing too from more of the conjuration school "conjurer' doesn't roll of the tung like 'magician'
