LFG, LFM & LF#M – Term Explanations for Group Finding in MMOs

What does it mean to “LFG/LFM” in MMO or group context?

• LFG (Looking for Group): A player is searching for a pre-existing group to join.
• LFM (Looking for More): A partial group is seeking additional members to fill specific roles.
• LF#M (Looking for [Number] More): More specific variation—e.g., “LF2M for raid” indicates the group needs two more players.

How to “LFG/LFM” effectively?

• State Your Role or Requirement: If you’re LFG, mention your class/role and level. If you’re LFM, specify which roles or how many slots remain.
• Give Time & Activity: Let people know how long you plan to run the content and which activity it is (dungeon, raid, PvP, questing).
