Summarize this article for a 10 year old
In video games, a raid is a type of mission in Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) where a much larger number than usual of people specifically gather in an attempt to defeat either: (a) another number of people at player-vs-player (PVP), (b) a series of computer-controlled enemies (non-player characters; NPCs) in a player-vs-environment (PVE) battlefield, or (c) a very powerful boss (superboss). This type of objective usually occurs within an instance dungeon, a separate server instance from the other players in the game. A raid may be highly planned and coordinated or arise nearly spontaneously through word of mouth communications in- and out-of game.
