Exar_reborn Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 This happens with ALL Mmorpgs, now we haven't all been in the game officially but theres still words on the boards. So i think we should make a little guide if you will of slang terms we've made for things so that people new to the boards (and later on, to the game) will know what people are talking about. B/c when i entered ac or ac2 I had no idea what people were talking about. "hey dude can you throw me some buffs yada yada" So lets hear what we have. and after awhile we'll put it into a big guide.
-=ReApEr=- Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 Ok well ill list the obvious ones g2g=Got to go. gg=Good game. gf=Good fight. n1=Nice one. Lo=Hello. Well that's my bit
Exar_reborn Posted April 30, 2003 Author Posted April 30, 2003 some more basic ones: Ty = Thankyou yw = you welcome the other ones i've heard: imp = imperial reb = rebel tran = trandoshan Bh = bounty hunter
swphreak Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 I thougt hello was just "hi?" i mean come on! It's 2 letters. the same amount as "Lo." Ok, I got that ut of my system wtf? - what the fudge? sup - wassup, what's up, or in my case hello
Jan Gaarni Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 Quote I thougt hello was just "hi?" i mean come on! It's 2 letters. the same amount as "Lo." Actually, lo derives from ello, which again derives from the word Hello. *watches as StarWarsPhreak pulls his hair out of the stupidety* Ok, some other variants: gtg: same as g2g (Got to go) n1: can also mean Anyone (or is it ne1?) lol: Laughing Out Loud rofl: Rolling On Floor Laughing lmao: Laughing My Ass Off or a combination, roflmao: Rolling On Floor Laughing My Ass Off
swphreak Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 n00b - we all know this one. noobie, newbie, new guy, fresh meant muwahaha a new one I learned at the zone: lwr - luanch when ready
waffleman Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 Well, Ihavea couple stfu = shut the fudge omg = oh my God cmpr = camper (not big in MMORPG)
Jackrabbit Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 The problem with g2g and gtg, it means something different in DAoC. People would always say it when we were resting, and I'd say, "Alright, see you later," and they'd just sit there. What they were really saying was Good to go, signaling they were ready to start fighting again. Some of these work all around (AIM and other messengers, message boards, yada...yada) ttyl - Talk To You Later camper - We keep saying it, but I think it should be explained for the super noobs. It's a person who stays in one spot, waiting for "mobs" to spawn, so they can kill them and get the "phat lewt". mob - "Mobile". Any enemy. pull - "Grab" an enemy, pull him to the group, and away from other enemies. Usually the job of the "tank" tank - The character who has a lot of HP, or a high "AC", and usually pulls mobs, because he has a lower chance of dying. HP & AC - Hit Points & Armor Class
waffleman Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 what game is that again? It must be quite complex if your using gorilla tactics. Sounds fun
Jackrabbit Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 This is your standard MMORPG tactic. It started in EQ (well, maybe UO, I didn't play it that much), and is now the norm. Tank Attacks Tank runs back to Group Tank Attacks Group Attacks Respawning mobs are too far away to "aggro" aggro - Aggression. When a mob decides to "attk" you. Ex. WTF!? He aggroed me when I was at the cloner! or Don't get too close, he's aggro. Shows either that the mob will attk, or he has attked. attk - My personal abbreviation for attack. I don't know if anybody uses it.
Kaiser Spaso Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 ne1 should be used for anyone instead of making n1 have a double meaning.
Jackrabbit Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 Yeah, I like ne1 better. lfg - Looking for Group LD - Link Dead or Link Death. When somebody looses connection with the server.
setsuko Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 ack - acknowledged kiting - attacking something at range, and then back away while it charges you, while your group turns it to shreds with ranged attacks
little brother Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 I think im just going to speak common english. Slang makes you sound Illiterate sometimes.
Exar_reborn Posted May 1, 2003 Author Posted May 1, 2003 I just remembered fellow: Fellowship But I don't know if we can fellowship in this game (a hunting group that would share xp with eachother)
setsuko Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 When you have a rancor breathing down your neck, stoormtroopers firing all around you, and you're bleeding really bad, you don't want to spend ten seconds typing. That's what all these abbrevations comes from: lack of time. So yes, they have their uses, even if you sound silly at times. Just keep away from using them when there is no need for it, ok?
Jackrabbit Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Yeah, there are fellowships Exar, but they're given the simple name of group. That's what lfg is all about. 20th lvl rogue lfg!
The Punisher Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 HELLO! I do belive we are forgeting the two most important slag terms: SWG : Star Wars Galaxies Devs : Developers
Jackrabbit Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Funny, I've never heard that one . Train(!) - When somebody is being chased by a mob or mobs. In EQ they would "train" them to the zone border, and when they zoned they would be safe. This wasn't very good though, because everybody sitting at the zone border would be attacked after the person zoned. In DAoC the mob would return to their original spot instead of attacking, and in SWG, most creatures wont aggro on the zone sitters unless they attack it. If you hear somebody yell "Krayt TRAIN to zone!" though, move.
Jan Gaarni Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Quote If you hear somebody yell "Krayt TRAIN to zone!" though, move. Small understatment. Don't just move. Run! Run as fast as your legs can carry you. Same goes for Rancor train. Actually, even more so, cause they hunt in packs usually.
