lisaluv 4 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 AE: Area Effect. Used to refer to area-effect spells or abilities. E.g. fireball, smoke grenade (gouge for rogues in Warspear) AFK: Away from keyboard AGRO: As a verb, it refers to a hostile mob that has noticed a player and is actively trying to attack that player. As a noun, it refers to the amount of “hostility” the player has generated on the mob. In typical combat strategy, the fighter tries to take as much aggro as possible away from weaker players such as healers and mages. ALT: Short for “alternate”. It refers to the alternate character a player has from their main character. This is not a stable category as sometimes alts can out level mains and sometimes mains become moth-balled. AOE: Same as AE. Area of Effect. Attribute: E.g. Strength, Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence, etc. Bind In certain MMOs, characters are teleported back to a safe spot when they die. This spot is predetermined by the user. The act of determining the safe spot requires an explicit action by the user. That action is known as a bind. The spot is typically referred to as a bind spot. BoE Short for “bind on equip” – This term refers to items that become soulbound to the player after they have been equipped. In other words, the item can be traded as long as no one equips it. BoP Short for “bind on pickup” – This term refers to items that become soulbound to the player after it has been picked up from a monster. In other words, the item cannot be traded once a player picks it up. BoP items commonly cause looting conflicts and disputes during game-play. BRB "be right back” Bot Generally illegal and discouraged form of gameplay, where actions of a character can be automated to perform actions repeatedly in order to gain experience and level without actual user intervention. This practice is continually monitored by GMs and will cause suspension of service if one is suspected of botting. BRT "be right there” BTW "by the way” Buff Temporary boost to character attribute or combat ability Camp(ing) The act of waiting in an area to hunt a specific mob or player. Class Professional archetypes. These would be warrior, healer, rogue and mage. The most typical class types are: close-range damage, ranged damage, healing, crowd control, support. Cleric Typical healing class in fantasy games. Corpse In certain MMOs, a corpse appears where the player died. Sometimes all the player’s items and money are left on the corpse and the player is teleported back to their bind spot. Corpses typically will decay after a certain time proportional the character’s level. Corpse Run The act of retrieving your corpse after you have died. This is typically a dangerous thing because people tend to die in dangerous places rather than safe places. Crafting A general category of skills that allows players to manufacture objects from raw resources Crit "To crit” refers to landing a critical hit either with melee or spells. Effective damage is usually increased from a base of 150% to upwards of 250% with extra talents/skills/buffs. Crowd Control Refers to a set of spells / abilities that temporarily paralyze or stun other mobs or players. Crowd control is an important group support ability when fighting multiple mobs or players. DD Direct Damage. Used to refer to a class of spells and abilities that allow players to damage enemies from a distance. The firebolt is the archetypal DD. Debuff The opposite of a buff. An offensive spell cast on enemies that weakens an attribute or combat ability. Dex An important stat for rogues and archers. Dex usually relates to attack speed, dodge rate, and/or defense. Dirt Nap Slang for dead. Most corpses lie on the ground when killed. DoT Damage over time. Refers to a class of spells that deals damage over a period of time. These spells typically do more damage than DD spells overall. DPS Damage per second. Used when figuring out weapon speed and damage. Druid Hybrid class in D&D style games – part healer, part support, part fighter. Eating Grass Vernacular for dead. Most players lie on the ground face down when killed. Epic(s) A class of items or equipment that are very powerful and difficult to acquire. Usually found in the hardest dungeons and have the lowest probability to drop. Experience (XP) A quantity gained when completing tasks/quests, killing mobs, or discovering new locations in games. Characters level up when they gain enough experience points. Farm(ing) The act of accumulating currency or items by constantly killing a mob or repeatedly performing a series of actions. FTL Acronym meaning ‘for the lose’. Similar to FTW but refers to a failture. For example, ‘afk FTL : ( ‘ meaning the player’s afk status caused him or her to lose. Gank (important to understand from all players of warspear!) Verb. To be ganked is a term referring to one player being overwhelmed and killed by a large group. Can be either by a group of other players doing player-kill or a group of NPC monsters. Used in a sentence, “I got ganked yesterday in Fel.” Typically has the connotation that the other people had an unfair advantage (in number or level) Gank is with a group vs 1. GM Game Master. GM’s are characters in an MMORPG who are used by employees of the game’s creator company. They monitor the actions of the game world and answer the questions and complaints of the players. They have absolute control and power within the game. If the crime (breaking a law of the game, not the real world) committed is serious enough, they could even expel players permanently from the game. Griefer Title for a player who enjoys inflicting pain upon other players needlessly. If you kill newbies in a PvP game when you are level 22, from the victimization beyond the pure joy of knowing you have given the player “grief.” Though griefers are almost always PKers, PKers are not necessarily griefers. Guilds Semi-permanent player groups. In typical games, players must use a substantial amount of capital to start the guild. GTG “good to go” and “got to go” – can be confusing when context is unclear Heal A spell or skill that restores the health of the target. Could also be a call for help. If a player yells ‘heal me’ or even ‘heal!’ it means they are about to die unless another player restores their health.

Used to confirm a statement made by another player. Example: “Can I have this loot? K.” Kite To lure a mob or player around while attacking or allowing allies to attack. A player usually draws aggro by casting a mobility reduction spell on the target. The monster tries to follow the target but cannot catch up, leaving it open to attacks or the effects of DoT (damage over time) spells. KoS Acronym for “Kill on Sight”. Usually refers to characters who are disliked by a particular faction. E.g., “I killed too many guards, now I’m KoS in town!” - 1/2 wolfdragon99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex: “Dude this sword is UBER!” WB "welcome back” Wipe To “wipe” means for the entire group whether party or raid to all die. However, party or raid can only continue if there is a class that can resurrect oneself, thereby avoiding the time consumed from running back from the the graveyard and regrouping at the beginning of the instance. WOOT Synonymous with “hooray” or “way to go”. WTB "want to buy” WTGAbbreviation of ‘way to go.’ Meant to provide encouragement but often used in sarcasm.
