Gw Chat Acronym List

[katintokyo]

[B]This is your chance to explain the acronyms to the NOOBS.

NOOB: 1)new bee - a new player to the game or gaming in general
2) new bee - a rather distasteful and disparaging label to put on someone who has ruined your day?

Please feel free to add acronyms you know or request the meanings of acronyms you dont inderstand.

Thanks :happy65:

I thought it was about time since I am often confused by what I see and read.

That acronym is actually used everywhere and not just GW.

LFG : Looking for Group
LFM : Looking for Member
WTS : Want to sell
WTB : Want to buy
AOE : Area of Effect
Aggroe : Basically to aggravate the enemy so that they attack you.

omw - on my way

afk - away from keyboard

c/o - counter offer

b/o - buy out price (instant sell to you if you pay said amount)

the above are some that I had trouble with when i was a n00b. (GW is my first MMORPG, and I couldn't be happier!!!!)

one I request - kk what does kk mean? does it mean ok, or what?

[guruofchem]

K or KK - OK
rdy - Ready
OMFG - Oh My !@%$ing God (this is used only by dead players killed by their own stupidity or arrogance )

[Ju Smurph]

kk = k = ok,

which is funny cause if they fell the need to press two buttons they could just type ok in full so its not really an acronym at all :confused:

Apparently, I need to clarify. This post of for the acronyms you MAY SEE while playing GW, and so, it may also include acronyms form OUTSIDE the GW universe, where PEOPLE live and play. Sorry for the oversight.

the word NOOB was used in the OP and is a clue as to what this thread was for.

OP : 1)Original Post - the first post of the forum thread
2) Original Poster - not unlike the Original Gangster in that it is meant to refer to the person who began the thread/forum posting.

Cheers and thanks for the input and constructive criticism. Let's all be literal today. :love38:

Also used by people who get extremely annoyed when the idiot mesmer (yes she was an idiot, couldn't listen to instructions or figure out how to stay out of aggro range when someone tried to pull) get 2 obsidian shards while you get a bunch of crappy white weapons...
