Hi Alrisaia, nice thread. It's nice to see another oldschool MMO gamer in the community
Wow, thinking of some terms from UO and EQ... there's a LOT! Some you may want to add:
HoT: Heal over Time, like from Horn of Renewal or Lifegiver
OT or Offtank: Not necessary in this game, but who knows - maybe later it will be with 2 bosses. Means for a second warrior to grab aggro and tank the second difficult mob/boss while the party concentrates on the primary target
LD: Linkdead; lost connection
PL or Power Level: Running a new toon or twink through a map that yields quick XP without the lowbie doing much work
PBAOE or Point Blank AOE: An AOE spell that manifests from the player's position. Juggernaut's taunting effect would technically be a PBAOE, and I think curse may be as well
Slow: An effect that increases the interval time between attacks
Rez: To resurrect, or in this game, revive
Pull: To strategically bring a mob or mobs to the group rather than just rushing in
LOS: Line of Sight (something I really wish more people who played AL knew how to use *cough* Rook's Nest and Grob Beach *cough*
CC: Crowd control - controlling the movement or incapacitating mobs so that they don't cause damage or cast spells during combat
LFG: Looking for group
WTS/WTT/WTB: Want to sell, Want to trade, Want to buy
I have a lot more.. not sure how many you want to add, though. A lot of the ones I still use people just stare and blink at me... they aren't really used in this game. One term that this new generation of gamers has completely obliterated the meaning of is "noob". It didn't use to be an insult like it is now. It has lost its original meaning.
