I have a problem following some forum entries, because often people use initials like AoE, RDPS etc.. I'm sure it's not just my problem. I read the forum to learn about the game, but it's very hard to follow when I have to guess every other word. This is common especially on the most important treads that actually explain things or discuss game issues. Can we have a glossary to help us along, or better still (if can be done automatically), have an in-text link that explains it, as I've seen somewhere on this site? (Don't remember where but it was underscored and painted green)
I know I can't expect people to write the long version of a "game word" that more experienced gamers know, but it will be a great help if there is a link to somewhere that explains them, especially if the initials refer to an Iris online specific term (like monsters or items).

Btw, I already know what GM, NPC and PvP mean ;)

Thanks for listening

    Hi there~

    I used to have the same problem when I first start my first online game (Ragnarok) too~ Thanks to the wiki and some Internet research I'm not so confused anymore.
    Here's a page that list out most of the gaming slang, hope you'll find it helpful >: D

    No probs.

    If anybody wants to help populate the glossary, just click on one of them and you will get taken to the glossary page and you should see an Add New Entry link.
