    Default If you do not understand the LFM acronyms, ASK before you join my group.

    Hello all,

    Bit of a rant here. First, let me say that I am all about helping new players out. If you ask me question I will answer as best I can.

    However, sometimes, based on the mood I'm in, I don't have the patience to show new people around every aspect of the game. Sometimes I just want to log in and bang a quest out.

    Now, of course, misery loves company, so I'll always throw an LFM up. Sometimes I get some good gossip.

    That being said, when you join my group, you need to understand what you are joining. If you see
    ww norm part 1 ip byoh fast
    and that just looks like a bunch of jibberish to you, ask. I'll be more than happy to explain. But don't join this group and ask 'where r u?', because you should be able to tell where I am from the lfm.

    That's all, thanks.

    Sometimes I'll join a Raid, remark about how cool it will be, and then ask which House it's in. That doesn't mean I don't really know what I'm doing, though.

    You type too much which is why people are confused.
    Use the KISS principle - Keep It Simple Stupid.

    WW 1 BYOH Z
    Translates as: Waterworks part 1, Bring your own healing, Zerg.

    No need to tell them N/H/E because there's this whole other little selection on the LFM screen that gives them that information.

    KISS is what I use when I teach skiing to four-year-olds. I would hope that the DDO player base is a little more competent.

    Wait a minute though...you're the first person to mention that IP stands for In Progress...so you must have known that already.

    I read it as "intellectual property", at first.

    Some acronyms are stupid. "zerg, no cleric, in progress" fits in the LFM just fine.
