DDO Acronyms and Slang Terminology

[DoctorWhofan]

I have seen the Hound raid as HoX

also Shroud raid should be mentioned.

All the new quests should be added, for I use this to figure some stuff out, myself.

Confusingly, some people use GTG to mean "good to go." This is particularly hilarious at the quest entrance.

will add HoX, but shroud is shroud, its not an acronymn ... its the actual name of the quest. im pretty sure i found a few places that list all the quests that would help out out, maybe someone can post the link here for you. putting haytons rest, or the collaborator in the acronyms list would add unnessecary clutter, imo, and would not reflect the intentions of the acronym and slag terminology list.

Wow, that's one extensive glossary.

Two things:

G2G means only "Got to Go," and players often use that as opposed to GTG (which can go both ways).

Also, Nerf can also mean to make more rare. However, this usually only occurs on MMOs that have item-dropping monsters.

if it doesnt pertain to ddo, then i dont see the harm in leaving it out.

I got one not on your list. I kept reading this PrE term and have no clue what it stands for. Maybe you can enlighten me and add it to your list?

[whysper]

PrE == Prestige Enhancement, as opposed to D&D Prestige Classes. Essentially in lieu of actual PrCs, DDO offers them slightly altered, and more limited-scope as Enhancements (with other Feats and Enhancements as prerequisites.) Common examples are Rangers' Tempest, Bards' Warchanter and Rogues' Assassin.

LOL I was opening this thread to suggest adding PrE to the list.

Great Thread!! As a noob, i constantly have problems with terminology. Great job for taking the time to do this.

[MissErres]

A few I though of:

Chew Toy: Tank who's main job is to acquire and maintain agro from a specific mob/mobs

LotD: Litany of the Dead

Necro/Necro 1,2,3: Necropolis/Necropolis crypt series

Soul Train: /death in a tavern to take you to your bind point. Commonly used for those out of the way areas like Meridia or the Refuge.
