    Default Compiling a list of DDO Abbreviations, Acronyms, etc...

    Hello Everyone,

    I realize this is not a guide, but I was hoping I could get a some help in compiling a complete list of all, or as close to that as possible, of every term used in DDO.

    What I am looking for...
    -Acronyms
    -Abbreviations
    -Monster Nicknames
    -Non-dictionary terms
    -Any DDO coined terms for special Boss attacks

    What I'm NOT looking for...
    -Common slang terms used outside the game
    -Anything related to generic D&D lore


    I have yet to start compiling my own list yet since I have been busy writing up other things, but any assistance here would speed up the process.

    Thank you!
