I can not see it either but i believe it to be:

(Increase Attack Speed) &/Or (Increased Attack Speed)

Necrotic · Jan 08, 2009, 03:41 PM // 15:41

IAS = Increase Attack Speed...some veterans of EQ may also call it haste.

Raven Wing · Feb 04, 2009, 10:53 AM // 10:53

I wonder what JQ is? havent seen it on the list here.

jade quarry competitive mission most likely. Nobody ever used that acronym before the lux/kurz faction changes on account of nobody ever playing it (everyone did Fort Aspenwood instead). It's a fairly popular place now though, since they increased the faction you get there substantially.

You forgot about the human actions such as
gtg-got to go
gte-gone to eat
wb(1)-washroom break 1 minute
sbab- someone's being a b****

Obrien Xp · Feb 19, 2009, 06:36 PM // 18:36

i will sometimes say gea for gold/each

azlnick · Mar 19, 2009, 05:37 AM // 05:37

BU or B/U is short for backup. Backup essences for UW and FoW Speedclears

Xilver Xurfer · Mar 27, 2009, 07:50 AM // 07:50

ty = thank you
yw = you're welcome
w/e = whatever
BS = bullshit
gz or gx = congrats
gj = good job

Shayne Hawke · Mar 28, 2009, 03:58 AM // 03:58

DSC (DTSC?) and MQSC should probably get added.

jangle jingle · Apr 03, 2009, 08:47 AM // 08:47

does anyone know what IMS means?

Earth · Apr 03, 2009, 01:47 PM // 13:47

Increase Movement Speed.

I'll add some to the list that are not on there.

also what do DSC and MQSC mean? Drazach Ticket Speed Clear and Mount Qinkai Speed Clear, right?

Snograt · Apr 03, 2009, 01:58 PM // 13:58

^You got it. As the HFFF de jour, DSC (or DTSC) and MQSC are very commonly seen now.

Mind you, it's a thicket, rather than a ticket

Ferminator · Apr 20, 2009, 08:56 AM // 08:56

RoJ = [skill]Ray of Judgment[/skill]

T1 or T2 may have something to do with Team 1 or Team 2 in UWSC but not 100% sure. Oh there's one I haven't seen UWSC = Underworld Speed Clear and FoWSC = Fissure of Woe Speed Clear.

Junato · Apr 20, 2009, 10:10 PM // 22:10

Deques · Apr 21, 2009, 07:06 AM // 07:06
