Yeah, I agree. In doing this, I'm seeing a lot that are no longer around.

I've never heard it called that, it's always been called cap sig.

Ok, I updated it with most of your suggestions as well as removed some that no longer are used.

IrisLee · Aug 13, 2008, 07:22 PM // 19:22

I see you've got AD for American District, but most people i know say AmD or Am Dis.

beregond · Aug 15, 2008, 03:52 AM // 03:52

I see lots of people say "QFT".

What does it mean?

Most of the people I play with say gs or gz for congratulations, and only a few say grats, so I think they do deserve a space on your list.

Quoted for Truth, or perhaps Quite F*cking True, depending on the person or context ^.~

distilledwill · Aug 15, 2008, 09:48 AM // 09:48

Just a few ranger ones:

D-Shot = [[Distracting Shot]
Trolls = [[Troll Unguent]
Nat Stride = [[Natural Stride]
Cripshot = [[Crippling Shot]
BA = [[Burning Arrow]
PA = [[Poison Arrow]
BHA = [[Broad Head Arrow]
IA = [[Incendiary Arrows]
Apply = [[Apply Poison]

Cap = Capture (as in shrines in AB, HB, HA etc)
Flagger = Flag Runner
Rit = Ritualist
Para = Paragon
Derv = Dervish
Sin = Assassin
Mes = Mesmer

Commander Ryker · Aug 19, 2008, 10:31 PM // 22:31

distilledwill, those are all abbreviations not acronyms.

CronkTheImpaler · Aug 22, 2008, 12:31 AM // 00:31

tl;dr??? ive searched this and cant find it. funny thing is i get a kick out of trackin this stuff. despite the base iq of 44 we have here in this forumn people sure do get creative with the engrish rangluage.

Cronk

oh yea tl;dr wtf is that imo i think it is ftw.

Tatile · Aug 22, 2008, 06:51 AM // 06:51

tl;dr: Too long; didn't read.

Laziness, essentially.

Sir Seifus Halbred · Aug 24, 2008, 04:18 AM // 04:18

LoD is also Light of Dwayna

_Nihilist_ · Aug 26, 2008, 05:38 AM // 05:38

QFT is also = "Quit F***ing Talking", mostly when in a PUG w/ someone who won't STFU

k / Kk = Okay

q = Requirement, mostly seen with WTB/WTS

fenix · Aug 26, 2008, 09:55 AM // 09:55

No WAY will q be for Requirement. Only idiots use it.

But srsly, Ryker, you need to add gtfo.

It gets used more than enough to warrant addition

Snograt · Aug 26, 2008, 07:58 PM // 19:58

Ouch - regretted making this list yet, Rykes?

You may well need this one: tl;dr meaning "too long; didn't read"

Oh, and good ol' IIRC - "If I Recall Correctly"

*Darcy* · Aug 27, 2008, 05:52 PM // 17:52

Ryker, the reason I suggested adding Light of Deldrimor to the LoD entry is that the Cathedral of Flames runners ask you to bring heals and LoD.

They don't mean Light of Deliverence.

Pookster · Sep 05, 2008, 01:26 PM // 13:26

Another one I use from time to time in chat is.......

WASP in the room

Wife Angry Still Playing

WhiteAsIce · Sep 13, 2008, 07:59 AM // 07:59

At Umbral Grotto, I sometimes see something like "LFG VFS HM"... What's VFS?

bengance · Sep 15, 2008, 04:26 AM // 04:26

You should mention that a lot of people just type "1" or "rdy" to say there ready or as the shortest method of saying okay.

Also, everybody should know that "newbs", "noobs" is a negative term for new players.
