very noobish question - Guild Wars Forums

Ilythia · Feb 24, 2006, 04:46 AM // 04:46

I appologize in advance......but this is the first game I have ever got interested in!! Can anyone tell me what all the abbreviations stand for? For example FTW.
There are many more. I know most of you are tired of answering silly noob questions but I would really like to know. Anyone willing to help a girl out? LOL
(I didn't see some in the abbreviations post and I do know the most basic ones so before you tell me to check....I already did) TY in advance

There's an old thread here, but I'm working on a newer one. And by working I mean I'm being lazy and not doing anything about it.

Yes I looked at that one but didn't see FTW a few others that I have wondered about were on there but that one wasn't

FTW = for the win

And if there's no good compilation on guru, guildwiki has one (we're like paired with them or something now, right?)

http://www.guildwiki.org/wiki/Catego...26_Terminology

Slang and also a subcategory for abbreviations. Enjoy!

Omg now I feel like a noob for thinking it meant For The Lose(r).

FTL also commonly means "for the loose"
