cthatt Report post Posted March 7, 2004 Are there anywhere you can read about all these "short" words ? I have been playing for almost a month now, and understand the most of them, but because english is only my second language, I still have some trouble :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puntif Report post Posted March 7, 2004 I was thinking of suggesting adding a "terms and lingo" page to the web site. There are some terms used in-game that may not be familiar to all players. Some terms are EL specific and some are used in other RPGs. Here are some terms that might be included: Eternal-Lands specific: VOTD = Valley of the Dwarves DP = Desert Pines VC = Vermor Castle WSC = White Stone City KF = Kilaran Fields beam = the area near the campfire on Isla Prima where a character goes when the command "#beam me up" is used tit = titanium serp = titanium serpent sword Role-Playing Games: RP=Role Playing - making your character behave with a consistent personality or behavior RPG = Role Playing Game woot = an expression of glee used to celebrate success or accomplishment mule = someone who carries supplies for another person pot = potion (in Eternal Lands, sometimes "pot" implies a specific kind of potion - usually Body Restoration potion) PK = player kill spawn = the place where new monsters or animals appear Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geelef Report post Posted March 7, 2004 Yeah, and ofcourse those allround abbreviations (typo) lol - laughing out loud. If you're Dutch you didn't need that one rofl / roflol - rolling over the floor laughing (out loud) lmao - laughing my ass off (do NOT make the typo lamo here, or you'll get into trouble) omg - oh my god omfg - oh my fucking god wtf/wth - what the fuck/heck Yeah, and loads more. Think I've read a page on those things a long while ago (explained the history of 1337ness to me...) And ofcourse, if someone starts ranting in 'shorts' just ask m what they mean.
