I have been playing for over a year now but have not spent a whole lot of time in the forums til recently. So there is still some of the terminology that i am not sure what it means. (Examples: SoI, AP, SF, just to name a couple)
I know i will probably feel like an idiot once i am told what they mean.
Just to help us forum noobs out.

If there is already a thread that covers this, just delete this thread and please send me a PM with a link.

There are missing terms on that list, though...

For example, TntF! (There's nothing to Fear!), FDS (Fiery dragon Sword), SY! (Save Yorselves!)...

And then there are the ones that can mean different skills, such as LoD - Light of Deliverence or Light of Deldrimor - depending on where you are.

Well i guess we can leave this thread open so people just passing through can maybe add a thing or two, or learn a thing or two. I remember when i first started playing the game... I would hear people talking about UW (Underworld) & FoW (Fissure of Woe)... hell i didn't even know about those places until i was already lvl 20.

I converted the list of acronyms into a PDF for reference but it is 21 kb which exceeds the forum limit (kinda of lame actually). The Word version I can add though.

If you can't open .doc files and you want it, PM with an e-mail address and I'll send it to you.

The GWEN/EotN (Guild Wars: Eye of the North) acronyms are not listed though.

HoS: Heart of Shiverpeaks
CoF: Cathedral of Flames

Are the two most popular.
