I have seen some posts wondering what some of the general slang used in other games mean. Since FFXi has a slang of its own. here is some general slang used in many mmos.
Mez- Debuff the enemy. weaken the enemys stats and confuse
REZ- revive
Ding- lv up
Root- sleep spells, stun, or any spell that prevents enemy movement.
RVR - realm vs realm (few games use this)
PVP- player vs player (well known in every game that supports it.
PK - player Kill
PvE- Player vs enemy (controlled by the computer) FFxi is a pve game and some games have servers that support PVE only if PVP is unwanted.
End - for endurance. " i need end" "can you cast a end spell (or song"
Crack- used in some games, crack usually stands for mp(or mana)
usually used when mages need mp or ask for a mp giving spell (like refresh in ffxi) " i need some crack"
Tank - generally used in all mmos refers to the player who will keep the enemy focused on him and is capable of withstanding blows, aslo known as meat shields.
Hybird- this is used to refer to classes that arte a mix of other general classes.
group- unlike ffxi that uses the term "party" all other MMos use Group. using looking for party in another mmo will confuse people so dont use it.
LFG- looking for group (has been seen in ffxi)
C- copper, currency in many games, this is the lowest form of currency usually 100 c = 1 s still considered newbie money usually 100s = 1g
G gold, currency in many games, mid end to high en currency depending on game.
M - mithril, anyother type of currency usually this is high end currency and having just 1 means ur rich.
P- platnum, another type of currency. Highest lv of currency in many games having 1 means your prob one of the richest in the games, having several is a sighn that your a master crafter.
S- silver ,currency in many games.
Abbreveations:
Used mostly in all mmos to refer to places to go.(slang used in ffxi will be sandy for sandoria its different in other mmos)ex. " letsgroup at DF" df standing for DAOC's PVP dongeon Darkness Falls)
COLOR CODES
Most games have a color code to know the if the enemy is strong or weak. colors vary per game. whats common is the word.....
Con. ex " The enemy Cons yellow to me" Look out thes enemy cons red"
.............
okok thats a small share of slang, feel free to add more as i do more reaserch (i gotta beef up my slang too) hope this helps and i ask vet players(who played tons of mmos) to add other slang that is universally used.
