i agree with the logic behind putting it in alphabetical order.. but maybe you can add some more info...

for example..

AoD = Avatar of Destruction (Player Title/ 250lvl Elemental Magic)
CP = Care Plan (Providing assistance for Digging)
KoD = Knoll of Descent (Region in Forest)
KoD = Knot of Dementia (Region in Jungle)

maybe thats taking it too far.. i just think if a newbie is looking at it.. they might think an Avatar of Destruction is a region.. or might not have a clue what Care Plan is/or is related to.

more info the better in my book..

Yes Jez, I agree completely. :) I was planning on doing this later, right now I'm kept busy just collecting them all.

But, I don't want to take it too far. Just a few words description. To properly explain what an 'OP -> outpost' is to a new player, would take an entire article...

Feel free to suggest descriptions too though! Saves me work ;)

That's because they're general MMO acronyms and we haven't yet decided whether to put those in or not... but thanks anyways, I shall store them in a seperate list for now. :)

Maybe colour code them?

Place
Skill related
Gear related
Crafting related (Which reminds me, q/ql)
General/Misc

Same one I got stuck on. ;) It's another of those that really needs a whole article to explain to newbies. Perhaps for those I could put in a link to an existing article...

Regions and such can be done pretty easy in comparison.

That's a good idea Nysha, but gah, do you know how much work that would be? :p

And sorry about your coffee Ani :D

Give me the finished list and I'll do it. If I start then I can avail myself of enough OCD-based momentum to finish :p
