Ryzom

Not to de-rail or be Debbie Downer, but I will stay out of the politics again. That was the only time in Atys that I ever received insults and negative backlash was when I even so much as touched on the subject.

The only thing worse than politics in Ryzom is raiding in WoW! lol

Beau

Attacking Beau for being in Ballistic Mystix when he wasn't involved in OPs or anything other then being a newb was one of the saddest things I experienced in Ryzom. I can understand your feelings Beau.-Kil

There was a time there that things got... well... unpleasant. I sure hope we've learned from more recent experience and value and respect each other OOC even if we're deadly enemies IC. And yeah, Beau surely never deserved ANY kind of grief.

*hugs Beau*


EDIT:
OOC - Out of character
IC - In character

I think "someone" should collect the acronyms and start a new (potentially sticky) thread. If nobody beats me to it, I'll do that later tonight when I have a bit more time. Feel free to save me the effort, though.

i giggled a little when i read celestial garden.. im sure it was just a typo..celestial guardian.

*smiles*

See, this was exactly what I was thinking too.

Though there's not really a great need for it until we actually have the game back...

Make us three

That goes without mentioning that, in our community, we make acronyms of even a) servers b) guides/CSR c) guilds d) players...

a) Servers and Game Periods
NA - North American Server (Windermeer - now dead)
EU or EE - European Server, old Arispotle, now merged, and a.k.a "Aris"
FR / DE

OB: Open Beta
FBT: Focus Beta Test
CB: Closed Beta
EoA: Elder Of Atys


SoR: Saga of Ryzom. At some point Marketoids decided to just call it "Ryzom" to make it more appealing...
ML: Main Land, the "point of no return" after leaving noob island, later Silan.


b)
Tak, Azh, Fadin, Plan, Shadow /ST , Mint, ... (US)
Souls / SN , Shads / SW, Zerls, Tigs (them brits use the same shorthands!)...


c) OOTN, ON, BM, OV, Infty, KV, EoA, Evo, ...

d) You can blame this to the laziness of yours truly (apologies if I forgot), but some thanks also to the usage by other peeps have become common:

DT, Fasi, Sin, Pos, Moon, Lath, Sekh, Ryz, ....


Please note that there is a trend here (as in mat, sup, etc.) basically you type the first syllabe or few chars of the word and then get tired and drop it . Finally, there are other, less useful acronyms, but I mention them for the sake of completeness

OCTSE: "Oh crap the source exploded"
DAAD: "Don't Alttab and Dig"
TIBIHPA/I: "this is bulls**t, I had pressed aura/invul..."
IARISMAA: "I am retarded, I sold my amps again"

I have plenty more

I dont think i ever heard the last few you have listed there Ani

Me neither, I think she's just making them up for the sake of it now

Anyways, I'll start a new thread for it so we can get this one back on topic
