Common Abbreviations
Wisdom.....
When i first started playing Celtic Heroes, terminology was never an issue since i mostly kept to myself and hardly talked with anyone. Upon entering eve, i was bombarded with several new abbreviations and terms that i had never came across before. Some I already knew, some i was brave enough to ask, and others i learned on the fly. This list contains the most frequent abbreviations and terms that i have come across.
In addition to the abbreviations below, we eves often abbreviate each others names if it is more convenient to do so. For example, instead of my full name: LadyRosethorn, I am usually just called Lady. Sometimes i am called simply Rose. A few brave eves actually call me Rosey and live to tell the tale....for now 3:) what can i say? *shrug*- they run fast.
