Acronyms - And what they mean

[Punainen]

Classes[/B] – The type of character you will play. i.e. Warrior, Conjurer.[/B]

This is WRONG. Warrior is NOT a class. Warrior is a JOB. Please do not confuse all the new players on the differences between classes and jobs.

Also you're missing some abbreviations, like Grand Companies are often called "GC", Limsa Lominsa is often called LL, HP doesn't just mean hit points but sometimes also "Home Point". You're also missing DD, which is Damage Dealer, a term used more often in this game than DPS (as that means damage per second, and doesn't accurately describe a role). PC, not just a computer, but a "Playable Character", what you and all other players are. LS is LinkShell, communication devices and groups.

The abbreviations for the jobs and classes should also be listed.

Here they are called NM, Notorious Monster, not BAM, that is a TERA term.

Yeah, I've never heard anyone call them 'BAM'. NM is the proper FF term.

I have added to the description that it covers acronyms and terminology.. Unfortunately I am not able to adjust the title of the thread

I have also added Free Company and TT to the List.

people use TT as an icon for crying, like when the role favors another player getting the item you wanted " TT" or some use "QQ" but usually when refering to others crying about something.

We put it up at the same time and I could not delete it. Thus the link. I made the request and did not know it would come up so fast.

I really appreciate this. I've been playing video games, but couldn't get into an MMO until this one.

Ah, I call Tam Tara Deepcroft as TTD. Guess TT is shorter.
