Acronyms? I'm lost.

[Antifreeze]

Like I must have said a bajillion times, I'm really new to this game. There are alot of arconyms I don't understand. Is there anyplace I can go to sort them out, or can someone just type them out? I'd be so grateful.

Thanks a ton for all the help!

Yeah, I know all that stuff. I meant like, FFXI oriented acronyms.

LS = linkshell
BCNM = burning circle notorious monster
NM = notorious monster
CoP = Chains of Promathia
Z = Zilart
KSNM = Kindred Seal Notorious Monster
G1-5 = genkai 1-5
AF = Artifact Armor

In terms of final fantasy related acronyms....that's all I can think of. There isn't much in the way of game related abbreviations. It's all pretty universal with every MMORPG out there in terms of acronyms.

But...I was having trouble understanding some terms...
Like Sky, HNM, and some more stuff...
Found this...Via search...

Z = Zilart

Goddamn you people have gotten lazy.

G1-5 = genkai 1-5

Genkai is stylish again?

[Aksannyi]

LOL
(acr)(v.) Laughing Out Loud. "That level 30 just attacked Serket?? LOL!"
(adj) Derogatory: used as a prefix to a job abbreviation to imply that a job is laughably weak. So prevalent on Allakazam that the phrases "lolpup" and "loldrg" have been word-filtered to messages insulting the poster.

LOL indeed.

[wolfjorg]

Yeah I was like wtf, when I first started 5yrs ago, and was asking everyone what this and that meant. You'll pick it up as you go. but it is nice to see that some one posted it ^^

[Raydeus]

Genkai is stylish again?

I've never ever seen anyone using Z for Zilart alone, it's been always ZM or (Zilart)(Mission)

And never stopped using Genkai since I started playing. Have seen some people trying to use Limit or LB but they suffered the same fate as those who tried to use RED. :rofl:
