I figured that out. But I was using it as an example. If you aren't planning on helping, why don't you just stop posting. And I don't care if it's a noobish question. When I get into something I want to learn all about it. And I'll ask dumb questions if I need to.

Thank you! The MMOs that got me into this were MapleStory and Fiesta Online. You expect me to know everything from those games?

No, but you should beable to pick it up faster than that.  I don't mean to be rude or anything.. I mean its pretty common sense to know what it is.  This isnt science equation or anything.

A guide for which MMO?

Goto> google, type "gamename" guide, hit enter.

Anyway the purpose of playing a game is the discovery, the understanding, the learning, the exploring of the gameworld. The experiance gained are the lessons learned from playing, guides however will make a game very boring cause instead of finding out things for yourself and perhaps be suprised here and there, now with a guide to tell you where to go, what to pick up simply makes for a boring experiance in my opinion.

YOU do not need to agree with me as I am only SHARING my own opinion which can be different from yours. Thanks to forums we can share our opinions and discus them.

You won't respond to my post, because you know i'm right.

MMORPG = Massivly Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game

PVP = Player Vs. Player

PVE = Player Vs. Environment (AKA computer)

Loot = Well its just that "loot" "treasure" junk that you find.

MOB = Computer enemy (generaly there has to be alot of them {Like a ton of boars})

HUD = Heads Up Display

NPC = None Player Character

DPS = Damage Per Second

Cooldown = (They are refering to the time it takes to recharge a spell/ability {So if my chain lightening has a 1 minute cool down, I can only use it every 1 minute})

Raid = (This would be where a group of players get togeather to kill a certain group of enemys, or one big boss at the end of an instance)

Aggro = short for "Aggravation" meaning. (Whoa I just pulled aggro on that dragon) well you got to close/pissed off that dragon, and now it is aggravated at you, and so you have "aggro"

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This should get you started, if you have any specific questions post them, if not try looking somthing up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

 

If at first the power of persuasion doesn’t work, use the persuasion of power.

I should probably rephrase my question but, I was looking for a like a general guide to terms. Like before I didn't know what an instance dungeon was or the difference between DPS and DoT.

This is for WoW, but many of the terms apply to other games as well
