(re)Learning the Lingo
 
Is there a guide in existence that tells us what all the abbreviations used on the forum mean? I used to play some time ago, but frankly I just can't remember what all of the abbreviations mean.

oom means Out Of Mana, lom means Low On Mana, Train means watch out, I'm heading to the door with a lot of cranked off mobs behind me.. mob means monster or beast... SoW means Spirit of Wolf... But after some of that, I'm lost LOL

What does FTE stand for?
CoM?
KC is Karnor's Castle, I remember that...
ToV is Tower of Veeshan
PoH is Plane of Hate...

Anyhow - please help this middle aged player who has lost his marbles remember all of these helpful things.

Thanks!

I don't think FTE is there....
It means first to engage and relates to raid targets.

Nerd alert: this originated from MUDs, and the original term was "mobile unit". "Monster or beast" is actually more accurate these days, and easier to remember, since non-player friendlies are usually referred to as NPCs instead of mobs.

FTE has sort of become its own word used interchangeably as both a noun and a verb rather than as an abbreviation on P99. "I have FTE" / "I FTEd the mob" basically means, "I am the first person on the mob's hate list" / "I tagged the mob first", etc. It's rare that you'll see someone use it to actually abbreviate "first to engage", such as, "Were you FTE?"

CoM stands for City of Mist, the go-to outdoors dungeon located out in the wilderness of Emerald Jungle, for people looking to powerlevel through levels 40-51.
