MMORPG terms and acronyms[edit]

WP:NOT a slang usage guide. User:Purplefeltangel/sig 19:57, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep, unless we're actually going to enforce a "rule" that's been widely ignored since WP began, and get rid of every glossary and list of slang terms in the place. --Bob Mellish 20:29, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- A lot of these lists are up for deletion, and the difference with this is that it's about Internet slang. User:Purplefeltangel/sig 20:31, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  - I fail to see why a list of terms used when playing one game should be treated differently than a list of terms used when playing another class of games, simply becase the later is played over the internet. --Bob Mellish 20:39, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is actually a much better article than I expected it to be from the title. I expected a poopile of neologisms and insults based on individual players. Instead, it's a tight little glossary of the nomenclature used in these games. Terms like "mob", "buff", "con", "train" and the like are certianly used a lot and aren't particularly obvious. It could still use a little cleanup, specifically removing the words that are general internet/chat terms ("AFK") or general RPG terms ("NPC", "level", "class") or generally general terms in general ("WTB"). Overall, though, this is a good article. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:32, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per Starblind. --GraemeL ^(talk) 22:12, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keepper Starblind, this is incredibly informative but could use cleanup. Powers of i 02:45, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Starblind, but if cleaning up the non-MMO-centric stuff, make sure that links to relevant lists (is there a List of RPG terms, for example?) are maintained, as the fringe terms are still useful for reference even if they don't belong on this page proper. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 16:02, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
