Re: Ryzom acronyms

i agree with the logic behind putting it in alphabetical order.. but maybe you can add some more info...

for example..

AoD = Avatar of Destruction (Player Title/ 250lvl Elemental Magic)
CP = Care Plan (Providing assistance for Digging)
KoD = Knoll of Descent (Region in Forest)
KoD = Knot of Dementia (Region in Jungle)

maybe thats taking it too far.. i just think if a newbie is looking at it.. they might think an Avatar of Destruction is a region.. or might not have a clue what Care Plan is/or is related to.

more info the better in my book..

Yes Jez, I agree completely. I was planning on doing this later, right now I'm kept busy just collecting them all.

But, I don't want to take it too far. Just a few words description. To properly explain what an 'OP -> outpost' is to a new player, would take an entire article...

Feel free to suggest descriptions too though! Saves me work

That's because they're general MMO acronyms and we haven't yet decided whether to put those in or not... but thanks anyways, I shall store them in a seperate list for now.

Skill related
Gear related
Crafting related (Which reminds me, q/ql)
General/Misc

Re: Ryzom acronyms

Same one I got stuck on. It's another of those that really needs a whole article to explain to newbies. Perhaps for those I could put in a link to an existing article...

Regions and such can be done pretty easy in comparison.

That's a good idea Nysha, but gah, do you know how much work that would be?

And sorry about your coffee Ani

Re: Ryzom acronyms

Give me the finished list and I'll do it. If I start then I can avail myself of enough OCD-based momentum to finish
