Acronyms...

[ShamanTankFTW]

Ok, first off I am not complaining about acronyms. I have played MMO's long enough to know that they are a staple of online communication so people don't have to take the time to spell everything out. I am also in the military where everything IS an acronym, right down to having one for commen sense (literaly).

Anyway, was just wondering what all of the acronyms used in Rift are. I don't need things like PuG, PvP, AoE...I know all those due to other games. What I would like to know are ones that are used specifically for Rift.

Examples: WoW has MC for Molten Core and BG for Battleground.

General:

WF = Warfront, same as battleground.
DRR = Daily Raid Rift, a daily quest to close a raid level rift, usually zerged by a group of 20.
IPP = Iron Pine Peaks (zone)
EI = Ember Isle (zone)

Raids:

DH = Drowned Halls (10man)
GP = Guilded Prophecy (10man)
GSB = Greenscales Blight (20man)
RotP = Rise of the Phoenix (10man)
HK = Hammerknell (20man)
ID = Infernal Dawn (20man coming in 1.8)

Builds:

RS/NB = Riftstalker/Nightblade, current FOTM rogue spec in PvP
MM = Marksman, rogue ranged soul
VK = Void Knight, warrior tanking soul
RB = Riftblade, warrior dps

IA = Instant Adventure
RR = Raid Rift
DER = Daily Expert Rift

[Khelendros]

WE-World Event
MMCR-Master Mode Caduceus Rise
and hilariously
BPR-Balloon Popping Raid (only relevant for the current world event, and at that only relevant until Wednesday, cause starting with Phase 4 it becomes more pvp oriented for the next 2 phases).

Nice, I was looking for a place with all the raid acronyms in one spot, googling them each time I forgot what they stood for was getting annoying.

- Realm of the Fae (16-17) - Silverwood = ROTF

"I am looking for someone to follow and help me on this journey into the wastes of the Dragon Soul raid to find and destroy Deathwing. I am in current need of someone capable of high damage per second and someone who can mend our wounds. Thanks in advance!"

That's usually what I ask in trade chat. I hate acronyms. No one takes me seriously because they all rather be lazy and use just letters.

[Primalthirst]

No-one takes you seriously because you sound like someone who gets into RP.

Stereotypically RPers don't play the acknowlegded cookie-cutters and thus are far less reliable than acronym Jim.

If I saw someone advertising that in chat I wouldn't group with them unless I was incredibly desperate or had a group I knew could carry them.

Actually I am not into role play at all. I just think people are lazy. The internet clearly isn't always for me.

Um, wrong forum buddy? No Deathwing in Rift.

Cleric builds that end in "-icar" include the Senticar soul for healing, but most points in a different soul for DPS. It's kinda used as an acronym, as in "Any -icars in raid?" / "Can anyone run -icar?"
The mmDD and mmCR are now often abbreviated to mDD and mCR.
I've seen "crifting" used for crafting rifts. Dunno whether this is catching on for real.

[Primalthirst]

-icar actually means something including enough points in JUSTICAR to get Doctrine of Loyalty.
Senticar, Inquisicar, Shamicar and Cabicar are names for the most popular combinations.

I don't think crifting is going to catch on.

You are so right. Teaches me to type fast and leave the fact checking to the internet.

[Rocketsurgeon]

Crifting is what I typically hear for crafting rifts, though not a lot of people advertise for them at all on my server.

And that guy's example message doesn't sound much like a roleplayer at all. Interesting phobia though.
