    What does this mean?

    Sorry, but I've been aching to ask this question, but refrained from asking because I didn't want to get trolled...

    but I just need to know what does OP and TL;DR mean?

    I always thought that when OP was used in the forums is either overpower or ordinary player? Maybe I'm absolutely wrong :x

    and I have absolutely no idea what TL;DR means

    OP means original post or poster.. its stated when youre trying to get back on topic or to reply to the first message/messanger


    TL;DR means too long, didn't read. it's stating that they didnt read the whole wall of text because they already assume the post is a big stupid cry baby fest.


    You'll find that, with wow, OP can also be used for "overpowered" when talking about classes or spells or abilities. But it's generally talking about the original poster of the forum thread.

    It puzzles me that people who are using the internet are unaware of search engines such as google =\
    Honestly, looking up simple things like this for yourself is much faster than typing out a whole question on a forum and waiting for a response.
    You don't even need to go to any of the results in google, the definitions appear in the list of results for both "op" and "tl;dr"
    Protip: You don't need to add an apostrophe to make things plural.

    WTB = Willing to buy.

    When victory seems worth any sacrifice,
    there is a price to be paid for such a gift

    I thought wtb was "Want to buy." But I guess the W is just the logistics.

    I never could figure out what lol was. I thought the lower case "L" was an upper case "I". So I read it "ioi".

    Imagine the fun then.

    Closing this, now that it's answered, since it's in the Cataclysm forum.
