AFK...BRB...BIO...

Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures is like any other MMORPG when it comes to the evolving language of gaming. This week we have updated our Terms and Terminology guide to reflect some new, some modified, and some old terminology terms and meanings to reflect their current use in Hyboria.

If we missed a term share it here. We'll make updates as needed.

BRT = Be Right There


I'm a bit older and i have always thought using the term Bio (just showed up in WoW) was amusing. I still take p!ss breaks.

LoS- line of sight

omfgpwnd- u suck

l2p- learn to play

nubcannaon- worse then a nub

I have "FFS" macro'ed



FFS - A term expressing frustration or exasperation. An abbreviation of "For Frack's Sake"

eg; "L4me1, why did you push the button to summon the Dragon before we buffed? FFS!"

Bah!!! Sorry guys. It looks like page 2 was botched and you only got half the list. I have fixed the issue now so there should be a lot more terms on page 2. Sorry about that.

Thanks. Whenever I get involved with a new MMOG I always try to get a new updated version of this written to help out. I know my first MMOG I was new to the Internet so I got confused at some of the terms and some kind folk had to explain it to me. Fortunately I can make that learning curve a little easier with this.

Here is another extensive list for you.
