Point Blank Area Of Effect - Caster has a circle/sphere spread around him to damage anyone standing close by. Very deadly in the right circumstances.

Ground Target Area Of Effect - Caster selects a patch of ground (by holding the F5 key and moving the yellow target around), he nukes the selected area, damaging anyone close by. Very deadly in the right circumstances.

BT = Bladeturn, a spell cast by a cloth caster which completely absorbs one mellee hit from an attacker. There is also a pulsing version, which absorbs a hit every 6 seconds or so.

and these:

OMFG!!!!!1111111 this is what people say when they see how much your owning the enemy, or when you've just run into a HUGE purple aggro spawn , common renditions are OMG, O...M...F...G...!!!111, and the ever popular:

O

M

G

!



also there are things like ZERG, this just means albion scum so use them synonomously .

RATBOY, this means a zerker, it's a middie class that turns into a giant rat when you prod it hard enough with a stick, quite funny to watch actually.

PLZ: this is usually used by people begging for money, and you should kick them in the nuts and threaten to trace their IP and break their grannies arms for it too btw.

ahh yes, that reminds me: BTW, means i can't be arsed to write a full sentence so i'll say this, it means by the way, but you should know that

then if your playing in zergdom (ie albion) you'll commonly hear: I R Teh R0XX0r!!11!!1, you can feel free to ignore this, as it's just spam that get's shouted by their population when they get home from school without getting shouted at by their mums it means "i'm a prick"

can't think of many more just yet, but i'll post em when i do

EDIT, here are more:

J00 n0 5Ki11 p0w4H G4m3R!!!111 FFS omg! gimp nerf!!!111111!!1: see zerg

FFS OMFG! I'M MEZZED!! AGAIN!: just means your fighting another zerg, see above for what that means.

minstrel: means bastard

cleric: means powergamer.

infil: means alt character

luribomb: also means alt character!

caster crak: reference PLZ ;p something you use the phrase for when enountering mentalists.

mentalist: hibby mage class, widely thought to be gimped, yet is really the secret hibby nuke missile, ie our wild card, and will turn the tide of the realm war in our favour MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!

MUAHAHAHAHAHHA!: you shoudl know this, self explanatory, unelss an albs using it, in which case it means "i'm confused"
