This might be self evident, but I would like to see "PC" (Player Character) in there, as I have heard the term used and it can confuse new MMMORPG players. Maybe also "slang" such as "Oja" or languages such as "Enkien".

Definitely IC and OOC.

"Godmoding"
Reason: Many (mostly new) players do not realise that they do it sometimes. It's a thing which has to be explained a lot frequently. (I do not exclude myself here. I did that without purpose when I started playing PS, too.)

A good description can be found here:

"Power leveller"- Often mentioned on the forums, and occasionally when OOC in game, as well as being a useful term to know.

PlaneShift Acronym and Slang List (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=23096.0)

Maybe it would be good to add at least some of those because they do occur in-game and hardly any newbie would look for the meaning on the forums and not in the guide first (or am I wrong?  :sweatdrop:)
Like: (f/m)enki, lag, loot, spawning...
