For those not entirely familiar with all the little shorthand words PlaneShift regulars use, here\'s a definitive list of the most common ones.
PS - PlaneShift
GM - Game Master. Ingame assistants and event organisers.
Devs - Developers. Members of Atomic Blue, the team building PlaneShift.
CB - The current version of PlaneShift, \"Crystal Blue\". It is version 0.3.
MB - The previous version, 0.2. \"Molecular Blue\".
AB - The very first tech-demo, version 0.1, \"Atomic Blue\".
NPC - Non Playable Character. NPCs are server-controlled characters in the game world not controlled by any human. They give quests, serve as merchants, etc.
IC - In Character. Speech spoken as if it were your character in the world, not you sitting infront of a computer.
OOC - Out Of Character. Speech spoken as you, the player. OOC speech is often considered \'second priority\' to IC speech, as it breaks the realism of the game world. It is courteous to use square brackets [ ] when you need to talk OOCly ingame.
RP - Role Playing. Speaking IC with your character as if the game world is real.
DR - Death Realm. Where your character is taken when he or she dies.
LD - Linkdead. When the server crashes or you get disconnected from the game, we say it\'s gone Linkdead.
Feel free to post more suggestions below, but please avoid regular chat acronyms such as \'wtf\' \'afaik\' or \'bbiab\'. The purpose of this list is to teach people what the PS-only words mean, and how to use them.
Thanks to Merak for this suggestion.
