    AC - asheron's call, AC2 (that should be obvious), daoc - dark age of camelot, UO - ultima online, EQ - everquest, EQ2(again obvious), EO - eve online(usually just called EVE though), AO - anarchy online, WAR - warhamer online, L2 - lineage 2, DDO - D&D Online, DnL - Dark and Light, obviously there's the rest of the games, but i listed the major ones i think. :) oh and AoC - Age of Conan.

    It is pathos we lack, and this lack of pathos makes the worlds we explore quite stale.

    as far as games go the most obscure is probably CoX, meaning CoH (City of Heroes) and CoV (City of Villains) combined. And also MxO for Matrix Online.

    Apart from that the wikipedia entry seems to have practically everything except rather obscure terms, or ones only used temporarily or by small groups. (Like the PoNR (point of no return) for spells in DAoC ^^))

    Also i cant decide whats funnier.... the explanation for whoring on that wiki entry or the link to the Human Wave Attack strategy in the entry for Zerging

    Whenever I read WAR forums I see GW abbreviation.. If I'm not mistaken they are talking about Games Workshop there. =]

    They are, which is why I've started typing it out as G-W to match the website, us.games-workshop.com/.
