seekeronos Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Just thought I'd toss this ball up: After a (more than) six year hiatus from the game... I came back in and some of the old, familiar abbreviations came back to me (which were largely unique to this game - when I went to FFXI after sunset, the phrase "WTB: Kirin's Osode pst" didn't exactly carry over in that community). But with the effective merging of everyone who had a revived interest in EnB, and having come from any of the four servers in live (which may have had a somewhat localized jargon amongst each server)... and the introduction of the three classes that never saw Live, for me (and some others as well) there were a few slight moments of confusion (JS: the jumpstart, or the Jenquai Seeker? TE: Terran Enforcer, or Terran Explorer?) and so-on. I propose then, a sort of a glossary. It could be useful to total newcomers to EnB as well, and could include commonly referenced sectors, abilities, specific (typically end-game) equipment and of course, standardised race/class abbreviation. Allow me to propose these, to start: Races/Classes JT - Jenquai Trader (Sharim Trader) JD - Jenquai Defender (Shinwa) JE - Jenquai Explorer (Sha'ha'dem) TE - Terran Enforcer (EarthCorps) TT - Terran Trader (InfinitiCorps) TS - Terran Scout (Hyperia Explorers) PP - Progen Privateer (Collegia Traders) PW - Progen Warrior (Centuriata) PS - Progen Sentinel (Sabine Explorers) Abilities JS - Jumpstart ES - Environmental Shield Market Channel WTB - Want To Buy WTS - Want To Sell WTT - Want To Trade pst - Please Send Tell (private chat/message to the person announcing) Locations BBW - Blackbeard's Wake (Red Dragon Pirate "secret sector", players with Red Dragon - RD - faction can access this thru pirate gates) FB - Fish Bowl (end game sector, accessible thru Tada-O gate in Cooper sector) N7 - Net-7 station in Saturn sector F7 - Friendship 7station in Glenn sector Please feel free to add to these, or discuss!

Amethyst Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 There are a lot of gear abbreviations... I'm useless at remembering them after so long. PB = Plagues Bite DG = Devastating Gaze AG/GA = Amah's Gaze ML = Missile Launcher OP = ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floss Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 OP = overpowered normally. I.e. "Floss is OP" For classes, moving to a standard seems to be easier, ie. TW, PW, JW. Warrior/trader/explorer. These seem to be interchangeable with TE, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeCool Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 This is very cool. It would be perfect content for the new Wiki... http://wiki.net-7.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrell [BT] Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 OP = overpowered normally. I.e. "Floss is OP" For classes, moving to a standard seems to be easier, ie. TW, PW, JW. Warrior/trader/explorer. These seem to be interchangeable with TE, etc. I tend to agree with this. I usually use as follows: TT Terran Tradesman (InfinitiCorps Traders) TW Terran Enforcer (EarthCorps Warriors) TE Terran Scout (Hyperia Explorers) PW Progen Warrior (Centuriata Warriors) PE Progen Sentinel (Sabine Explorers) PT Progen Privateer (Collegia Traders) JE Jenquai Explorer (Sha'ha'dem Explorers) JW Jenquai Defender (Shinwa Warriors) JT Jenquai Seeker (Sharim Traders) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
