Gamer Language

Hrmmm.
You see, if yer gonna type to yer friends over the net and you wanna type faster so that you can say all you need to within a short period, you hafta shorten and combine words. Mebbe a few demonstrations can help.
Let’s take EQ for instance:
If you are seeking a way to get your character from one continent to another or into a raid of some sort to help out your guild you would say, “Chanter seeking GG to DL, PST. Will donate PP and C2.” Or if you have to go to the bathroom during game play, “Gotta go AFK, I’ll be invis, BRB.” The first example is “Enchanter seeking a Group Gate (A form of transportation druids and wizards have to bring characters back and forth in Norrath) to Dreadlands, Please send tell (A way to talk to your friends online). Will donate Platinum Pieces(Money) and Clarity Two(A buff for mana users).” The second example is “I have to go Away From Keyboard, I’ll be invisible, Be Right Back.”

Computer Graphics

With the release of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, we can see the emphasis on computer graphics emerging. Those of us as gamers could not hold out our excitement that we feel as we play the games, as we watched the film. Who out there said in their mind when the Urukai attacked Helms Deep, “Oh shit, Incoming!” and then when Gimli jumped into the swarm of Urukai to help Aragorn you thought, “Aggro! Aggro, where’s the damn chanter! Area Mez!” I guess Tolkien didn’t play EQ or hear of the wonders Enchanters can do. Then, after the movie, I began to wonder when those awesome graphics would ever come to our monitors and replace what we have now. Personally, if that sort of an update ever happened in computer gaming, my computer would throw up and I’d end up having to turn off all the spiffy spell effects just to move around. Any EQ’sters know what I talk about when they walk into the Bank on the moon these days.


As an after-thought for the guild link to Crimson Watchers, I had retired as an officer about half a year ago and since then, the guild has disbanded since two months ago. They were the best guild I had ever had a hand in and my family. I miss them dearly and hope everyone has found a new home where they can have the same fun we had once. I miss you guys. <3
