Request: Glossary
Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2012 7:50 pm
Although I played UO for a while years ago, none of that knowledge seems relevant now. As a new player, I get a little lost on commonly used abbreviations, acronyms, and terms. Some sort of glossary, perhaps in the New Player category, would be fantastic. It could include general UO terms, things specific to Excelsior, and neologisms common to public chat.
Not everything would have to be defined right there in the glossary. There are good wiki pages already for some things. I'd probably put wiki or external links as appropriate.
Something like this format:
BoD: Bulk Order Deed. See http://uoex.net/wiki/Bulk_order_deeds
ED: Excelsior Dollar. See http://uoex.net/wiki/Excelsior_Dollars. Excelsior specific.
Fel: The Felucca facet. No PVP is allowed on Excelsior in Felucca.
If the format was regular enough, I could even write a script to search it in realtime while I'm reading global chat ... I'm crazy that way!
