And since I'm on a posting spree and now I'm awake, I'd like to try and condense information from multiple threads to this one for ease of use and everyone's convenience.
By which I mean, I'd like people to contribute gamer lexicon information. What do I mean by "Gamer lexicon"? Well, here's some examples:
Twink = Low level character with gear well in advance of his/her capabilities, given to him/her by a higher level character with the intention of allowing said low level character to advance more easily than (s)he otherwise would.
Ding = A word used (first in MMO's, according to my research) to notify other players that you have just achieved a new level.
KEK = A word used, again first on MMO's ATMR, that translates to "LOL" (and if I need to explain what LOL means, well, I will! There are many possible origins for KEK, but this isn't about citing sources but dissemination of information.
So, with that said, let's see if we can make a definitive lexicon that anyone can point to for future reference when they need to know what certain words mean.
Game on!
Not to rain on your parade or anything, but a number of lexicons of RPG terminology already exist. Heck, even Wikipedia has such an entry.
