Greetings earthling. Kidding. I need your help. I've started playing World Of Warcraft a little while ago, and I have a big problem. Everyone is using abbreviations in the chat window, and I simply can't understand a word they are saying sometimes. For example, one guy tried to help me get to Stranglethorn Vale, and he wrote STV, and I understood that I should go to Stormwind (SW) ... And I did ... Can you help me, please ?? Give me a WoW dictionary, something like "WoW for dummies"

Well, althought I would be the first in line to get a copy of "WoW for dummies", unfortunatelly there is no such book. But, despare not. There is a sloution, and it's not magic. It's the official Blizzard glossary, at www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/glossary. It has everything, every hard to understand abbreviation in the game. For example, did you know that KOS meant "Killed on Sight" ??It means that if, for example, an Orc, approaches a Human Guard, the Guard would try to kill on sight. Try it out and tell me what you think, and did it help you.

Any word or phrase you need should be listed here:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/
I usually just read it for the quotes under each word, usually pretty funny.
