Hi there. I would like to ask if we can have a post that would have a definition to the different short cut word used in Lineage.

It would be very helpful for new players like me to understand the meaning of the term used, especially in this forum. And also it would be a great resource guide since it is also used in speech in the game itself.

Its like this:

PvP - definition
PvE - definition
SSD - definition
DD - definition
CS - definition
TK - definition

and so on and so forth

It would be good to have a glossary compilation to be added in such a very helpful site.

Thanks.

Edit:

You could also include the class (PR, AW,SR) weapons and items and other terminology that you know... ^_^

PvP : Player vs Player
PK : Player Kill
PvE : Player vs Environment
SSD : Soulshot D
BSSD : Blessed Spiritsshot D
