Sometimes playing MMOs appears more like science than fun (besides, exactly the reason why we started out with Coobico) – you need to memorize effects and combos of weapons, spells, monsters and attacks. You need to learn and stick to role behaviours like “tank”, “damage-dealer” and the like to be able to blend in with parties of other players. And to communicate with them, of course, you need to learn the MMOs’ specific jargon of abbreviations (also called “leet-speak"). Earthtimes has a posting “‘4/6 lfm tank and dd’ - The jargon of online gaming”, which explains a few of these terms to the N00bs. Techrepublik has much older, but more exhaustive list.
