Chat coding for messages

Hi,

I know MMOs have some kind of coding they use in chat such as LFG = Looking For Group. Is there any list somewhere of the one used in Champions Online? Thanks in advance.

Well most of that lingo has transferred over to Champs as well, I haven't come across a full list but the ones I know for sure are:

WTB/WTS/WWT: Want to Buy/Sell/Trade items

CC: Usually depends on the context but it's mostly in regards to Costume Contests. On random occasion if talking about powers it means Crowd Control.

SG: Super Group

AF: Action figure, little "pets" that players collect

CO/STO/NWO: Champions Online/Star Trek Online/ Neverwinter Online, all Cryptic games

MC/MI/VB: Millennium City/ Monster Island/ Vibora Bay, all zones in the game

TT: Again depending on the context. Could mean Therakiel's Temple, one of the high level dungeons or TrailTurtle, the Community Moderator

MCPHT or PHT: Refers to the Powerhouse Theater, used for Contests mainly. The MC is for Millennium City, since every major zone has a separate powerhouse.

Nem: short for Nemesis

G/Z/Q: Globals/ Zen/ Questionite, all forms of in game resources. G (also Nationals and Locals) is the main resource you get from mobs and selling items. Q is found as a drop from events like the Nem alerts, certain Adventure Packs and mission rewards; there is a Q-Store for special purchases. Q in turn can be exchanged for Zen. Zen can also be obtained with real money for purchases in the Z-Store (special items/hideouts/costume sets/action figures)

I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting, but that's what I can remember off the top of my head. Hope that helps!
