    AoE-Area of effect. Some skills do damage in a certain area-those are AoE skills
    PVP-Player versus Player, basically when you fight someone you're pvping.
    PK-Player Kill, when you reach level 30 you can kill other players. Doing this is called Pking. If you pk a lot your name wil turn red.
    PVE-Player versus Enviroment, killing monsters counts as PVE. Its basically killing anything except other players.

    Another thing you might need to know about is FB-this is a quest you get at level 19. It stands for First Boss, its also called Call to Duty. In these quests you have to go and kill a certain boss. You get exp from it. You get it every 10 levels after 19. FB19 means the FB you get when your level 19,FB29 the FB you get when your level 29, etc.

    On a PVP server your name becomes white at lvl 30 automatically..meaning you can pk or be pked by any other white name. On PVE server once you reach lvl 30 you have the option of keeping your name blue or turning it white. You can switch it on and off, depending if you wanna pk or not.

    You can enable PK Mode in a PvE Server when you reach level 30. Then your name becomes White and you can fight anyone else with a White, Pink, or Red name. You cannot turn off PvP Mode for another 10 hours of game time after you activate it.

    Grinding is like grinding something down in real life, except in our case, it is our brain's we are grinding while we perform some super repetitive and boring activity, like killing monsters for experience, over and over and over.

    Mob: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mob_(computer_gaming) But here, it is just short for monster.

    Edit:

    Before you ask:

    FB: Instance Dungeon that you can do with a squad, you will get several important (For character progression) quests to complete inside these dungeons.

    BH: Bounty Hunter, a daily quest (Usually 1 per day), which you kill a monster inside a dungeon to complete.

    CS: Crazy Stone (Another daily quest) or Cash Shop depending on context.

    F2P and P2P: Free to Play, or Pay to Play (Subscription Game).

    WQ: World Quest (Another daily quest).

    BM: Blademaster (The other class abbreviations come from PW MY, and so are less used here, since they make less sense WF (Were-Fox) has nothing to do with Venomancer for instance.)

    TT (And not HH xD): Twilight Temple, which is a large multi-part dungeon where you can find materials for making good quality equipment, starting at level 60.

    FC: **** Dungeon, don't worry about it xD.

    DT: Dragon Temple is a PvP event held every tuesday inside a special area, also level 60+.

    Grinding is having to kill monsters over and over again. Picking stuff off the ground is picking stuff off the ground xD KSing is kill stealing, meaning you start hitting and killing a monster when someone else was first.

    This answered more questions about the CURRENT terminology used in THIS game, than the sticky thats posted, which is a more general abbreviation guide.

    nice to see people helping.
