In every MMORPG the community eventually develops its own set of abbreviations and terminology for discussing the various elements of the game.

The following is a list of terms and their descriptions.

Term Description
bgn/int/adv These are the abbreviations for talking about skill books (i.e. Axe Manufacturing [BGN]). Bgn stands for beginner, int stands for intermediate, and adv stands for advanced.
Farm/farming This has two meanings: it can be used literally in regards to the farming skill, but it can also reference the act of grinding or killing large amounts of monsters for the sake of harvesting or farming items from them.
Grinding A term used to describe the act of killing monsters for a long period of time.
GM This is a common abbreviation across many games for "Game Moderator." GM's are the people who are given special abilities to help control the game if there's anything wrong (hackers, etc.).
Mentor A mentor is someone who is supposed to help and guide you as you level up. If you ever have questions, you should turn to your mentor. Mentors and mentoring is not required and is solely beneficial to the mentor (however good mentors will reward their mentees).
