Location: Done.
1: Commonly used in party chat to indicate readiness.

Aggro: When monsters switch from passive to aggresive. Can be used as a noun or a verb.
AI: Short for "artificial intelligence." Generally refers to the actions of henchmen and monsters.
ATM: At The Moment.

c/o: Current offer Refers to the highest bid on item being sold.
Clean: A weapon with no weapon upgrades, dye, or other modifiers, or an item with unwanted modifiers that would not change the price.

Drop: Usually refers to loot from mobs, but can also mean to lose connection to the game.

FFS: For Fuck's Sake.
FotM: Flavor of the Month. Refers to a build that becomes extremely popular, but dies out as soon as a counter is made well-known.

GLF: "Group Looking For..."
GvG: Guild Versus Guild.

Inv: Inventory. A list of the items you are carrying.

JK: Just Kidding.

K: Used to denote 1,000 of something. When referring to gold pieces, it is a simpler way to refer to platinum. Can be used as KK referring to 1 million gold. Also an abbreviation for okay.
KD: Abbreviation for Knockdown.

LFG, LFP, LFT: "Looking For Group", "Looking For Partner" or "Looking For Party", and "Looking For Team" respectively.
lvl: Level. Almost always abbreviated.

Meat Shield: Persons (Or pets etc) whose primary purpose is to soak up damage and cause a distraction for foes in PvP and in PvE.
Mob: Monster.
Mule: A character that a player uses to store less frequently used items due to the limited space in the Storage. Retired or inactive characters are often turned into mules.

Packrat: Packrats are players who frequently run out of storage space -- whether it be collecting materials for consumables, weaponry, armor; or collecting items they like such as event items etc.
Pop-Up: Refers to a foe or group of foes which are initially hidden, only appearing after a trigger condition (generally coming within a certain range) is met.
PT: Party.
PUG: Pick Up Group. Refers to a party created largely from strangers and other characters you don't know. Also player unafilliated with a guild.

QFT: Quoted For Truth.
QQ: Literally, QQ is a set of crying eyes. However, given its usual context in online games, it is usually assumed to mean "Cry more."

Ragequit: To ragequit is to quit when things are not going your way. People who ragequit often do so because they believe that their team has no chance of success, though it is also possible that they are infuriated at other members of the team.
Res(sssssssssss), Rez(zzzzzzzz): Refers to Resurrection Skill, or used to ask for getting resurrected by another player.
Rubber-Banding: Rubber-banding refers to having one's moving character suddenly appearing back where they started from (or at an earlier position). This is caused by network lag, where the server did not receive the appropriate signals from the game client that one's character had actually moved.

Solo (Farming): To defeat many foes in one area without any other party members. Most farmings are solo.
Squishy: A character with little defense (such as a low (60) armor rating, no defensive skills or no self-healing abilities) that can easily be killed by attacking foes.
Tbh: To be honest.
TS: Teamspeak. A product which allows players to communicate with each other in real time.
ty(vm): thank you (very much).

Unique: Unique items are items that are randomly dropped by certain (usually boss) monsters.

Vent: Ventrilo, a similar product to Teamspeak.

w/e: Whatever

XP: Experience points.
