Woot! we might as well turn this into l33t speak dictionary,
but there are some crazy smiles and < that i don't normaly see in normal fps type games, but over all the mmo comunity is way more postive, because its not just about "pwning" everyone over and over, thats why i think it's kinda funny when people get mad about globals, because trash talking is way more rampant in other games, but i'm rambling...

No, sostar is just an item is a +5 stat bonus, meaning, if I hav a lvl 32 sostar, it's equivalent or slightly better than a lvl 32+5
Som is around +7 to above +10
Sosun is +15

SoS = SOS = Seal of Star. I don't care what size the "o" is. The only way to abbreviate seal of sun is sosun/SoSun/SOSun.

Now put em all together into normal, chillin convo
for example, a typical Avalanche1 convo:
"Zomfg, man, I was AFK on me Char, and this bot, was ks' ering me mofo mobs, coz he was a int user, imbueing like crazy, and he was such a noob coz his lvl was sooo low. The mobs ganged him and I ended up rofl'ing. I ended up crit'ing all those mobs with my uber crit 12 gliave fast fast. Expecially coz of my DE - I need to grind fast IMO, because I need to pvp this guy who has a som, WTF!!!"

I will change that eventually. I had heard that from people when I first started playing the game and it stuck with me ever since. Unfortunately I cannot prove whether this is true or not because I cannot afford a full set of SoS clothes.
