Slang

Slang words are words oftenly used in RuneScape in place of other words. Such words may be seen ingame, as well as across the Internet in other games, or in chat rooms. Many players use such words to abbreviate or to make typing easier or faster. Most of these words are variants of "leetspeak" and are not true English.

Criticism
Some players believe that slang words such as "u" and "pwn3d" should not be used and look at players who use these words as idiots.
