GF

Good fight should be in here because it is refering to the runescape fight. Agent 22135 00:49, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Its not just RuneScape slang though. People everywhere use it. http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/Psycho_Robot/Sigs%20and%20Avatars/kitty.pngPsycho Robot talk 00:51, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

The header states "The Slang dictionary is a list of informal words and expressions that are commonly used in RuneScape." It does not say "The Slang dictionary is a list of informal words and expressions that are only used in RuneScape." At this time, there are four definitions under N: Nat, Nerf, NFS, and NPC. Only Nat is used only in Runescape. In fact, you can't even say the others are used more commonly in Runescape, even though they're also used elsewhere. Should Nerf, NFS, and NPC also be deleted? (That's not a rhetorical question. It's intended to elicit the exact logic being applied here.) There are several examples that could be listed for every subpage, but I picked on N because it's 75% of the content. --Saftzie 02:37, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yes they should be deleted. http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/Psycho_Robot/Sigs%20and%20Avatars/kitty.pngPsycho Robot talk 02:40, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

And the purpose statement of the dictionary should also be changed to replace "commonly" with "only?" So far the content still only appears to be governed by whim. --Saftzie 02:48, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Saftzie, if it's limited to Runescape-specific slang, the definition should be changed.    Jim  ^{Talk • SL} 03:00, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Ok I will update the description to be more clear. http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/Psycho_Robot/Sigs%20and%20Avatars/kitty.pngPsycho Robot talk 03:01, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

You might wanna change [[RuneScape:Slang Dictionary|this]] too.    Jim  ^{Talk • SL} 03:26, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

I think that page is clear enough, do you not agree? http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/Psycho_Robot/Sigs%20and%20Avatars/kitty.pngPsycho Robot talk 03:28, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

I think he means something like changing "only slang which directly relates to RuneScape" to "only slang which exclusively relates to RuneScape" (without the bold). Otherwise slang like GF, which does relate directly to Runescape, could be included. I'll make that change now. If I missed the point, it can be updated again. It's a wiki, after all. --Saftzie 06:23, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

That sounds good to me. I'm going to move this conversation to the main talk page though, since it relates to everything. http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/Psycho_Robot/Sigs%20and%20Avatars/kitty.pngPsycho Robot talk 06:36, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

"Crashing"

I've noticed a lot of Runescape users referring to "crashing", however I do not know what this means. When I came here to look it up, I got no results, but I've seen it in conjunction with Dragon Claws. Halp? Example: "My mate told me to crash him, so I did." and "A bunch of people came in all 130+ and crashed the Dag King." 97.90.66.2 09:34, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

• Crashing in the economy means that an item is falling in price at a very fast rate maybe 1m a day for expensive items and a few hundred k for non expensive items and does that for a long time before levelling out at its new price several mil cheaper than its price before the crash. Crashing a high levelled monster normally means going in while another party is still fighting it and you use your numbers or better skills/equipment to get the kills forcing the original party to leave.

"wtf"

Should I put "WTF" and it's meaning in W? just asking. Natvsnat 07:38, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

There was this thread (can't remember which) that we are now supposed to list only RuneScape related slang (like 2h = Two-handed). Evil1888 ^{Talk A's L} 07:47, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

Then why are things like "np" and "brb" or "afk" in here? i know that those are used in other MMORPGs Natvsnat 01:37, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Other languages bug?

When I view the page, on the sidebar I see this:

Why? And how can you fix this? User:Tyilo/Signature 17:48, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

OP

Does anyone know what OP mean? I see in the forums sometimes I think it has something to do with free players.

It normally means Original Poster/Opening Poster, as in the person who created the thread. -- AnselaJonla 02:03, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

It actually normally means overpowered.

It doesn't mean overpowered in forums, in game it would though. AFKeying 02:57, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

nl means no life or no lifer.

Goml

This. I saw it a lot on RuneScape. Why remove it?

Exact same thought. I actually put it there, but neglected to sign in when I did. I see it near exclusively on Runescape, though it is used elsewhere. As previously argued on this talk page, there is plenty of slang listed that is in no way unique to Runescape. Newguy298 (talk) 03:45, October 11, 2012 (UTC)

Well, there's always "get off my lawn", but it's more "get on my level" on RuneScape. Bankstanding at the Grand Exchange should give anyone a taste of what Goml is, tbh.
