    Indeed there is, stickied, although this is more comprehensive.

    May I suggest the existing thread incorporates ahmet's work, combining the two?

    I don't get what A1 or I-5 are. The definition is the same as the abbreviation.

    dndfreak's thread is outdated. He doesn't update and add more to his thread probably because he doesn't have enough time besides his duties in design team. Also, this is more comprehensive. I didn't just compile the abbreviations that are used around or I had difficulty with. I made an as complete as possible list going through 1.3 cards list on test server.

    @RaveBaldrick
    Yeah, those can be added, thanks.

    I'll probably add links to some abbreviations. Guilds would be a good start.

    @Nizaris
    Do you use an abbreviation for your guild?

    I actually wanted to attach this in PDF format but the forum didn't let me as the size of the file was too big.
