Everything you ever wanted to know and more

The World of Warcraft (WoW) can be a very confusing place. As with any large game, and especially any Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) there are a veritable ton of acronyms and terminology that is used by its players. This can be very daunting to the new player, and can even be confusing to many veterans that simply can not remember all the terms.

This first section of the guide covers all the acronyms and terms that start with a number or the letter A. Check back soon for further updates.

ALT - Generally refers to any character that you have that is not the one you play the most often. Usually refers to any character that is not your highest level character, although many players stop playing a high level character and start a new main character and then do not refer to it as an alt.
