As with almost all games, Dragon Pals players have, over time, come up with numerous sland or abbreviated terms. In a game with a strict character-cap on all forms of communication, these abbreviations were often created for speed and easy of talking about them. Unfortunatly, while this makes it easier to hold a conversation, these abbreviations can alienate new players who are not familiiar enough with the game to take a solid guess at what the shorthand stands for. In some cases, unofficial terms also come about from the previous name for an item or event that simply stuck with players even after the game was updated.
This page largly serves to simply list the technical name associated with the slang or abbreviation and otherwise acts as a hub page linking each term to its full page. Each term is listed alphabetically, with the list covering both common gaming slang as well as terms specific to Dragon Pals.
