Hello, Heroes!
I'm here to talk to you about the G.A.W.U.P. Initiative.

Normally it takes days or weeks of /played to learn all this stuff, but this guide will spare you of embarrassing moments of asking for help on the social chat. Just press control+F to search this page. Drop a reply if you spot an error, or think I should add something.
English is my 3rd language, I apologize for any errors. Feel free to help me correct them.

    I used the think acronyms would keep new players away. . it seems like they just make more as time goes on.  Pretty soon I won't know what is going on in chat in a game.  I guess I can't take a break :)

    LFM can be read as Looking For More, but I guess Looking For Mates works.

    ISO - I'm Seeking Offers (sometimes used on trade)

    BO or B/O - Best Offer or Buy Out
