EQ Plat: Gameplay Jargon

EverQuest has its own currency – EverQest Platinum, players need to do EverQuest Power Leveling in the game. And EverQuest has its own jargon, too.

Abbreviations and acronyms also may aid, or at least shorten, communication among players. Examples include SoW ("Spirit of Wolf" - a popular spell which accelerates run or walk speed), KEI (an acronym for "Koadic's Endless Intellect" - another popular spell which accelerates mana regeneration), PoK (Plane of Knowledge - a major "crossroads" zone for travelers), and "rez" (Resurrect - any of several spells or abilities cast on a corpse to summon the player to it, often restoring lost experience points). "Crack" or "mind candy" refers to mana regeneration spells such as Clarity or KEI. Another such term, used as a verb or noun, is nerf.

DKP(Dragon Kill Points), a raid loot distribution method, originated in Everquest, and is now used within the game World of Warcraft. Proc and Farm are credited as coming to WoW from EQ. Other terms have made their way into EQ from other games, such as the term Zerging from the computer game StarCraft—used when a raid's main strategy is to overwhelm an enemy by sheer force of numbers. Monsters are sometimes called MOBs or mobs; a practice that started in MUDs. Learning the jargon will help you farm EQ Plat and do EQ Power Leveling.

While mostly consistent throughout the entire EQ community, there are also some differences in jargon among servers, and among Asian, European and American gaming communities. For example, KEI is known on some servers as C3 (it is the third version of Clarity). In-game chat may prove quite impenetrable to anyone who has not played EQ extensively.
