YoLanguage: Your Own Yoworld  Dictionary

When I began playing, I was rather unsure on how to talk. Most of the users slowly learn all the abbreviation,

but some of these really need an explanation. Communication plays a very important role in any social game (actually, any social interaction!) so knowing the obscure online games speech is mostly needed. In order to help you, we made a list of most of the widely-used words we usually encounter in Yoworld  (this is both for English speaking users and foreign users).

• Noob: usually, it means “Newbie” “New to the game” or “Dummy”. On Yoworld  it usually refers to people who don’t go around with great dresses (which show one person’s wealth) or to ones who have less than 1 Jade badge.
• obo: stands for “Or best offer”, usually used after a price of an item. The highest bidder wins the item
• ono: “or nearest offer”
• nfs: Not for sale
• Res / Reserve: starting price of an item in an auction. Example: if I want to sell a Firebreathing Dragon and say it has a reserve of 10000 coins, I won’t give it away for less than that. So starting bid price is the reserve price the auctioneer states.
• wtt: Want to trade
• wtb: Want to buy
• wts: Want to sell
• 08 item, 09 item, 10 item: Refers to the year on which the item was released (2008, 2009, 2010)
