Every culture has its own terms, and the Barren Realms culture is no different. Presented below are some of the various terms you might see as you become accustomed to the Barren Realms. These meanings are the most common interpretations, as viewed by Quiver.
Berry Ball -- A common game played as a Quest. Two or
more teams are formed, and...well, just
come play :)
Bbl -- Be back later.
BR -- Fairly obvious, this is an abbreviation
for the Barren Realms.
BTW -- Abbreviation for by the way.
Dirs -- Abbreviation for directions.
Hero -- These are people who have reached level
51. Their primary job is to help you,
the player, out. Of course, as they are
very powerful, there are certain rules they
have to follow to keep the Barren Realms
in balance, so please be courteous to them.
HP -- Abbreviation for hit points, or how much
damage your character can sustain.
Imm,
Immortal -- Levels 52-55, these people basically run
the mud. Be very courteous to them, and
listen if they tell you something. They
are usually willing to help, but please
don't abuse this.
Imp -- Level 55, there are two of these (Oakley
and Kiri). These people run the mud, and
have the final say on any major decisions
about the mud. Do not ask them for help
unless it is very important, or there is
no other hero or immortal on. If they
tell you something, listen to them carefully.
J/k -- Abbreviation for just kidding.
Kiri -- See Imp.
Newbie -- Usually used to denote players at or below
level 2, but is often used for anyone new
to the mud or a certain level (newbie hero).
Oakley -- See Imp.
PK -- Player killing...DO NOT KILL OTHER PLAYERS!
This is a non player killing mud.
Ppl -- Abbreviation for people.
PSteal -- Stealing from other players. This ranks with
PK...no pk or pstealing on the Barren Realms.
Quest -- Usually good and fun, Barren Realms quests are
a chance to meet more people, have fun, and
possibly gain good equipment or items. Also,
a special Quest channel has been implemented.

of what you wish to say.
Scroll -- Related to how fast the words on the screen
move.
Spam -- Either repeatedly doing something, or making
it so that it is hard for others to play.
(Repeated tells, chats, etc.)
