This is a glossary of many of the abbreviations and initialisms (and a few selected words) commonly used in chat in ESO

Other glossaries like this exist online, but this one aims to be more comprehensive, more up-to-date, and more focused on abbreviations, as well as to make it easier to find what you’re looking for with Ctrl-F without finding lots of irrelevant middle-of-word results

This guide is almost certainly not complete! I’ve probably missed some common abbreviations. Feel free to send any additional abbreviations you want to see defined to @IIIlIlIIlllIIlllIIll in game or in Discord, and I’ll gladly add them if I find them relevant and common enough

How to Use This Glossary

This guide is not arranged alphabetically, but by category. This way you can see related abbreviations grouped together

If you’re looking for a specific term, this guide is designed to be searchable with your browser’s Find on Page feature (e.g. Ctrl-F on a Windows device). All defined terms are followed by a colon, so you can search your abbreviation with a colon at the end to avoid results that are just the middle of some word somewhere (e.g. search SS: rather than just SS to avoid finding the word “message”)

For this reason, some listings include multiple spellings or variations, each followed by a colon, to assist in being able to search for all such variations

The same abbreviation might appear in multiple categories, so be sure to cycle through all results if you’re trying to find the correct meaning in context
