Flaming Making a personal attack or insulting remark, intended to incite anger.
Muling The process of transferring items involving 2 or more characters not currently playing in the game.
No-Twink No-twink groups and players use and equip only what they find in no-twink play. No items are brought into no-twink play from outside games or sources.
Powerleveling Gaining multiple levels quickly by repeatedly running the same areas with a high level character killing the monsters.
Rushing/taxi Helping a low level character to complete the difficulty level (usually only the mandatory quests or those with rewards) by a much higher level character. Commonly includes Hell's Forge, which reward is given to the high level character as a payment.
Storing Transferring items from one in-game character to a character not in game.
Transferring Interchanging items between characters, including activites referred to as muling, twinking and storing.
Trolling Making provocative, controversial or offensive remarks, intended to create a confrontational response.
