Aggro - Most often this is used to note that a creature is attacking you or your group "We've git aggro!" The term denotes the aggressive insterest of a monster/npc. If a person says, "Go aggro that monster" it means to intentionally get the enemy to attack you.
Aggro Radius - This is distance from wich an enemy decides to attack a character. This radius is infuenced by level difference between the monster and the character (with relatively tougher monsters aggroing from farther away). This distance is also influenced by the type of creature involved, as a number of predators have a larger aggro radius to begin with.
Agility - Agility is an attribute in World of Warcraft. This attribute determines a character's ability to Dodge attacks, score Critical Hits (that deal at least twice the damage), and deal more damage in general with thier attacks (though this is only true with certain classes).
AKA - Shorthand for Also Known As.

Sometimes these are based on a circle around a spicific target person (the caster or an enemy off in the distance). These can also be based off of a selected area (these are called ground targeted AoEs).

Artificial Intelligence - Or Al. NPCs of various sorts have a certain level of intelligence that determines their activities in and outside of battle.
Attack Power (AP)- this is a statistic that influences the physical Damage Per Second (DPS) of your Character. Having a higher melee Attack Power greatly helps in dealing more damage, especially with heavier weapons. Having a higher ranged Attack Power increases orverall ranged damage.

Broken - A spell, ability, class,or tactic that is unbalanced and overpowered.
BTW - By the way
Bind - To bind a certain inn with your Heartstone (HS) (so that you can teleport there in the future). This can also be used to define what an itme Binds to your character on pickup (BoP) or on first equip (BoE).
Bind on Equip (BoE) - This means that a specific item will Bind to your character the first time it is equipped. After that point, it will be soulbound, it cannot be traded or put onto the Auction House. Before that time, normal trade is completely allowable.

C

Code:

Camp - To control a given area in the hopes of getting all the monster spawns for yourself/your group, or for the purpose of stopping PvP enemies from having safety there. You can camp an area, a graveyard, the corpse if a fallen enemy, and so forth. This often involves multiple people to be done most effectively (the group fans out and watches for anything that will try to disrupt their activities).
Carebear - Somewhat derogatory name for a person who avoids PvP, plays on a non-PvP servers, and so forth.
Cast - To use a spell. This may occur instantly with some spells (instant-cast spells have almost no delay of any sort) or require up to several seconds of time invested in the casting process during which interruptions may occur if the caster is struck.
Caster - A person who is capable of casting spells. Often used to refer to Mages, Warlocks, Priests, and Druids who stay in Caster Form. It is implied in the name that the person is a softer target who need either protection or fast elimination, depending on their affiliations. "Kill thier casters first, they are supporting the flag carrier!!!"
Chain Casting - Going from one spell directly into next. "That Shaman Chain Casts Lesser Healing Wave every time she gets in trouble."
Cheese - A method of winning that isn't exploitive but appears to be unfair in one or another way. This may be quite inaccurate in some cases. This is a synonym for abuse.

Combat Pet - Warlocks, Hunters, and Death Knights have pets that can fight beside them and greatly affect the outcome of combat.

Corpse Camping - To stay near a slain enemy in world PvP in an attempt to prevent them for resurrecting at their body without being killed aigan. This is not griefing by definition. It is also not friendly and is considered a fair act of aggression against the party being camped.

Creep - Term for neutral creatures.
Crit - Short term for a Critical Hit (a blow that deals roughly twice normal damage).
Critters - Creatures in the wild that have no combat capabilities (Small snakes, rabbits, etc.). Killing these is absolutely not necessary, exept if your doing it for achievement.
Crowd Control (CC) - Using spells or abilities to disable enemy targets for a substantial period. Sap, Polymorph, and Fear are major examples of POWERFUL Crowd Control that not only limits the enemies options to act, but almost removes them entirely from combat. Lesser/limited Crowd Control may inhibit movement but still allow enemies a moderate amount of control: Frost Nova, roots, and Hamstring are good examples of limited control.
Customer Service Representative - The game staff that exist to help players with major problems. Often called GMs by players.

D

Code:

Damage Mitigation - The Armor statistic is compared to a table of estimated Armor values for a given level. The result is your character's Damage Mitigation (found by highlighting the Armor stat on your character page). This value roughly explains the amount of damageabsorbed by your armor when your character is struck by a creature of similar level. Abilities and Spells can influence both Armor and Damage Mitigation.
Damage Per Second (DPS) - Base damage from a spell, weapon, or ability is only part of the story. Damage Per Second is a way to figure out how effective, per unit time, a given action is. The higher the DPS, the more damage an activity can produce. This is often more important for attrition PvP or PvE situations. In short-term PvP, burst damage is more important than specific DPS.
Debuff - A debuff is any spell that goes on an enemy target and stays there for a period of time. Some deal damage, some reduce stats.
Defense - This stat determines how often your character is struck physical and how often such blows are Critical Hits. This stat has a cap of five time the character's level and increases toward the that cap when your character is attacked.

Dispel - To remove a Debuff from an ally or to remove a positive effect fom a foe.

Flagged - To be PvP enabled. On PvE, Standard RP servers, and in the started Zones, using /pvp is required before fighting against the other faction is possible. Once /pvp is used, you are Flagged.
Flight - Both factions use bats/gryphons/etc to fly characters between cities and towns. People may refer to this as being "on the bird."

Graveyard - A place where characters return after death. The spirits can run back to their bodies for life to begin anew, or they can Ressurect at the Spirit Healer nearby (this damages their equipment and causes a status debuff for a short time).
Graveyard Camping - Staying in areas where enemies are spawned in the Battlegrounds or use the Spirit Healer in the normal world, THis is considered to be in very poor taste by many players and may (in some servers) be defined as griefing.
Grief - Making an active effort to harass another player that goes beyond the rules of the game. Graveyard Camping another player, Kill Stealing, and other malicious acts are included in this.
Grind - To specifically gain experience by attacking mosnters (as opposed to questing for experience). Often repetitive and mindless.
Group Loot - A standard set of loot rules for groups in instances. Group Loot does a Round Robin system for standard items, letting each person loot a fair number of bodies. Then, when items of a chosen threshold drop, window appears that allows people roll Need,Greed, or Pass on the item.
Group/Party - A team of up to five characters that are invited (/inv) to complete common goals. This is great for questing and almost mandatory for doing instance dungeons at their appropriate level.

Not the attitude I expect from you, if a player is busy, you do not do it for them, you wait untill they are not busy to add it. - You are supposed to moderate the forums, and give player's feedback and improve ments and to post tutorials.

Warning +1

Nicely written
This can be very useful for new, as well as old, players of WoW.
