Glossary

B

Blizzard

The developers of several games, including World of Warcraft.

R

Real Money Trading

Trading in game items or currencies to players for real world currencies. This is usually against a game's Terms of Use, as it can negatively affect the game's own economy, expose players to account theft, and gives some players an unfair advantage.

Rolling

Refers to either the initial creation of a character, from table-top RPGs, where you'd determine a characters starting stats by rolling dice; or rolling to determine who gets loot drops. Need/Greed will do this automatically, but there is also a /roll [number] slash command for players to use, when a different loot system has been selected before a dungeon starts.

V

Veteran Edition

An account that has returned to Starter Edition limitations due to expiration of paid game time. Veterans can retain access to certain traded items/enhancements otherwise unavailable to non-upgraded Starter Edition accounts. 'Veteran Edition' is not an officially used Blizzard term, as they consider all accounts that aren't on paid game-time to be Starter Edition.
