Hi guys. This is the first mmo I've ever played and I'm really unfamiliar with a lot of the jargon used. What is dps? What does it mean to tank? Plenty of others but those 2 off the top of my head. Feel free to add anything else you think an mmo newb should know. Cheers.

    Dps= Damage per second

    Tanking= Keeping a boss or enemies aggroed onto you (attacking you) so others with less health won't be harmed, and they can deal dps without being killed. Tanking requires a lot of health and defense, and some stamina for blocking.

    Other helpful terms would be, "WTS Werewolf bite" which is a sign that if you speak to said person and deal with him you will lose upwards of 2k gold.

    WTS= Want to sell

    Some will apply to ESO
    Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.
