Since dark brotherhood is already abbreviated to db, we need an official abbreviation. Personally is go with DBO

    If the name of the bone dragon starts with a Z letter, it should be DBZ (Dragon Bones of Z***) :smiley:

    Dragonbone does not need to be abbreviated. Dark Brotherhood is a DLC name, Guild name, and Skill line name, so it has ample reason to be shortened to DB. However, Dragonbones is only a DLC name for two dungeons, which will have their own abbreviations and completely eliminate the need for anyone to use one for the Dragonbone DLC that encompasses them.

    DB

    No one ever popularized different abbreviations for terms with the same first letters in this game before.
    DAGON - ALTADOON - CHIM - GHARTOK
    The Covenant is broken. The Enemy has won...

    I highly doubt anyone that sees vDB or nDB in zone chat is going to think someone wants to do dark brotherhood missions. It will end up being DB.

    -edit- Wait is DB just the dlc name or is it also one of the dungeon names. I guess if just the DLC name then it's a bit different.

    The “Dragon Bones” patch
    Back in “Dragonbones”
    Remember that Sorc nerf in “Dragon bones”
    ZOS added this dungeon with “Dragon Bones”
    Down to run a “dragon” dungeon
    Synergies were changed with “Dragon Bones”
    back in “dragonbone” patch we got transmog
    Outfitting came with “Dragon Bones” dlc
    “Dragonbones” was the dlc where we got skilladvisor
    The “Dragon” dlc was cool

    .... I think that we’ll just say Dragon Bones. No need to abbreviate this one.

    Anyone would want to do one of the HotR dungeons? Or do you like to run one of the SotH dungeons instead? You know, RoM or CoS. We can do v or n, idc. Anyways, LFM 3M or just LFG. Thx.

    DRB
    DrB, with lower case "r" since it is not the first letter of any of the words that make up the name of the DLC.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    HotR dungeons vs FH or BF. Which is shorter, even when mentioning both? There's only so far that you can defend complete and utter laziness, and this is coming from an Xbox player that has to use a controller or smartglass on a phone to use text chat.

    I'd say DBones or DBs. Honestly, people hardly ever refer to the dungeon packs. It's usually the individual dungeons.

    We'll change Dark Brotherhood to BRO.
