What is an OP

I keep seeing people in the forums refer to posters as "OP", as in the "the OP who posted above clearly doesn't get it". I know what OP means in the context of being over-powered, like "the Boss is OP", but what's it mean here? The poster's name isn't OP?

    In regards to forums, OP often means "original poster" or "original post." In regards to the game in general, OP means "overpowered." You'd have to check the context of what it's being used in to be sure of which they mean.

    Taken in context it most often means original post, original poster, or overpowered.

    The game's central concept of "PvP in PvP areas and be safe in safe areas" needs to stay the way it is.

    It depends on the context,
    • When talking about a person on a forum it usually means original poster, ie the person who started the thread.
    • When talking about a post on the forum It usually means opening post, ie the first post in the thread.
    • When talking about items, skills, classes etc in a game it usually means over powered, ie unbalanced compared to other items, skills or classes that are supposed to be its equal.

    Wal-Mart carries a wide selection of Ocean Pacific T-shirts, too. They usually have artsy-fartsy designs that cover the majority of the shirt. These designs often contain skulls or crosses as the core of their pattern.

    According to the Urban dictionary it's a ***, I don't see what Op has to do with a ball or roll of seasoned chopped liver though! ;)
