Animal I Have Become 2006 track released on the Three Days Grace album One-X. Soon to be the background music of every Worgen PvP video, ever.
(At least for the alliance... horde already has an animal-like race)

Bank alt An anonymous character that conducts all buying and selling for your main, who is thus able to maintain a veneer of respectability while committing highway robbery on the auction house.

GearScore Your sexual prowess, financial health and in-game competence condensed to a single number. Whatever yours is, it's never big high enough.

Guild A group of players who have united under a single, typically ugly banner and a pretentious Latin name of uncertain declension.

Honorable kill Anything but.

Macro Short commands that can be mapped to a mouse button or hotkey and issued to the client. Generally copied off the internet and then used as labor-saving devices by players who grouse that the game is getting too easy.

Main The character over which you will have the loudest and most embarrassing tantrum if it gets nerfed.

Raid An in-game activity wherein people who don't like each other team up to do bosses they hate for loot that doesn't drop.

Ventrilo The most expedient method for poor typists to start fights.

White boy now!

Rofl.


"Forums, Discussion The circle of hell from which Dante ran screaming" ^_^ Nice Devil May Cry reference there.

"Guildies The only people for whom you will have the grace to feel guilty when your bank alt sells them something at a 5,000% markup." Been there.

"Raid An in-game activity wherein people who don't like each other team up to do bosses they hate for loot that doesn't drop."
Feel the same way.

DPS Damage Per Second. An all-encompassing term for players who cannot get out of the fire, spread out, collapse on the star, target the skull, target the X, control their aggro, stay out of the kite path or master a two-button rotation. While they are widely assumed to have the intelligence and survivability of a gnat, DPS players are nonetheless of incalculable value to raids as convenient (and blessedly numerous) scapegoats.

Druid A class populated by dilettantes who, uncomfortable at being tied to one role, are happier being incompetent at four. Has the worst class columnist at WoW.com.

Macro Short commands that can be mapped to a mouse button or hotkey and issued to the client. Generally copied off the internet and then used as labor-saving devices by players who grouse that the game is getting too easy.

Mage Hates warlocks. In this, they are somewhat difficult to distinguish from the rest of the player base.

Paladin The class of choice for every weasel who scribbled immortality cheats on the manual before installing a game. Currently the most popular class, the paladin combines the game's best defensive cooldowns with a frightening amount of burst damage or healing. Suggestions for possible fixes have ranged from those of the developers, who advocate folding some defensive skills back into the tanking tree, to paladins' battleground victims, who advocate nuking the class from orbit and salting the hard drives of the developers.

Ghostcrawler A former marine science professor and now lead systems designer. After arriving at Blizzard, he assigned himself to the forums, ....

Guild A group of players who have united under a single, typically ugly banner and a pretentious Latin name of uncertain declension.

Honorable kill Anything but.

World of Warcraft An MMORPG of unprecedented popularity attracting an audience of increasingly non-traditional gamers. WoW is a huge time sink, confusing to keep up with, annoyingly complicated at higher levels, of absolutely no redeeming social value whatsoever and a complete blast to play.
