Here are some basic gaming definitions, if you're not used to talking this way or playing games. This comic explains an adult's experience far better than I can when it comes to online games.
Noob/nub/newb/n00b = "Newbie", sometimes derogatory, meaning you're not playing up to someone else's standards or that you don't know how everything works well enough.
LFG = Looking for group or guild.
PVP = Player vs. Player.
GR = Guild recruiting.
PVE/PVM = player vs. everything, player vs. monster.
WTB/WTS = Want to Buy, Want to Sell. The trading of items in games from one player to another.
AI = Artificial intelligence. Monsters and NPC's and mercenary/hero type creatures have varying types.
NPC = Non-playing character. Typically a character who isn't played by a real person that aids (or is a big pain in the rear) in a mission or side quest.
Aggro = Aggressive creatures who will attack when your character(s) come within sight.
