I'll give you what i can.

of the ones you've listed they are...


SoA= Soldier of Arachnos. One of the two villain epic AT's

MT= Mis-Tell. Something you said in chat that was put out over the wrong channel.

PBAoE= Player Based Area of Effect. Any power that radiates out from your character

let us know more and we can get you up to speed

part of it is real quick typing communication. RQ=Real Quick. LFT = Looking For a Team, and a hundred others. mish = mission. anything we can do to shorthand it, ya know. Many of these you will find anywhere, and are just used by us. ROFL, etc.

Others truly are City specific. There are hundreds if not more. AT = arch Type (character class) , each power set is called off by two or three letters. StJ = Street Justice, MA = Martial Arts. Inv/DM = Invulnerabilty Armor/Dark Melee. Also, because of the order it is a tank. A brute or stalker with those powersets would be DM/Inv. It gets thick fast, but there is definitely a pattern, and it's pretty intuitive.

"Soldiers of Arachnos" is the in-game term for BOTH Villain Epic Archetypes (aka VEATS, with HEATS being the Hero epics [Khelidans] and EATs referring to all epic archetypes).

Soldier, Arachnos Soldier, Huntsman, Bane, and Crab all refer to the Arachnos Soldier EAT, while Widow, Arachnos Widow, and Fortunata all refer to the Arachnos Widow EAT.
