Since Tibia started, players have created ways to say some words easier and faster. This is considered anti-roleplaying, but most people use these abbreviations in everyday conversations.
There are some roleplayers that refuse to use these words and even refuse to use chat channels . Instead they will use the default channel (if they are standing near the other person), or write letters to converse with a player that is further away.
