New PS Jargon Translation Guide
The following PS Jargon to Standard American English translation guide is here to help you understand various posts you may read about Planetside. It has been noted that much mis-understanding has occured through the use of Jargon and therefore a set of standard definitions should be created for everyone's benefit and use.
