This is an on going list of terms and meanings. If something is not on the list then please let an admin know so it can be added.

Client - Every online game is made up of a Server and a client. The client is the term used to describe the players game install files, and therefore it is common for people to refer to this as your client.

Signs - Signs are usually found on sign posts, hanging over doors, and are the main triggers for zoning in EQ2Emulator (ie., click on a door which is actually a "sign" and you zone to a new location).

Objects - Objects are things like Statues, Rocks, Fences, generally objects in the zone that are not interacted with.

Widgets - Widgets are interactive objects in the world, such as Doors or clickable objects for quests/triggers, etc.

Groundspawns - Groundspawns are harvestable items usually picked up by Gathering. These items are made up of things like harvest nodes, ? or shiny, ! or pages, and quest items on the ground.

NPCs - NPCs are the humanoid, interactive spawns in a zone that players communicate, accept quests from, and engage in combat with.
