AFKGamer has a post up to this WoW Knowledge Test and it’s driving me crazy. There are a bunch of abbreviations and you have to figure out what they mean, but they’re not as simple as LFG, AFK or for easily recognizable place abbreviations like BB or SFK. Oh no, these take things to a whole new level.

I’ve managed to answer 8 of the 24 questions, but I’m totally stuck. Anyone have more answers? The ones I got are after the break. If you play WoW you should try it before reading my answers!

UPDATE: Thanks to helpful folks posting to the comments section, we now have the complete answers!
(I put stars by the ones I got, just in case you were wondering)

That’s so annoying! I had #11 as
3 40 M*A*n Raid Instances. Grrrr.

Oh, and I tried #20 as 3 Cities on Each Continent. So close.

Thanks for some answers!
