Welcome to the amazing world of the Lord of the Rings Online! Before you can rush off to explore Middle-Earth and kill countless orcs and goblins, you will need to create a new game character.
Root: a skill that causes the target to become unable to move for a short amount of time. Freeps: stands for free peoples, meaning the normal characters in Middle-Earth (dwarf - elf - hobbit - human). The result depends on the combo that is made (more info later on). When the enemy recovers from his stun, all fellowship members will perform a fellowship maneuver. The enemy will be stunned for about 10 seconds (I think), and you will be able to choose between 4 options: a red, blue, green or yellow circle. FM: fellowship maneuver, these sometimes occur when you're fighting enemies in a fellowship. HoT: heal over time, heals the target for a certain amount of morale (or power if cast by a Lore-Master) over time. 
DoT: damage over time, this will inflict a certain amount of damage every x seconds. AoE attacks: area of effect, attacks that damage multiple foes within a certain range. Aggro: (aggravation) can be used as a verb, meaning alerting an enemy so it will start to attack you, or it can be used as a noun, meaning the threat that you are to an enemy in a fight. 
Adds: enemies that attack you after you've begun a fight with another enemy. DPS: damage per second, this can indicate the player that deals most of the damage in a fellowship, or it can indicate the dps-value of a weapon. 
Tank = person who takes most of the damage in a fellowship to protect players with lower defense.RK = rune-keeper, LM = lore-master, mini = minstrel.Alts / toons: other characters on the same account.This is a small overview of commonly used terms and abbreviations (some are also used on other parts of the internet). You may know some of these terms, others might be completely new to you. Be warned, it’s a very, very long post… Please excuse me for that. If you find anything that isn't correct or is incomplete in this guide, please let me know and I will edit it. This is something I wrote with the intention of helping new players with some questions they might have. Hi all, this is a guide I wrote about 2 months ago, and since a big part of the official game forums and websites are gonna disappear soon I thought I'd post it here to preserve the knowledge
