XP or EP?

[werk]

I've heard more and more people calling experience points E.P. Maybe I'm old, but it was always abbreviated X.P. before.

What do you say?

I believe D&D originally used the abbreviation "XP" to avoid confusion with the electrum piece, or "ep."

Since electrum has been purged from the game, I imagine a lot of people are defaulting to "ep" because, well, "experience" starts with "e."

XP forever!

No idea. I certainly do NOT. XP all the way!

E.P. is initially correct, but X.P. is an abbreviated way of saying it. EX-perience. EX=X [well, when sounding them out]. XP.

I have a player who not only abbreviates it E.P. but pronounces it "eeps." Annoys me to no end for some reason.

XP!

Dude.

D&D 3.x = Dungeon-punk = Xtreme D&D. It's all about the X, yo.

Saying "eee pee" is for housewives and little girls.

I use XP too, but I have a "Peeps for Eeps" program where I award bonus XP to people who eat old, stale, nasty marshmallow Peep Easter candy. "Peeps for XP" sounds stupid, so Eeps is the natural label.

Isn't people using EP "eepe" one of the end of days signs? (chuckling)




Yep belive it is.
