What does "o7" mean?

I see it a lot in the game, but haven't a clue (about this and mostly everything else)


My game is finally coming out on Steam April 28th!

It's a salute. I think it probably originally got popular in Eve . The o is the head, and the 7 is a bent arm.

I was surprised to find out that it is pretty popular in ff14 too

I usually saw o/ in FF14. Raised fist of "Lets go!" instead of the salute.

I can confirm it originally got popular in EVE Online in 2004. EVE is still going strong btw

Good to hear EVE still strong.
I played so much in the past, I loved that game, the lore and all around... but after more than 10 years in, I left it years ago.
Sadly, the game was more a side-job than a place to have fun.

P.S.: Does "patch day, no play" still a thing? :D

Yup. Came from Eve Online before Elite Dangerous got released.

before Elite got released

Not to be TOO pedantic, but before Elite Dangerous got released. But the original Elites weren't online so it wouldn't really have mattered, but it's still a distinction to be made.

o = head

7 = upstretched arm, hand bent to forehead in a saluting motion

As others said, it’s a salute. And it has been established as “o7” with in game voice overs also sometimes saying “oh seven, commander”. Which is good in my opinion because “<o”, while more accurate would be a bit judgemental (“less than oh, commander”), and I have two cats to judge me already.

This man asking the tough questions ... Much appreciated o7

When I was curious about what that meant in this subreddit, I got condescending responses just because I was in the dark about something that's been around a long time. Glad to see different responses here.

It’s what people think a salute is. A more appropriate salute is o> because saluting so that your arm looks like the number 7 is ridiculous and impossible for normal humans.

2

The small letter o represents a person's head, and the seven represents an arm with a hand. It's a salute o7 means salute, greetings, or I salute you.

salute

As other said, it's a salute. I personally prefer using a capital O, as the hand is closer to the "forehead", making it look more like the real thing: O7
