RPG players use OOC to signal they're talking "out of character." You're likely to see this acronym used while playing Dungeons & Dragons (DnD), World of Warcraft (WoW), or another game in which players pretend to be their characters.
How is OOC used while playing RPGs?
When a player is RPing a character, their chat messages are typically intended to be read as though their character said them. OOC messages, however, come directly from a player - not their character. So if, for example, someone in your party sends "OOC Gotta go to the bathroom," it means that player has to go to the bathroom IRL.
