2. What does PST stand for in online gaming?

Please send tell

In online gaming, PST is synonymous with "DM me." You're most likely to encounter this acronym while playing an MMORPG, when another player wants you to send them a private message.

Origin of PST

In old MUDs and MMORPGs, players often used the command "tell" to send each other private messages. Thus, if a player wanted to converse via private message, they'd ask another player to Please Send Tell, or PST.

Some modern MMORPGs retain this usage of /tell. For example, in FFXIV, players can use the /tell command to send a DM, and in WoW, players can use /t (short for /tell). Thus, MMORPG players still frequently use the PST acronym to request DMs.
