assumptions assumptions
i hate arguing against assumptions

PST predates WoW by far, now is there an older MMO that only had tells in it?
Star Wars Galaxies has /tell only. For years didn't even have /reply nor could you click someones name to send a tell to them. Everytime you wanted to reply or send a tell you had to /tell johnboy. Man that was annoying.
MUDs predate graphical MMOs, and from what I recall most of them used /whisper or /page.

I think I few did use /tell, though. Just because SWG used /tell only doesn't mean they invented it.
