I am trying to join a guild by sending a personal message. Is this the same as sending a whisper?

Yep! In trade you'll often see "PM" or "Whisp" or whatever, but it's all the same thing. There's only one method of privately contacting another person in GW.

Not quite. A PM is generally a Personal message on a forum whereas a Whisper is generally seen as a direct message to a person in game using the Whisper function (Right tab in your chat section).

In-game, if someone says PM it means whisper.

On guru, if someone says PM it means Private Message (forum feature).

Sometimes people also use "PST" for the same purpose.

"PST me"
"LFG for DD, PST"
"WTS consets 500g for full conset, PST with how many u need"

And PST is a term from other MMOs like WoW that actually means: "Please Send Tell" which is a term in those games for "whisper".

Question answered.

Closing thread before this gets even crazier
