Well, other online games or services (MMOs, MUDs, MUSHes and BBS chats) have used /whisper for sending private messages to other players/users, so folks using that term were probably influenced by those. Referencing the post you replied to, I think DPS is a perfectly cromulent word because a DPS class is one that specializes in dealing high damage per second. Other classes may have some DPS, (and some DPS classes may have capacity for tanking or healing) but it's not their specialty.

As an old-school PnP RPGer, "character" is my term of choice.
