I agree with the above post. Take a golf game. Is that an RPG. Taking the role of a golfer e.g Tiger Woods.
FEAR (fps) taking the role of a combat soldier to kill. An RPG.
YES these are all RPG's.
Planetside where you fight as soldier for army and Huxley will be and are MMOCDGFPS- role playing games like Golf but with alot of players in which you shoot in first person view.
Games like WOW, 9dragons and Vanguard (hate all of these) should be classified as different games. I.E something along the lines of MMOCDG's (Character Development Games - This is not a real title for certain games btw, just a good idead) as mentioned above. These are games inwhich a character is developed, skills are learnt etc. SECONDLY it does not matter if an CDG is not in 3rd person view or text based. Im sick of people going ohohoh its an MMOFPS because its in first person view - NO - its because the game designer wanted it that way so you could enjoy the game more.
Lastly, MMOFPS in my opinion, is just an RPG, inwhich you kill someone with a gun in first perosn view with many more online player.
For those who cant read long pasasges:
FEAR, GOLF, RACING games= RPG's (you play the role of someone else)
Planetside, Huxley = MMOCDGFPS (You develop a character with a gun in your hand in First person view)
WOW, 9dragons = MMOCDG (Develop a character the classic 3rd person view way with grinding and quests etc.)
MMOFPS = Games inwhich you shoot people in first person view along with many more people (Massively Multiplayer Online)
These are my personal views. I grant you yours may be different.
