May as well just drop the RPG from all the big graphical muds then,
as there is little to no roleplaying going on in them. I submit that
RPG has become a distinct term in its own right and has nothing to
do with "roleplaying" anymore. When Dungeon Siege calls itself an
RPG, I feel safe saying that.
