	Kai, are you saying that whoever's (dont feel like searching to see who made it originally) comment that online rpg is identical (the comment that some people just call it an online rpg, but let's face it, they have a point)? My edit is very accurate, one example (of the second type of "online rpg", where it just means one capable of going online) is baldur's gate, where you just do the singlke player mode with a few players. That is nothing like an MMORPG. As for the first one, there aren't any huge ones, but just sdearch for "online rpg" and you'll find a few singleplayer ones.<br\>		Kai, are you saying that whoever's (dont feel like searching to see who made it originally) comment that online rpg is identical (the comment that some people just call it an online rpg, but let's face it, they have a point)?

			The article did not say that the terms 'MMORPG' and 'online RPG' were identical. It said that people will often use the latter instead of the former.<br\>

New page

I disagree with this edit. I grant that 'online RPG' is ambiguous, but nobody claimed that the two terms were identical. And the persistence of the world is just a product of the massively multiplayer-ness. I don't think it needs to be examined in detail.<br\>
