How can a map be and not be a RPG at the same time? And can you give us an example of such a map too?

I think he means people made maps that were RPG's but didnt plaster the name RPG all over them so the mentally ill would know it was one when playing it.

The day I can use the term "AAG" for Action/Adventure Game and not have to tell every goddamn person who asks what it stands for is the day I'll start using it.
Sure, they're not RPGs. But you can join one and you pretty much know why it means. Its just the closet widely-known term that could be used.

According to this, the Forum RPG isn't an RPG at all.

Use something a little easier to understand(such as wanna-be-RPG) so that it doesn't attract crapheads that like to play it simply because it has "Rpg" in the title, and thus join without doing anything except posting one post and letting the bank make them rich, and just battling(with no more posts afterward).

Err... that's just one of my insanity thought in which I think all kinds of insane random thoughts. That are insanely random.

Well, what else can we call it? And how would a "real" forum RPG look like?

If you want to get technical, the real RPGs (on StarCraft) are the maps like Galaxies End RP, or Adventures RP, because you actually have to roleplay in those maps. What does dialogue or a battle system in a map have to do with making it an RPG? It's not you saying it, and you're not roleplaying.
If dialogue or battle systems can make a map an RPG, then so can leveling up or gaining abilities. I think what you're looking for is a "good" RPG map.

But then, in the case of an Rp, it's not a "game". Thus "Rp" rather than "rpg". I think what it would be he's looking for is an Rpg with a good, fun battle system, some kinda plot other than:
There's this one dude who wants to do this one evil thing. You're some dude that goes on a quest to kill him.
A plot worthy enough of having the Heroes actualy say stuff.

Call it Action/Adventure only if you feel it should be changed, Yoshi. Like I said before, I only made this thread to vent some steam about this.

Not a problem. I think I'll keep it RPG because the creator calls it an RPG, and its not my place to rename it.

I never found the interest in RP's; most lack anything other that the ability to create units, and set certain point levels. Also they have nice terrain. The rest is up to the players, but then you're just turning it into a player made "RPG", which the best example of is Advanced Dungeon and Dragons, because you will always get people being heroes. KcK you've made Three Kingdoms with three heroes, so in essence its an RPG...

Heh, i agree with you all. My main issue with alot of the RPG's out there is there arnt enough good ones. A few of the final fantasy ones are creative and great to play like Final Fantasy 3 or Final Fantasy Plus. Or other fun ones like Pandoraths Return. But most of them are rip offs of other maps or just have really poor gameplay or not enough detial put into them.

Destickied and moved. It's a valid point, but it doesn't seem to have changed the naming conventions much of RPG maps for the 2 years it's been a sticky. 
Not too forum-critical, anyway.
Just call them Adventure maps and be done with it.
