Now that we've gotten the "definition of an RPG" out of the way, excuse me for fueling the fires a bit.

If your point has been that Huxley is not an RPG, but only has elements of an RPG, then my question is this: How many elements of an RPG have to be in a game before it can be classified as an RPG?

I personally believe that Huxley has enough of these elements to be classified as an RPG, although not only an RPG. It is an MMOFPSRPG in my book.

An example of what my question has to do with is the new Heroes of Might and Magic game, Dark Messiah. The game is played from a first-person perspective and (with a bow) you can shoot things. It also allows the player to advance in skill and change their character. Person A might say that it is an FPS with RPG elements, while person B might say it is an RPG with FPS elements. Person C might say that it is an RPGFPS.
