I don't see what a codebase has to do with wether or not its RPI. I used to play on a DIKU base MUD that was 'centred around RP', thank you very much.

I do agree with the definition itself though - if the game is essentially defined by its roleplaying I feel its RPI, while if roleplaying is merely one facet of the MUD, maybe not.

The criteria originally listed by KaVir, in my opinion, are good indicators of if a MUD is RPI or not, but not a good definition.

Also a note about the no OOC channels requirement... even Armageddon, a MUD I think we can all agree is an RPI, has OOC channels in the form of forums and people talking to each other over MSN, AIM etc... so I don't really see how that could be the part of any definition.
