An Online RPG can either be a game like Diablo 2 where
you buy it offline then play it online or
it can be an online-only RPG that is either played
in a browser and/or does not have the subscription
model of MMORPGs. Most of the time, Online RPGs
that fit into this latter category are free and a
large number of them are text-based.
