Yeah you're right there is no better term for it. I think that's funny considering we live in a society of constantly updating definitions whether we like it or not.
I think it might have something to do with the fact that the general online population of role players just does it freeform. Not enough people care about structure based RPGs. That being said I've seen some good freeform RPGs that have great storyline but I think they have two huge problems.
1. Lack of structure definitely is a problem and I can't tell you the amount of times I wanted to be a new player in a rp in a freeform situation and I just got lost in what was going on and nobody cared to summarize it or anything like that.
2. Lack of chance that good old dice provide. I love a world where I can role play and and it's not always going to go my way. When it comes to story based games I think the struggle is super important.
There are other problems of course but honestly I've always wanted to build something that would definitely fix these two problems online.
