Thanks for the comment! I think Brevik had said something like "and thus, the ARPG was born" in his talk about making Diablo real-time. And I think ARPG means diablo-like for many people. I have played action RPGs before Diablo myself (Legend, Faery Tale Adventure -- although I have played sequels in both cases) but they were more like RPG and less roguelike.
Complexity is hard to put in definitions, and leads to accusations of elitism...
I think I have seen "fps roguelike" used for DRL but it is rare.
