With respect, Blood Fang, the developers' calling it a "Competitive Online Role-Playing Game" is a PR tool that's been used frequently before, and to little effect. At least, from the FAQ material you posted, it sounds no more competitive (and no less) than many other MMORPGs that are available. By definition, it is the latter, and fits in all respects. How it chooses to distinguish itself from the pack will ultimately be a matter of features not duplicated elsewhere, rather than re-naming its genre.
