Having not been a member of the Guild for too long, I cannot entirely say that I know the lines between each genre of detail well enough in the context of the site. I do, however, readily recognize that each subsection has its merits, but that I still - to this day and here - prefer extremely high Casual to Advanced; there's something about having the time, ability and reaching goal of giving a character purpose, opinion plot and a general "life". It is a whole element more the time factor, wherein it is unlikely I will miss any posts, particularly given that I live my life at night rather than the day.

That all said, Advanced certainly does move slower, simply by the virtue that each post and concept is so in depth, but at the same time it feels much more involving and rewarding (or so I feel) to the players and characters. I truly hate making characters I won't be able to use or fully express and evolve; most, those who don't see light of day, are often packaged and saved for later. Some I enjoy so much that I keep working on them and advancing their story and personality even without an actual roleplay so as to better understand them as individuals.

There also exists a sense of admiration and learning, in that I actually learned more about writing and the English language (as well as other ones) from roleplaying than I actually did through any formal education. Reading, as well as writing, truly [i]are[/i] the best ways to make one's self a better writer. Not to say Casual or Free players are worse writers or roleplayers; again, many are extremely creative and have the capacity for it, they just often have different reasons or tastes.

Overall though, I suppose I should digress to the topic at hand.

Yes, Advanced and high Casual move much slower, but there's also a lot more going on per individual post. All come with their benefits and draw backs.
