Uh, I think this is going to be the tenth time I've responded to a topic like this, but I love giving my opinion too much to pass up the opportunity to do it [i]again[/i].

Free gets a bad rap because there are no post expectations and one liners are allowed. And well,It's quite deserving of that reputation. But more often than not, you'll find roleplays where the players make some effort to create something legible. But things in here tend to feel sort of "empty" compared to their higher-tiered counterparts. That is to say depth is usually kind of shallow. Don't expect the evil organisation to have a reason for being evil, or for there to be any more to a character than what you get at face value. I don't post in here because I like depth and stuff, but it seems like a good place for people who aren't too picky about such things. 

"Casual" is really just a hub where Free and Advanced players meet, as everyone here would be just as happy to post in one of the other sections. as a result, the writing level is all over the place. I mostly RP here because there are a lot of people. There's really not much more to say. Casual doesn't really have an identity. 

Advanced is what it sounds like, sort of. I've heard that people in this section are pretentious "holier than thou" braggarts, but I really don't see that type of behavior when I look in threads. There is far more complaining about writing levels in casual than there is advanced. A lot of the people here also post in casual, though they tend to be more literate. I really must put emphasis that I have yet to see the snobby behavior everyone claims to see in the advanced section. I haven't posted here much because, again, there are more people in casual and that's just where I tend to go.

The Arena fascinates me, and I find myself dropping by just to see what's up. The idea of turning RP into a game where you try to outwit and outmaneuver the other person's character with words sounds entertaining. Unfortunately it seems like fights tend to be more decided by who's more stubborn or who has more friends. Glorified popularity contests. It's no wonder few fights ever finish.

The other sections don't interest me all that much.
