Welcome to the Guild!

I started RP in a similar situation, although in a very different community, and I can say that I definitely enjoyed the move to a slower pace. It helps, especially if you're looking for something more story driven. Gives you ample time to think about what your character will do to move the plot in ways that is sometimes not possible during live RP. I will admit however that the magic for live and pbp roleplay is very different so I can understand the desire to stick with what you know. I don't think RP has ever been quite as immersive for me as it was when I was doing it in chat, but then again, I was new to it all and everything tasted fresh back then.

Echoing what Kuro said, Free might be your go to as it's typically faster than the other sections but do check out the games played elsewhere. There's plenty to see and I'm sure there's an RP somewhere that'll interest you.

If you've got any questions, don't be afraid to ask!
