Also, you don't need to ramble on about the individual radius of every follicle of facial hair your character has nor do you need to go into excruciating detail about the particular fabric your character prefers their pants to be made out of in order to create a good character description. It's okay to leave some blanks here and there, that's what imagination is for. As long as you get the important details down, I promise that people will understand what your character looks like and write accordingly.

This. So much this.

When I was RPing in MMOs I found this happening more often than not. It was especially stupid considering you could see what their character looked like because..well..they were right in front of you. Yet, they still had to leave a detailed paragraph on what their hair was doing.

And if they didn't detail their looks, they detailed the environment. I can allow some detail on the surroundings, but sometimes they went to extreme limits to do this. It was also annoying because there was a text limit sometimes, you couldn't always get everything in one go, so it took them multiple times to get it going.

I haven't noticed it on here in a game yet, but it is still annoying.
