I've been gone from this place for some time, but I noticed it when i came back a few years ago and it's still a thing now. What happened to Casual? It looks as though it's just an extension of advanced anymore. The post length is almost indistinguishable in many of the longer standing ones that I've checked out. Whatever happened to a couple of paragraphs per post, with more or less being acceptable when needed? When did casual turn into each poster writing an entire book page for one or possibly three characters at a time? If someone wanted to play old casual, with just two or three paragraphs a post, are they forced into the free section now? It just seems so daunting anymore to look into casual and be slapped in the face with these massive walls of text with each post when it didn't used to be like that.

@Pyro V Casual is just a mishmash of all three writing categories at this point so in all honesty if you want "old casual" just ask for posts that size or whatever.

Relax. Nobody thinks ill of shorter posters in casual. You can absolutely still get away with 2-3 paragraph posts, as I often tend to.

The only difference between casual and advanced is more eyes are on casual because the word advanced is scary

We gentrified the guild, the filthy casuals are basically advanced now.

Example of Free:
He went to the door, and opened the door

Example of Casual:
As he went to the door he realized that it was locked, not with a key but with a deadbolt. Carefully he slid the bolt, turned the handle and opened the door.

Example of Advanced:

This is clearly false. I see some paragraphs with only 4 lines.

Tonbe honest, Casual can vary drom just above free to adcanced without being in advanced sections.

As a clear divide. Its not really one.

It's more a sliding scale.
