I've seen so, so many different definitions of "heavy RP". And I've seen a lot of definitions of "heavy RP" that are just completely nonsensical to me. In all honesty, I'm semi-convinced that the terms "heavy" and "light" carry no inherent meaning at all when referring to RP, and that people will just apply them as desired to describe people who they perceive as being more/less into, or better/worse at, the hobby than they are...
The way I used it in my directory thread was to refer to how often I roleplay and how long/involved my storylines are. No matter what genre the storylines are (domestic vs heroic, action vs romance, etc).
But I wouldn't say that being 24/7 IC is particularly common, desireable, or admired - I think I've met one person like that in all my time RPing in MMO's (10 years) and it was weird and, honestly, uncomfortable. Because they wouldn't respond to my whispers except ICly - and OOC communication is important.
