This is a very interesting phenomenon. I have been playing SWTOR and in the game heavy RP means, on the one hand, that people create the whole system of roleplaying, but unfortunately it is made by a certain guild; on its website there can be a system which should be learned by a newbie, which, from my point of view, is terrible because it restricts gameplay; people who are not in that guild would not know anything about you; your abilities, the system of fighting, etc.
Furthermore, some guild follows the main storyline created by the developers, whereas, other guilds have their own narrative and they are a few years, days, etc. earlier than others. There is also another problem, because players have to spend hours to learn the system, which makes them nolives; it is sick.
On the other hand, some guilds, by saying heavy RP, refer to the shown universe. It means that every single newbie have to create their own characters with a background, of course referring to the universe of Star Wars and they are obliged to behave like a char in every single guild meeting, beyond it they can do whatever they want to. In my opinion, this is the best possible way of heavy RP, because mature people do not have time to spend it only in front of a computer, and creating various, multilayer systems, stories, etc.
