Tom,

Is there a way we can separate simulating a medieval world from hardcore 
roleplay?  I never maintained a character on FEI simply because I often don't 
have time to follow and post the RP that happens(-ed) there.  However, I 
would love the opportunity to play on an islands where there is very clear 
expectation that everybody acts like a medieval noble.

If the standard is that you need act like a medieval noble, and clearly 
justify your actions where there is some doubt, then I will find a way to put 
a character on Dwilight.  On the other hand, if I will have to write a 
lengthy RP about everything I do, I simply won't have time to play there (see 
above).
