To me, remember this is my opinion and mines only, you'll know when you are ready when...

-You do not constantly write one-liners.
-You know how to fully explain what is happening around the character(s).
-You know how to express a character's feelings towards others, instead of having them act like a robot.

Mainly, if you don't write like a noob, be almighty like a noob, you're just ready for advanced roleplays.

My advice, try creating weak characters and throw them into an advance rp. also, describe everything from what your wearing, how it feels when your walking on different surfaces, if the wind is slightly blowing or very windy, and so on.
Also, and this is a biggy for me, when posting something your character says, don't just post that their saying it. but some action and emotions to it. also, if their thinking have them look different, let their emotions tell them what their thinking to other characters.
EX: lilsonic slides across the rough pavement which slightly warmed the bottom of his black timberland boots as his leather jacket flapped about from moving so quickly backwards. Coming to a stop he would fall to one knee as he held his slashed bleeding chest and glare upon his enemy with one eye closed tight and the other barely open to look at his opponent in pain while filled with anger as his teeth grind.
"You... You call that a hit!" he barely shouted through his tightly shut teeth as he slowly and painfully rose off from his knee and slid his feet into a fighting stance as he tried to maintain balance, also trying to ignore the rush of pain surging through him. END EX:

if you can pull something like that off, then your ready for advance to me. also, think real life wise. if your just standing around with your friends and your talking to them, you move about. and depending on your character some move about more then others when they talk. it could hand motions, not staying in one spot for too long, switching your position when you stand or lean up against something, and so on. also it all depends on what your talking about. if its bad news your body would react differently then if you were telling or receiving good news or just randomly talking.

so yea, I'm sure there is more but you'll pick these things up the more you rp in advance rps.

Sorry for the necropost (I always did like playing necromancers :D ), but another tip to keep in mind is to READ lots of advanced RPers at work. Not saying that you have to read entire threads, but you'll learn lots by watching pages here and there of different RPs. Make sure you read the posts of various RPers, not just the same people over and over again (but if some do pop up everywehre, it's only because they're really dedicated or really nooby :D ).
