It's not uncommon for us on ROK to go around 2,000 words depending on the subject. Sometimes you're discussing a topic that needs more explanation and in-depth analysis than another, for example. Other times you want to paint a mental picture and really engage the reader in the environment and story you're trying to create.
Wordiness just for the sake of words, though, isn't advisable. The length of what you write should be commensurate to the topic.
