Lets not overreact please? Yes game hopping is often seen negatively exactly for the reasons mentioned already in this thread. It's hard to trust someone into a complex storyline that could span over many months when the player is knoen to hop to a new game 4 months after release. Relax, hopping is not you playing years in a game then years in another then another! It's staying few months only in a game and leaving for reasons your own. I tried many games on the side myself but really roleplayed seriously in EQ and EQ2 so those are the one worth mentioning.Â
Hopping doesn't make you a bad players or role-player! But it *could* makes it harder to get involved in long stories. In the end of the day you decide how you present yourself!
My advice (they work for me anyway) for walk to RP already going on: listen to what the rp is about, wait at a proper moment to walk up and comment directly to them. Emoting doesn't work half the time. Are they preparing an expedition to explore the ruins of xyz? "Sorry to interrupt but I heard you are going up to xyz? I know the land pretty well 'round these parts, need a guide?"
And so on. If they are interested they will jump on the occasion to have someone participate! I found that direct approach to give results. You can also start up something and ask them if they are interested in exploring the ruins of xyz etc.
