As a user with their own roleplay group in game, I try to refrain from joining long-term groups in my down-time, because as I have little time to put into my own, I feel it is wrong for me to try and join more than one, and take up space in someone else's roleplay. My pride is my priority in game, and so when none of my members are on, and I'm stuck sitting in the map alone because I despise sitting in Fluorite, I'm wanting to join something else to pass the time.
I try to join short-term roleplays, or one's that will have so many members, they will not miss me if I'm gone.
However, because I'm a jerk of a person, I get angry that my members can freely roleplay-hop at their will. Whenever there is roleplay about to occur in the group's map, I pull up my friend's list and whisper every member in the group to let them know that there is roleplay going on and they are welcome to join if they so desire. But I can not count how many times these whispers go brushed off or ignored by the same user multiple times.
Do you as a player think it's okay to join multiple roleplays and never devote to one sole group? Or is it okay to have multiple groups to bounce around in as a fall back. In my experience, it's because the members tend to hop around that groups end up falling apart. And of course, that could be the group leader's fault for not providing a good enough experience for the group, but still.
I myself have been guilty of jumping, though I've tried to do it less since I've started the pride again, keeping it within one fall-back roleplay at a time, and keeping it unless the group becomes inactive itself.
Opinions and say-so's. Shoot.
