really...another post....

anyway, here is some comments from Yoshida from a recent interview for 3.5 and other stuff including a question about jump potions.

Cry as much as you like that it's not required, but it's time to face reality and just live with it.

I'll just copy and paste what was discussed and you can all make up your opinion on the matter.

Q: The jumping potion really divides the players?

Y: There are players that think that all new players will buy jumping potions and get to level 60. I wanted to clear that misconception up. Also, there is no gathering or crafting jumping potions, so it won’t have any influence on the economy of the game. Besides, even if players use the jumping potion, they won’t be at the level cap immediately. They still have to do the last part of leveling by themselves. The price of the potion is also quite high, so not everyone will be able to buy it, nor will it be given out lightly. We have data from the Korean and Chinese versions, too, so we will make final decision by the end of January on whether we will implement the potion in 4.0 or at a later time.
