But for some reason the 1/10th of the population that may bunny hop throws people in to a wild rage. I dont understand it and ive played more mmos then i can even remember at the moment, most of which had jump. I think being able to effectively scale terrain in a realistic manner is reason enough for implementation.
It could be seen as a sort of placeholder for when they have time to work on the mechanics for jumping. That's how i see it.

Then again, they also need to consider catering to those who do not want this game to end up being enhanced versions of WoW, PWI, etc. and to be fair, the majority of the people that post here do not want jump to be implemented. At least not right now.

So there really is no point in continuing these Jumping threads, in the longrun, it is up to the dev team and whether or not they want to work on something like this. It will take a long time to add this in, as they'd have to make changes to the maps, and work on the extra animations. Its not so simple.

I'm sure they wont be keeping the way we scale cliffs, they will think of some way of making it look pretty. just not now.
