So there you have, you asked for it; jumping ala WoW, now you all got it. Congratulations.
By saying that jump won't be used to cover "vast distances" on the map, he's most likely referring to MMOs like Aion, where you can jump and glide to zoom around the map. Considering that they're implementing jump as well as redesigning the map, I think it's reasonable to expect at least some jumping from ledge to ledge in the game. Whether or not you'll HAVE to do it to get to certain areas is a different thing. I hope so, though. Sounds like fun.
