Yeah, but ragdoll doesn't seem to have much use in an MMORPG, where dying is fairly scarce later game.
Ragdoll and physics are best for FPS/MMOFPS because of their more... I don't know... hands on feel. I just can't imagine an MMORPG with ragdoll, except in death of course. Even then it would be a CPU waste because of how rare death is in most current MMORPGs.

what exactly is ragdoll?

Ragdoll is a system (in this case, it is called the Havok ragdoll system) to create realistic movements for people. When they die, when they fall, basically it ensures that you won't see a bunch of heads going through walls. Instead, the head will prop up against the wall or go to the side, so it looks realistic. If your character falls on a bunch of rocks, you will see his body hit the rocks and react accordingly.

Well what are you talking about? ragdoll would be great for an MMROPG, i'm sick of everything going through walls etc. Not to mention that your weapon magically hits the combatant, going right through them, with their health hardly damaged. Ragdoll would be good for all games because it adds a sense of realism.

in mmorpgs, when u die u usually fall straight down. unless it were down stairs thats not too good an idea, as thered be no point if it only got use at certain places. it is really kool, i like to die on purpose in ut2003 just to see them in action sometimes.
