Did they remove bunny hopping?

Did they ever announce if they removed the bunny hopping? I know there was some discussion on it.

    Bunnyhopping is a concept we are trying hard to remove from gameplay but at the same in players we trust to find ways of abusing their abilities. In that case we will take appropriate action if we think something is game breaking or does not agree with the spirit of Darkfall: Unholy Wars.

    The above is my personal opinion. Anyone displaying a view contrary to my opinion is obviously WRONG and should STHU. (neener neener)

    They are not taking it out of the game but they are adding in more falling damage, so bunny hopping will not be as common. 

    I took this from another thread:

    BUNNY-JUMPING
    Fall damage has been increased to reach the cap of the game, and if a player takes enough fall damage to kill them, that player becomes incapacitated. The 'Slow Fall' spell is a great utility added to the game to counteract this, but it is on a long cooldown. People can become incapacitated from bunny hopping.

    So basically people will still be in heavy armor hopping in circles while they fight.

    Depends on what school they put the movement spells into.  If it's anything other than lesser or greater magic, supposedly a heavy armor-wearing warrior role would not have access to those spells.

    No.. if you bunnyhop too hard you get "stunned" and you are dead, who would still use that..

    Running away from a fight bunnyhopping with 1hp wont be an option anymore.

    Maybe a single *hop* to disengage will still be possible (maybe only for a certain class.. a supersquishy mage with enhanced movement abilities?)

    This bothers me because it sounds like they have no idea how to fix bunny hopping. It was an exploit in quake, it was an exploit in counter strike and its an exploit in darkfall no matter what kind of excuses people are making to justify it as gameplay.

    The fact that were going into their new game with this shit still in the game tells me its gonna be the same old shit with problems with the.game not getting fixed in an decent ammount of time.

    Well to be honest bunny hoping is dumb and artificial even for naked characters.

    Bunny hoping is a bane of many FPS'es.   Quake or Unreal come to mind.

    They have fixed it, maxing out fall damage prevents it and they added in being incapacitated, meaning you bunny hop down to 0 HP yo cant move and lay on the groudn for a period of time, there is 1 spell to prevent fall damage with what they describe has a long cool down.  Im sure certains spells will be removed as well, begone for one...probably shrapnel, two spells that found very little use aside from bunny hopping away.

    According to AV, they have made sure Magic isnt the only route to take in UW and have made sure diversity in play styles will be paid attention to.

    Different kind of bunny hopping. Its not hopping up and down in circles to avoid shots, its using certain spells that physically launch you up and away at a much faster rate than you could run (like 3-4x faster in some cases). You can cast a few different spells in quick succession allowing you to cover great distance while flying through the air to get away from people when youre going to lose a fight, or chase people down who would have otherwise been able to keep their distance from you. It also makes you much harder to hit because youre moving much faster than you should be able to, allowing people to heal back up to full health easily and then turn around and continue fighting.

    Don't forgot the ability to go faster than the fastest mount in the game (Blue-Tail Runner) and SHIPS.

    From what i understand they have really incresed the damage taken from falling.

    Thet even said you should to be careful running downhill and jumping at the same time because of the damage.  So it is a start to remove this crap with bunny hopping : )
