You see, every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You spread to an area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.-Mr.Smith
hey, who really caes about jumping, really?
I do, not jumping restricts a game and makes it much more linear, IMO
As far as I know, the only type of jumping is in an emoticon. An emoticon is a movement your character does just like a skill but is not for combative purposes such as waving a hello or pointing a direction. I think that's the only time you can jump but maybe i'm wrong.
so, similar to the /jump command in guild wars? you can't actually use it to go anywhere, your avatar just jumps, correct?

Yeh, such a simple feature, which adds a lot to so-called freedom of your character though. In lineage 2 you felt free, you could end up in the ocean, jump over all kinds of stuff... It uses the same engine anyway, I wonder why they left it out. Being stuck against a little rock or some high grass for that matter doesn't add to realism...
Oh, so you mean like a jumping skill for combative or ingame purposes. Maybe they should also make it a gm skill where you can jump higher and faster for every level and when you reach level 7 or GM you can fly. I'm kidding. Well, the cora can teleport to move from a place to place like jumping and the acretian can use the warp gate skill to automatically make a gateway any selected place, so jumping is not so powerful if you think about it. It would be nice to have it but there are skills that substitute it.
wtf, you can jump in L2? lol! since when?
You make jokes in all but I remember playing a game where the higher level you were the higher you could jump.. I also remember wanting to level up as fast as I can so I could jump really high iike the high levels I saw running around :P It was just another of the many things to look forward to as I leveled. While im not asking that RF has that feature, not having any type of jumping (expecially in a PVP game) kinda takes away from the gameplay for me.. In most MMORPG PVP games I tend to move around alot and often times jump over my opponets head.
Hell even Diablo had jumping.. Blah Oh well what can you do.

Asian MMOs don't have jump, it is that simple.

Funny. The free asian MMO called Conquer Online. All you do is jump in that game.
This siggy is CGI that my cousin made in 4 hours.
3 out of 5 of the MMOs I play(ed) have a jump feature. While it does add to the feeling of movement and exploration (platform games) I think the concept of having a jump command is dependent on a game's mechanics. i.g. It'd be really weird to be able to jump in FFXI (suddenly areas and zones that were difficult to access are easily reached), but not being able to jump in City of Heroes/Villains would throw off the game entirely (no more super jump?!).
IN a game like this though, jump isn't really needed for what i see. If you wanted to use spacebar to do a jump emote you could set your options that way.
'Nuff said.

Asian MMOs that are popular, not free, and that I bother to care about because there are hundreds do not have jump features.
I don't think it matters if its asian or whatever, its really dependant on the engine like someone said earlier, because many games are developed more linearly (Guild Wars, FFXI, etc) while some are meant to have you explore all over the place in no particular order (Everquest 2, CoV/CoH, etc) while the latter does end up being american developed games on the most part, just because its asian doesn't mean that you can't jump.. thats just stupid!
well, there can be a lot said on the differences between asian video games, and american/european video games, especially in the RPG area, there are distinct stylistic differences which usually appear in each, by just looking at screenshots and some gameplay movies, you can tell where a game is made.
That aside, personally I never really saw the point in a jump feature, didnt see much use for it in WoW, as jumping around like an idiot doesnt help you dodge arrows or melee attacks, it just makes you look like an idiot, and there werent any places where having a jump feature was essential, though there were a few instances where it was kind of nice to have to get around one or two guys or to ambush someone, but that didnt happen all that much. Coupled with the fact that jumping must make level design harder because of certain problems (characters going where they shouldnt be, getting stuck and unable to get out) it really doesnt seem worth it. If an RPG like this (assuming it has the same or similar combat system as WoW does, where as long as you fire or swing, you have the same chance of hitting the guy if hes in front or behind you) has a jump button thats great, but if it doesnt, thats nothing to get bent out of shape about, just try to think of an instance where it has REALLY saved you.
As for jumping in RPGs I see where you're coming from, but being able to jump in WoW is essential within some of the higher level instances that're designed like platform game levels. From what I've seen of RF Online, though, I don't really think jumping would be necessary. I really don't see those heavy mechs catching much air without some type of launcher, heheh~ =P
personally i take these "turn based yet real time" as turn based games, since the rules are essentially the same, with the illusion of free movement and will. That said, Whats the point of having a jump function in something like the FF games, or knights of the old republic? Remember that these are RPGs, and not adventure games, though I would definitely play an MMOadvenure game over an MMORPG.
yep press h to go to keyboard mode then press v, it's just an emotion thouhg, not much use.
Even if you could jump in battle I don't see the point. Even if a Bellato jumped hard an Accrecian is still taller than him.
A simple ability such as Jumping gives an MMO some sort of freedom.
Not having such an ability makes it feel that you character is stuck to the ground.
I did notice that problem when I beta tested GW and I so did not like it.
That was 1 part that just turned me off on it.
An MMO w/o such a simple action as jumping is absurd IMHO.
Jumping should be a default ability.
Enabling you to jump over obstacles, onto things and just jumpiong in the air if you want to.
It shouldn't be an emote like waving saying hello or what not.
With that said, someone please tell me you can jump in RFO or not.
