As title says...
Ryzom is an MMO that does not have jumping. And it seems to deter a lot of people, with the lack of just that one feature...even though the MMO is better than most.
So, would you play an MMO (not just Ryzom, but any other) that did not have jumping included (outside of an emote, if it has one)?
Personally, I like the lack of jumping. After Darkfall and WoW...I got really tired of people bunny hopping everywhere in heavy armor and looking like idiots. Darkfall was REALLY bad for this, even more so than WoW. EVE has "jumping", but well...it isn't jumping :P

Sounds like you play too many themeparks The story of my gaming life
I don't mind not having jumping, but I would prefer to have it.
GW1 doesn't have jumping and I was fine with it.
Eve doesnt have 'jumping'.
TSW - AoC - Aion - WOW - EVE - Fallen Earth - Co - Rift - || XNA C# Java Development
Clever mention of Eve having jumping.
I would try one without jumping but no guarantees that I would stay. No jumping is like walling off a lot of exploration opportunities. Without an open and free to roam everywhere world, I wouldn't be very content.
Well, I played FFXI for about five years and I didn't jump a single time, so I guess I would. Having said that, I've played a lot of MMO's since then and prefer to have jumping in my MMO's. The usual argument against it is that it's completely immersion breaking to have a bunch of people bunny hopping, but I find it equally dumb if people are permanently glued to the ground. When this came up in FFXI I always imagine my character saying, "I can shoot fireballs out of my hands and call down glaciers on my enemies, but damn those foot high fences just completely ruin my day!"
The inability to jump is equally as dumb as bunny hopping from an immersion standpoint.
I prefer if jumping has a use at some point in gameplay. For instance, jumping to the platform on the Thaddius fight in WoW or jump-turning while kiting.
Jumping wasn't what pushed me out of Ryzom. Travel did. It was running a gauntlet to get anywhere. Aggro chains were unprecidented. Whole Islands of Mobs would jump you if you tried to pull aggro. You couldn't level.
It realy depends if jumping actualy had a use. Jump up a hill, over a large tree or something. But normaly jumping doesnt do anything. Even when you are running and jumping, you would think you would move faster by leaping at full speed. But you dont.
Realy no point if the game isnt designed for jumping.
i have played several games and mmos that have no jumping and i dont think i would play them again. Right now the only games i would accept without jumping are 2D RPGs like legend of mana, etc.
I will most likely never again accept any 3D game that has exploration but lacks jumping. Yes, it breaks my immersion when i want to explore everything and i cant jump off cliffs, over obstacles, gaps. That (no jumping) and zoom issues killed my experience from Kingdoms of Amalur.
i would rather have the total opposite, no mouse at all, but thats just me. I really dont like to control my game with a mouse other than some clicks here and there to select something or rotate camera

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.
I personally like to have the option of jumping in my MMO's. I played GW1 for a while and though it was immense fun, I felt restricted and really did not like that I could not jump. I don't know why exactly, it seems silly to not allow it. Jumping gives your character a feeling of more freedom I guess. Something about running in an MMO, jumping just makes it more fun!
Aside from GW1, jumping has been a feature in every other MMO I play- so maybe it has just become habit now. Regardless of this I want jumping in my games! teehee.
if my character cannot jump, then i wonder why allthetime. im not a bunny jumper who permajumps when moving to a to b.
but if mmo comes out without jumping option i feel like its limited and there for one aspect of freedom is taken away.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

Yes I would, but it would be a major anoyance for me. I like to leap over things like rocks, fences, ridges, things that can be bypaseed to make my travels easier.

Other people jumping around in games doesn't really bother me.
