Siela's comments about jumping are completely the opposite to my own. Ryzom was not my first, nor my second MMO but I have stayed with it for considerably longer than any other MMO I have tried.
The one thing which I found nauseating, within the first hour of my WoW experience, was the persistent bunny-hopping everywhere, without reason. Clearly everyone found it either enjoyable or funny to do this. It was one of the things, along with the boring, repetitive nature of training at every level, which made me decide, at level 60, that I had seen enough and I left, never to return.
It was so refreshing to come into the world of this crazy rootball and find that no-one was jumping around. I was even happier when I discovered that one could not jump.
I have wondered many times since, whether anyone else felt the same way about jumping as I did, or whether everyone else would, in fact, simply uninstall if they discovered one could not jump.
