The Z axis is somehwt odd in Ryzom as you can be in a cave and have a teamate 60m over ya head ..... but yet if a Vorax throws a fear spell at it, it's likely to hit you too. However, I would not want to see "jumping" added to the game. If I have to give up jumping over small objects in exchange for not having a bunch of toons pogosticking in front of me, I'll take it. Pogosticking is the reason I never played most MMO's past the 1st visit.
