As forner WoW player i really miss to be able to jump!! GW is really great, but i really miss to be able to jump. And one more thing: Make so you can go up on hills and so on.

the game engine does not support the 3rd dimention as it would cause unbearable lag

ok

More of a game suggestion, but I'm doing fine without jumping. Well, there's always /jump, but.

Atleast there isn't any jump puzzles in the game since there's no jumping

It would throw the linear progression of the missions completely out the window. Some missions you could skip vast portions, and bypass the difficulty in completing them.

Plus the last thing we need is people jumping around like crazy in the arenas. Have you ever played an FPS with jumping, its like a bunch of kangaroos with machine guns.

Um, just how does jumping cause lag(more than all of the spell's special lighting effects, transition loads, ect)?

Not if jumping had been in from the start. I for one wish it HAD been in from the start! Imagine youre in Pre, being chased by bears, "Oh no! A fence with a bear at both ends!Oh, if only I could SOMEHOW get over this middle part, I might stay alive! But alas, the gods have all but glued my feet to the ground, virtually ensuring my death in a situation like this!"

In a FPS, ok, but in this game, most attacks automatically hit, unless dodged(by moving sideways usually, for arrows), evaded, but not jumping! Alot of spells are auto targeted to the chest, and afaik, theres no dodging a spell, avoiding through resistance, counterspell, sure, but "bunny-hopping" wont make a spell miss.
