MUDs... I've logged well over 5000 hours on MUDs in the 7 or so years I've been MUDding, since I was 12... sometimes I'd be on for over 24 hours a session.
Oh yeah... once I stayed up for FIVE DAYS STRAIGHT playing Heroes of Might and Magic III - mainly just to see if I could. That was an... experience...
If WoW actually allows jumping, then it's by default better than FFXI.
I don't know why, but if I'm playing a game and can't jump - even if there really isn't any reason to ever jump (EverQuest - at least in my experience) - then I become very upset.
Sometimes I just run around and jump for the hell of it. Perhaps it's because I have disproportionately short legs and am living out some fantasy.
Jumping = Good

Beat that.
You -do- realize that that was meant as a joke, right? Right?

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation - aka state government - builds the roads here, and let me tell you, they do a GREAT $*@!ing job.
We depend on the gov. - whether Federal, state or local - a lot in good old PA, and we're getting screwed at every turn.
And look! Once they start to do something that could actually benefit people, good old Rendell's gotta shoot it down.
