I know what I am talking about.
A character that flows up a 25 step stairs in two steps is "floating"' movement and is NOT polished at all.
It is called uneasy control btw.
I just compared it with some stairs in SW: the avatar there takes exaclty the same number of steps as there are stairs in Stormwind Keep.
His steps even come out exactly.
Ok just re wathced it. First it s 17 stairs , Second he s running, Third it s 4 steps so actually you re way off. And finally i asked you if you re in beta simply because i am and can assure you , you don t know what you re talking about just from some videos.
there are 25 steps and he is on top in just 2.5 passes.
I am not lying everyone can control it.
I look at the video footage for 1 year now and the only thing being added are the lightning effects since about 4 months.
Errr what more would you want them to add? Bright colours? Blocky character models? Out of proportion humans? Oh wait wait wait wait... Thats WoW sorry!
Thats because WoW characters all walk like they have a stick rammed up their arse.

OK ...Those who don't believe the bad animations and walking speeds.
All watch that video.
Wind up to 1 minute 10 seconds (until the wiz starts running up the stairs.)
It is about a 25 step stair and he does this in just a 2 step run "floating over it".
Clear isn't it ?
So you would rather him take ten secs to walk on each and every step just because it would look more relaistic? Sorry but i wouldnt be playing WAR so i could get the best and most accurate Stair walking simulator on the market, no i'd like to think i could walk up and down stairs FAST rather than going into an stair walking animation loop as you seem to want so much.
Wow does excaly the same thing, you know why? because it doesnt break the flow of traveling.
One thing you must remember is that FFXI is a unique MMO in the sense that its on 3 different platforms, PC, PS2 and Xbox360. Must be a task and ahalf to run things on their end sometimes, but to answer your question. My time in FFXI (around 2.5/3years) i did notice alot of downtime compaired to other MMOs, Hurts more for the EU/USA players to because FFXI is running off JP peak times.
