Overall I haven't played that many MMOs. Some like WoW had swimming/diving and sitting in some chairs/benches (and later flying mounts). Others like DDO have swimming as skill which determined how long you could hold your breath under water and how you could swim against the current (IIRC). The latter allowed you to jump on a wall and grapple the top of the wall to pull yourself up (minimalistic climbing).

In contrast to this some of the more recent MMOs spent way too much money on voice acting and visuals and focused too much on the questing/dungeon/pvp/mini-games aspects that you couldn't do much exploration nor other non-combat activities.

I backed this game during the Kickstarter campaign. But since it's still some way beyond the horizon there was no need to register to this forums earlier (and it's still maybe too early ;-) ).

I get regularly updates regarding the development progress/announcements. But curiosity gets me now and then.

What I'm interested in is if there will be some form of climbing (e.g. climbing ladders, climbing walls) or swimming in the game. On the forum was a thread about swimming and flying but it was from February (see http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2pi2n?Add-dimension-Swimming-and-Flying#1) and I didn't feel like necroing that thread.

Another thing is what about sitting in chairs and on benches? I know such features don't contribute much to the gameplay (i.e. combat and crafting). But still it would be interesting what the devs and other forum participants think about it.
