Of course you can.

/Jump silly.

You can jump using the /jump command, but it's not useful for actually jumping over anything.

If not being able to jump is your deciding factor for whether or not to get this game, then you should just forget it. It doesn't even come into play in this game. I haven't came across any scenarios where I was like, "GOD, IF ONLY I COULD JUMP, THIS GAME WOULDN'T SUCK SO MUCH."

But, maybe that's just me. I think walking works pretty well. :P
Seriously man, this is a great game, but sorry - no jumping allowed.

there's plenty of places like that in Guild Wars. like when you need to jump down a hill to progress in an explorable area filled with millions of Centaurs and with tons of foliage that all looks identical. but you can't jump, so instead you get stuck bumping into an 'invisible wall' for all eternity.

or until you decide to go try to wander around in circles until you stumble upon the one "correct" path between the "rails" (which are set with invisible walls that can not be jumped over) that let you progress.

Well if you can't figure out the right way to go, and need jumping to fix that for you, then I suppose it could be a problem. Sure, it would be nice, but they didn't intend for you be able to take shortcuts, or jump off of cliffs just because you went the wrong way. Either go back to WoW, or enjoy the game for what it is.
