I'm starting out as a jumper, and I'm getting quite good at it. It doesn't make me one of those PvP obsessed jerks that like to glitch a lot, because if someone asks me to not jump, I won't jump. I use a broadsword when I jump, because it's far easier than cutlass, and who says that I'm not a real jumper if I use a broadsword?
Awesome guide, mate, but maybe you should post the jumping technique? I turn auto run on and use the mouse to fight and direct Misty the right way. Kind of hard to control, but I'm getting used to it.

Thanks for the opinion, Davy.
I understand where you're coming from. Most jumpers I've met are quite rude, and don't like me using weapons that will hit them. :P Isn't that what PvP's all about? Most jumpers, especially Abassa Tortugans, are like that. But some jumpers are alright. As I stated above, if the opponent prefers that I don't jump, I won't jump. They've just got to make it clear first. And if a level 20 starts fighting a level 50, I think their only hope is to jump.
My three favourite weapons in PvP are broadsword, gun and doll. Dagger coming close behind. I don't use doll too much, because usually someone has a problem with it. And that's okay with me.
I don't like all the nonsense about 'not being a real jumper if you use broadsword'. Broadsword is the toughest sword in the game, and I don't see why using it would make me a fake jumper. When I used to PvP randomly with jumpers, when I used a broadsword = "broadsword noob". When I used a doll = "doll noob". I think they can establish the rules better than using a four letter insult...
I originally saw jumping as a form of cheating, like Stealth said. But there are so many jumpers about these days that I feel that I need to jump in order to have a chance against them. I was defeated by a level 20-something jumper when I was level 46! AND he was basic. I started training myself as a jumper, on Darkhart, (:P) and now I can fight the old fashioned way, AND the jumping way. I think the jump button should be removed from PvP, or you'll only be able to walk in PvP, as somebody suggested once. It would encourage pirates to get down and dirty with the opponent, as real pirates do.
Lastly, I don't think PvP is that important, so I'll let the jumpers do what they want, and everyone is entitled to their opinions. I'm simply letting my opinion out here, like many of you have already done. Except mine is in speech form.
My message in short: Do what ye like! They're your weapons, and if the opponent has failed to establish the rules beforehand, that's their mistake. Can't blame someone for wanting to win.
