Spell Casting and Ducking/Jumping

[Uthgaard]

Lets build jurassic park. BUT NO VELOCIRAPTORS! They're too OP. Find the paralells.

Back to the actual question posed, I recall there being some relation to the interruption of spells, and the ability to sit through long casting, and effectively perma-med. I recall a thread from the devs that discussed their disinterest in giving players a means to interrupt their casting, but the necessity of preventing the perma-med potential being greater than the "cost" of allowing players to interrupt their spells.

These are simply recollections, and may not be accurate. I state them with the hope that something here will jog someone's memory, and that not only will the discussion get back on track, but that more clues will arise fill in the gaps. I suspect the smoking gun will be found on an archived front-page discussion on a fansite that frequently summarized developer posts from the SOE boards. The tricky part is finding it, on an archive that will actually load.
