The ever-helpful Aggro Me points the way to one of the craziest MMO-related videos we've seen here at GSW in quite some time - an EverQuest II parkour video, in which various in-game characters do 'crazy jumps' across the fantastical architecture of Norrath.

For those not in the know, parkour's Wikipedia article explains that the 'sport' "...(also called freerunning, abreviated to PK) is a physical discipline of French origin in which participants attempt to pass obstacles in the fastest and most direct manner possible, using skills such as jumping and climbing."

Oddly enough, there's been a couple of other parkour references in video games recently - Marc Ecko's Getting Up from Atari twinned elements of parkour and graffiti in a 'tough urban package', and a GDC lecture from the Assassin's Creed team mentioned that the Ubisoft title "strives for real world rules and drew influence from many sources including parkour". [EDIT: Oop, and Jare points out Eidos' Free Running for PSP, which we hadn't spotted, and is out this month in Europe!] But heck, this is fantasy parkour with gnomes (elves? goblins? Hell if I know!), and as such, to be adored.
