Movement rate very slow

[Frag]

Hi,  I recently joined.  I have a question.

When I move in the game, it's extremely slow.  (1 second)  Even when I'm light I move like I'm "heavy" in MajorMUD.  Is this intentional?  I don't mean to be whinny about it, but damn that's annoying and it takes forever to get anywhere.   ;D

Unlike Majormud every % of encumbrance here will slow you down some.  So it is possible to be light and move like you are medium, or be medium and move like you are heavy.  If you are light moving like you are heavy though I'd say check your ping and see if something else is going on.  That should not be  happening.

Actually, I was medium, not light.

I hope you guys decide to change that back to the way it was on MajorMUD.  GreaterMUD looks like it has a lot of possibilities.  That said, as someone who also actively plays MajorMUD, this makes the annoyance of moving really slow *really* stand out in comparison.

I suppose if you are nothing but a script it doesn't matter.  You're never at the keys long enough to become annoyed by it.  I actually like to *play* the game.  Just going to the bank becomes a pain in the ... well you know.  ;)

I will check back later.  Hopefully something will sway you guys back to the MajorMUD movement configuration.  :)

Cheers.

Have you considered the flip side to this?  Being low medium enc means you move like you are light.  Being low light enc means you move like you are none, etc.  It affects combat as well as walking.  Check out how a number of the plate classes gear up here then play with it for a bit longer and see if you don't like it once you see the benefits.

It also adds a new dimension to the game, as movement speed affects xp rate, etc so the better you can manage enc. the better the rate, unlike MajorMUD where it wasnt as important, most tanks would just roll full enc.

I get around that by having a full tank lead by a VERY light bard.
