This isn't really a bug as much as a difference from MajorMUD, but it is frustrating as all hell.

On GMUD, when one's encumbrance is Medium, it's slows down movement from room to room dramatically. It's about equal to that of being Heavy in MajorMUD. When one is Heavy, it's even worse.

Most plate wearers walk around Medium and this makes it painstakingly slow to get anywhere. You're also a sitting duck trying to run from PVP, whereas in MajorMUD, you move at about the same pace.

To be honest, I'm pretty sure MajorMUD doesn't penalize your movement until you are Heavy, no positive though.

Is it possible these times could be compared to MajorMUD and adjusted accordingly?

In gmud, movement is slowed by each and every percentage point of encumbrance, not in big blocks as in mmud.  So if you are running 34% medium, you will be faster than medium in mmud, but if you are running 66% medium, you will be slower than medium in mmud.

Hmm interesting, I'll have to play around with that later. Not sure if I like that idea or not. It's nice if you're a leather wearer carrying one item too many that makes you medium, it stinks if you're a plate wearer sacrificing one item to stay medium but are still slowed down.

Thanks for the info.

I think this is great. Plate wearers dominate the game as it is. There needs to be more disadvantages like this to wearing plate.

Also if the party leader is none and a member int he party is heavy this also slows down movement. but I do not beleive it does in MMUD
