Ok, nope.. that is wrong. The issue does exist. I'm in a guild on the server with well over 100 people on in the afternoon and they all admit the issue exists and have even told me about the hit range thing that was posted and answered in another thread of the forum where the explanation for it was that they sped up the mobs run speed to compensate for the distance at which a mob could hit a person.
And yes, the first thing I was asked was.. is your toon over weight.. no.
Dual Core issue... no.
Internet speed.. no.
Graphics prob....no.
New to EQ... defiantly not.
Played a druid before... yes (along with alot of other toons the were LVL capped by the time I went to EQ2 and before I was a guide)
Also little back ground info.... I was the head internet tech / IT for a cable company for 5 years before I decided to become a jailer.
Also EQ runs flawless. I have no issues technical wise. And no... even with sow (unless I use snare) regular mobs like beetles.. wolves.. orcs.. lions.. etc.. can run just as fast and I can't out run them..
Is that using the run sideways and jumping thing.. ummm .. no.. shouldn't have to with sow on. You should be able to out run everything until Kunark if you have sow.
There were some mobs in Kunark that could actually run as fast or even out run sow in some of the zones.. but there weren't a lot.
And no I'm not offended by cursing.. I work with inmates all day that curse worse then a sailer at times.. I only get offended when it is the first thing a person starts with instead of actually sounding intelligent and discussing a matter or if it directed toward someone. I don't even let inmates curse "at" me.. of course I have been doing that now for the last 6 years.

Unless you have a dual core problem or the mob itself has SoW, or is just a mob that happens to be faster (like the named centaur in SK), SoW will always be enough to get away from the mob. They might hit you once or twice while you're trying to get away because of the absurdly long hitboxes, but if you're running in an efficient path you will almost always run faster. UR DOIN IT WRONG.
Also, even without SoW you can strafe-run to get away from 95% of mobs.
Lastly, no one is less mature or intelligent for using the word "fuck" or any other explitive, if that were the case I doubt there would be nobel-prize winning writers who used those words frequently.
