Lol Dald you were Myth Lords? I was with them for a lil bit myself before I ended up in Machin Shin and eventually Dark Horizon. Your name isn't very familiar from back then though. I think by the time DoDH was out I was in DH.
I was in Machin Shin for awhile. Was an officer and raid leader over there from around SoD -> VoA.

And regarding the "nothing faster than SoW" stuff that's been brought up.

You guys should check out Live after the latest patch.

- Added a velocity label to the stats page of the inventory window which will display your current movement speed.
- Changed the display of the 'Attack' statistic to show its component parts: 'Offense' and 'Accuracy':
- - The Offense stat increases your likelihood to deal more damage when you land a melee attack and is countered by your opponent's Mitigation stat.
- - The Accuracy stat increases your likelihood to land a hit on your opponent in melee combat and is countered by your opponent's Evasion stat.
- Changed the display of the 'Armor Class' statistic to show its component parts: 'Mitigation' and 'Evasion':
- - The Mitigation stat increases the likelihood for you to take less damage when you are hit by a melee attack and is countered by your opponent's Offense stat.
- - The Evasion stat increases the likelihood for you to avoid being hit by a melee attack and is countered by your opponent's Accuracy stat.
- - Spell descriptions that report the amount of Armor Class granted by buffs should now report a more accurate value.
I was messing around with the Velocity value for a bit the other day. When standing still it has a 0 value (the value is in units moved per second). When running forward with SoE (70% Movement) the value is 48. When straffing the value is 50. When backpeddling or sidestrafing the value is 30. I've yet to test out swimming and ducked movement...

The game actually does register numerically that someone running forward while strafing does increase your speed faster than SoW. Go forth nerds; Lawyerquest that strafing can be quantitatively proven to increase your speed faster than SoW!
