Mobs move the same speed as live, however their hitboxes in straight directions are slightly larger (unsure of reason). Try strafing the next time you are running from something without SoW. You will avoid much more than trying to simply outrun.

Hmm, This has not been my experience. I used to be able to outrun agro'd mobs like beetles in North Karana and Qeynos etc without strafing etc. Here they will always keep up (as an example). It was also stated by a developer that the mobs run slightly faster than players do here.. The only way to get away from them is to strafe run.
I used to kite beetles in North Karana with my wizard in the early days on live without SOW. It took longer but I could eventually outrun them and nuke. SOW made it much more efficient time-wise. Here, it's impossible. There are other examples but this is sufficient.
Having said all of this, I am quite pleased and impressed with how close the environment is to how live was. The minor differences are easy to ignore and I relive the great days of the past every time I log on to the server. I am always blown away and impressed with what they have done here and I donate monthly (as if I were paying a subscription on live).
