Mob run speed?

If hitbox change is intentional it seems classic to me. Being able to outrun some mobs without SoW always seemed a bit off to me on this server. Although I probably didn't know about strafe running back then either.

If this sticks seems like the days of Bards keeping the roads clear is over.

I don't disagree in a way, being that Bard kiting was OP but why change it now? You knew it existed in 99/00 and yet you let it exist on P99 for 6 years? I'm just not on the same page with why now and why no communication? Are we so afraid of the groaning and moaning we'd rather stealth it in? Are we also so concerned about bard kiting that we'd rather screw over non speed boosted classes? Just seems like someone used a jackhammer to secure a single picture nail. There were better ways to address this issue.

I would place my money on it being a bug because of the recent resets tbh.

Plenty of stuff has been changed years later after the fact. For example the target box mob con color was removed sometime last year. Even though it comes back late in Velious (I think?) they removed it. Why? Because shit is classic.

IF this is an intentional change (which I doubt it is) I just don't see why Bards should complain. You guys had it good for a long time and it was kinda ridiculous being able to kill 100+ mobs by yourself. For everyone else that this affects, (that is not being able to easily run from mobs) just another case of the minority shitting it up for the majority. Not only is that classic but that's just life.
