That's what I thought too, but my barbarian friend, and gnomes for that
matter are so slow I have to walk with Accel when grouped in order to not
leave them behind. Also my ranger friend always outruns me because his
agility is 132 with buff. I can lead with him behind and he never drops
from accelerando range and his computer, graphics card, connection, etc are
all slower than mine.

And barbarians (or any large race) looks to you like you are moving slow,
but if you look from any other F9 positions they aren't (compared to
others). Go from a barbarian to a small race like a halfling, they look
like they are ALWAYS with accelerando because they are closer to the ground.
Just like in a car, if you look directly out the window at the ground it
goes by much faster than if you look farther out.
