Perhaps it was their computer? I know for a fact that the
speed/connection of you computer is important in determining your running
speed. One night I went hunting a friend who was attempting to run the
game on a Pentium 150 with 32mb RAM and suffice to say she was insanely
slow. Heck my mage was moving faster than her walking then she (a
paladin) was running. So perhaps your connection was better or perhaps
like we all know SOW just rocks. Speaking of which being a bard has
spoiled way too much I think. Tried some new characters and I find that I
am driven insane by the fact that they move so slowly =).
