I think the standard running speed is too fast. It should be toned down a fair bit to match approximately Skyrim's.

The world would feel larger and more realistic plus it would enhance a more tactical approach to combat if you don't just run through everybody.

I take my experience from Mount&Blade where there is a very low running speed. You build up your speed the longer you keep running without a break which still won't be closely as fast as ESO's. Since you cannot get away that easily you always want to have some comrades near you to be a force to be taken seriously.

I would have toned down the standard running speed in ESO by 20%. Having a mount will still increase your speed.

I agree, absolutely is too fast. and Yes I also agree that as you gain momentum you could start to go faster.

my problem with 1 aspect of this is in other mmo's when I was trying to connect with a player and cannot target them to speak with them because they are racing by so fast that I wasn't able to click on them and get their name to send them a whisper or chat message.

another reason was because maybe some one had some epic armor I never saw before and they ran by at top speed and went into a building or instance. I would race after them at top speed to catch them hoping to get a glimpse of their epic armor or weapon and never got the chance because they were Gone in a Flash

I think it's just fine.

I think this is something we couldn't know unless we had information from the beta, hence I expect this thread to be locked soon enough

I myself was talking about what ive seen in the videos and also in the 20 minute gameplay video. in addition to also what ive experienced in other mmo's.

I have never been in the beta, and I re-read what the op stated and what was said, I don't see anything that http://www.gamesas.com/user/888816-siegbert/ could have said that's not from the videos we have seen that are directly from zenimax studios and their utube videos. so where are you getting this idea that some one has spoken about things that came from playing the beta?
