We'll be making it possible to increase your movement speed in town by advancing in new guild-related activities found in Seekers of Adoulin.
For towns outside of those found in Seekers of Adoulin we're thinking about making it possible to increase movement speed while in town via the fulfillment of certain requirements. As we don't want to simply increase town movement speed, we'd like to offer this benefit as a reward for achieving something. Likewise, since movement speed outside of town would have effects on battle, it would be difficult for us to do anything above and beyond the current system. With that said, we will be making adjustments to a large amount of teleportation devices to warp to a variety of areas in order to make game play even more comfortable.
