We all know that the lounge is not the most popular addition of royals. It serves no purpose other than being a safe spot for when you don't want to leave a chara in a map, and events. I rarely see it getting used as a center for meeting people and chatting, FM serves that purpose better because it also holds all the normal functionalities that you are used to have. But I understand that lounge disabled those functions in order to not make lounge into a quick trade map or mule buff map, that's all nice and good... BUT WHY DO WE NEED TO WALK IN THIS MAP WITH 100% SPEED? Lounge is not a small map, it has both the main area, with multiple platforms, and the hidden garden. walking from the enterance of lounge to the end of the hidden garden might take you almost 2 minutes lol. I believe that the lack of speed makes people feel restricted when they walk in the lounge, it doesn't feel great to suddenly drop from max speed to 100%. I don't see the issue of reinstating the max speed and jump either, its not abuseable like the ability to cast spells or trade. So, my suggestion is pretty simple, just remove the 100% speed and jump lockdown and let people walk more freely in lounge. And if its possible, it would be cool if mount would be castable in lounge as well :3
So, I've recently noticed that whenever i enter lounge, my speed and jump gets set to 140 speed, and 120 jump. But it still looks as if we are still locked to 100/100. Any GM knows if this is intentional? Are we getting teased for max speed lounge?
Yeah, it's something we have been looking into, should have it working for the next patch. For fun we also looked into what 255 speed (max speed) would look like :
