So I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet but I feel like everyone has experienced this issue. Its the glitch where your character will continuously run. It can be extremely problematic in dungeons with other people and you accidently run into battle. Is this being fixed soon?

i know what you're referring to, though it's not a glitch: there's a hotkey that triggers it, though i haven't yet figured out what it is.

to stop it, just press the arrow key to move in any other direction.

It happens when you press shift and any of the arrow keys. Some people would use this to continually spin, keeping them from being disconnected for inactivity. Just be careful not to press shift while running and you should be fine!

yes, I have had the same thing for the last 3 days at least....some call it "lagging". Its the character movement that is "off"in my situation...I was not able to do daily assignment yesterday in Triton because of the right/left angle turns....I wonder if other characters see me running into walls and yes, getting into battles because my character went too far.....my poor wizard looked like a very drunk wizard!....the good news is that I am not alone on this,which means its probably not my computer!....KI is big and if they are having difficulties I'm sure they are working on them...an awful lot of people on this week, fri there were 4 full realms and 2 crowded...that's a lot!.......we have to have patience....at least I don't have to take my computer apart! now that's a costly task! We love you KI, even with crazy movin' wizards!

Also what may cause this is when you use the mouse to navigate instead of the keyboard. It's not really a glitch.

To cease it, just press the arrow keys as suggested and you should immediately stop in your tracks.
