You've been lurking all this time? Woah.

In defence of my walkspeed, ranged weapons are plentiful and effective, there's a ranged weapon for every type of player. The javelins for the tribe people, crossbow for soloists on ore filled islands, and yewbeams for nomads. Their running ability really doesn't help like it used to, back when they could bunny hop and most ranged weapons were broken. It used to be good, but by this point we're just protecting something that's already long gone. Damage and health are both dismal in comparison to just getting a new sword, they're just there for the people who live on artificial islands and have no way of getting any half decent weapon.

Anyway, before you run away and dissapear, what about side effects? If we balance speed with a loss of strength, and the health potion with a loss of speed, and so forth (although likely a tad more thought out), would that be a valid way of fixing the issues you brought up?
