His comment was specific to low levels, afaik. At those levels, movement draining isn't nearly as common. What *is* common is getting a kill because the target doesn't have the means to magically transport himself and runs out of movement trying to run from you. That's something I think we should retain. To that end, I propose:

1. Leave the *number* of movement points as is.
2. Increase regen rates drastically, but on a sliding scale such that the increase ceases to be noticeable around the 20th rank.
3. Make the new lowbie-movement-regen-bonus contingent on calm adrenaline. If a character would be prevented from entering his guild, he gets no regen bonus.

This has the following effects:

1. A low-ranking character traveling from one side of Thera to the other still hits 0% movement around the same time he would under the current system. It just takes fewer hours of rest for him to get back to 100%.

2. "Chasing someone until they run out of movement" is still a valid PK tactic for lowbie PK fights.

3. Lowbies ranking in movement-costly areas (e.g. Ysigrath) still run out of moves as with the current system, since the constant mob killing keeps their adrenaline high. So areas that are unworkable (due to movement costs) are still largely unworkable.

Possible alternative to the above:

1. Alter the prog that controls how town healers dispense their free communes to sub-11 characters. Keep bless/cure at the same frequency, but jack up the rate of refresh communes.
