Your movement is now:  "slowly making his way through the dimly lit streets."

Why?

Because I like movement emotes, but I'm lazy. If I have to change direction, I stop using them, especially if I don't feel like copy and pasting.

I like this. Better than having automated by the MUD client.. if one person does it, it looks awkward. If everyone does it, it looks like a part of the world.

That said, it seems like a rather low priority thing.

Clans can give stat bonuses and penalties, too. The Byn drop in wisdom is particularly notorious.

I'd rathern not have this, so as to avoid fostering laziness in one's roleplay.

When using movement emotes I try to mix it up as much as possible.

If I'm traveling down a road, for instance, I won't hit "up" on my keyboard to repeat the same movement previously entered. Rather, I mix things up by emoting about different ways my character interacts with the world as they travel.
