Movement speed ...... please help!

[KingDolemite]

Just started playing the game. The first thing I noticed: I can't figure out if there is a way to toggle back and forth between walking and running.

I created a Warrior as my 1st character; he's level 5 now, and so far I have not noticed if any items grant "+ (n)% Movement Speed" bonuses.

Somebody please tell me a secret on how to make my character move faster, if there is a "RUN" feature, I really want to know what it is! I'm already getting sick of the slow plodding walks between vendors in town.

Thanks!
