== Travelling on the waterways ==
It is possible to swim reasonable distances across water but if the [[player]]'s [[stamina]] falls too low while in the water it will start to [[drown]] and eventually [[die]] if the player does not make it back to land (or a [[boat]]). This makes crossing large bodies of water, such as those which separate the [[server]]s very difficult without a boat. While unladen and un[[armour]]ed, a player can swim at about 8km/h.
A player is generally quite safe from [[animals]] while in the water, as most cannot swim; however, it should be noted, while in the water a player suffers a large [[combat rating]] (fighting) penalty, so it's not recommended fighting anything while swimming.
