Some problems...
  • The unit m^2 is not a measurement of distance, it's a measurement of area.
  • Traveling for 2000 m in a straight line takes longer than 36 seconds ingame even at sprint speed.
  • Rounding shouldn't be done so often -_- (1/18)*60*60 = 200 (not 198).
Here's my go at it, but it's not going to be very exact because I'm traveling a shorter distance.

I am moving at movement speed 3. It takes me 8 seconds to travel 37 meters.

That's (37 / 8) m/s or about 4.6 m/s.

That's (37 / 8)/1000 km/s...
which is 60*60*(37 / 8)/1000 km/hr or about 17 km/hr.

Awesome idea.... so that puts it more around 50 km/hr. Whoa o_o
