Is there anyways to make it to where you can move around using the arrowkeys instead of having to use wasd, because I simply can not play a game where im forced to use wasd.

I actually really like the graphics and the content of the game but the controls are driving me insane...

    That's a silly thing to not try to get used to...

    Not so silly if you happen to be a lefty, mouse and keys etc make it a crippling effect. All of the more popular games have a feature that allows changing keybindings.

    I disagree, that is also the reason i just came to this thread after signing in, i use the right side of my keyboard, and thus far, in 20 years of gaming, i have never been unable to use the arrows, or re-assign the keys. At least I was able to find out quickly before I wasted any time.

    There are many people who play the game with just the mouse, as it was designed to be a click-fest, especially since it is from Asia. (most MMOs from Asia are designed to be played with just the mouse, and most MMORPGs in general.)

    You can click on your destination in the world, and you will go there.

    You can hold down the right mouse button and move the mouse to move the camera around.

    I understand your pain, as I am part time left handed and wind up "re-mapping" my right hand to my left hand, or vice versa, to get by in this right handed world.

    One way that I get around most games is to have a dual analog gamepad in my left hand (for movement, remap keys), and a mouse in my right.

    Hope you'll give us another try, the community rocks, and everyone plays nice MOST of the time b:pleased

    Please see my post here: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=848951&postcount=15

    Since you want to play with the mouse in your left hand, then you can take a gamepad that you can re-map (with dual analog sticks like a Playstation Dualshock controller) the right analog stick to WASD, and re-map the right-side buttons to frequent keys that you use in the game.
