More on the re-binding of keys.
I just had an extensive chat session with a player who uses a QWERTY keyboard. I use an AZERTY one.
Basically, I can't type without hitting keys that are linked to various in-game actions, such as Hiking, turning those actions on. The end result is that after a while and some time spent walking around, my character fainted, as I hadn't noticed the switch to Hiking -- the same happened with some combat positions, and other sorts of movements.
Another issue, although not as important, is that when I type in the chat client my characters makes sudden jerky moves forwards, or backwards, or to the sides ... as I press the A or S or Q letters, etc.
So yes, it'd be great to let us rebind the keys, but it'd be even better to make the game AZERTY compatible (if that's the problem). Not being a coder, I have no idea how easy it would be to achieve that. Moreover, it's not an urgent matter. Still, consider giving it a shot.
Thanks from all of us, non-QWERTY peeps.
