okay so,





im a big fan of the "wasd" movement options, but the biggest problem for me is this: when I decide to be a good mmo player, and chat with those around me, i cannot keep moving unless I decide to use the mouse instead. Which is all well and good because I am a fast typist, so i can be back in motion in a few seconds... except then i end up typing "WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" instead of moving foreward like I intended.*





I've never seen an mmo do chat like this, and maybe people like it better this way, but I am really a huge fan of the "hit enter to start talking, hit enter to send, and chat closes automatically." thought process. That way is a bit more intuitive, and follows the format of most other mmo's. Not that it isnt good to be different, but perhaps if chat closed itself after each message, I wouldnt keep dying when I try to use abilities and saying "3453334333333" instead of attacking.*





Another idea would be to have the actual arrow keys made into a movement option. Then you could go into the options menu and choose weather you want "wasd" or "up down left right." *





thats my two cents. not a huge deal, but worth considering at least.*

I certainly agree with you. The chat box shoul auto-close when you hit enter.
