You can't walk with WASD, RuneScape is a click to walk game.

Left and right clicks cannot be changed for 2 reasons, one, they both have particular functions that wouldn't work otherwise and two (for the left click in particular) it's so you can't hold down a key to spam click (any macro used to do this WILL result in the banning of your account).

RS is not your typical MMO.

EDIT* Spelling.

Okay but I hate it. All the art programs I use I turn my screen with the right mouse. My middle mouse is not sensitive and I have to push down hard to turn my camera which is painful. I am not getting a new mouse it was expensive.

As far as wasd what was the point in making a 3dfancy version of the game without at least putting in the option for us pc users to walk normally. I remember Mabinogi when it first came out was point and click. They got with the times and put in wasd.

You made a new game for a new crowd of players yet didn't give them the one thing they wanted most. WASD. Afraid to offend the older players I guess.

Well there's New World on the way so I guess I'll fart around here briefly until it comes out.

You'd think devs for once would realize the game is for the players not themselves.

Learn to adapt or find another game to play. This isn't going to change for this game. What can I say?

As for the devs, the game has always been this way and is not likely to change now. They didn't do this to irk anyone. It was just the way the Gower brothers created the game back in the day. Also, the devs don't call the shots. An investment firm owns the game now and they're after profits. Completely revamping and redoing the entire game would cost them a ton of money and that's just not the way it works. They're looking for shortcuts whenever possible and microtransactions at every turn.

If you want a WASD game, you'll have to look elsewhere. But honestly, it's a small price to play -- learning to adapt to how its done -- rather than just throwing up one's hands and giving up. The game is worth it. It's not for everyone but millions do enjoy playing it and have done so for over 20 years now. They aren't aching for customers.

saying walk " normally " is funny as the games 20+ years old it kinda comes before normal.

Wondering if you've looked at Mabinogi recently. The way the two games work isn't really comparable.

You're right, it is.

That's why RuneScape is still alive twenty years later, and remains one of the most prominent MMOs.

id quit if they made it "only" wasd

tbh they did once talk about adding wasd but said they would need to re make the whole game and the whole way the game functions which would change all of combat ect

its just not viable.

joy2key lets you remap keys, i did this ages ago to remap keys to a controller, although you can't create WASD movement you can create something similar or change controls to fit your own needs

the game has always been point and click, like the tick system it's far too integrated into the game engine and world.

This will get you banned. Don't do it.

This is the only statement I could find on the subject (granted I was not looking very hard).

I think this is a better example of the most basic use of controller.
