In most Online games...Keyboard controls are using either the arrow keys OR WSAD... I would like to see a way to be able to utilize WSAD instead of the arrow keys...
For me and perhaps others, our keyboard lay out ha the arrows on the rt and when walking etc then going to chat to type, can become quite cumbersone...

I look forward to hopefully seeing this implemented in the next patch/upgrade...

thank you

It's already possible to move around with WASD. :) E for jump, C for crouch.

Yep - just remember to close the chat bar, and WASD is there. (You can see this if you begin a conversation with the chat bar closed - the first 'e' you type will have your avatar jumping as if stung!)

If your chat bar is off, hit Enter before typing and it will automatically open. I believe there is a setting in Preferences to make it close automagically after each sentence, but I have not used this and so don't know where exactly it is.
