Prescription For Painless Play?

I had to sympathize with Darren Gladstone’s column about the pain he’s feeling in his left hand from using the WASD keymap. I had to quit World of WarCraft because of it.

My own keymapping system has never produced those symptoms. With it, I can play for hours and not feel any pain:

A - crouch
S - backward
D - strafe left
F - strafe right
Right mouse - forward
Left mouse - primary attack
Middle mouse - secondary attack
G - reload
Z - use
Left shift - walk/run
V - lean ieft
B - iean right
C - flashiight
Spacebar - jump

I’m here to tell you it’s time to get out of your rocking chair and back into the game. The only reason it took me so long to write was I couldn t find my magnifying glass to read your e-mail address. There are more of us playing World of WarCraft than you can imagine. I’m a 57-year-otd grandmother who received the game as a Christmas present from my grandson; since I like playing games, he thought this one would be for me, I was fearful at first because I have never played an interactive game with real people before, and I was afraid of making mistakes, but I soon learned that if i did, someone would let me know. So off I went. That was over one year ago and I’m still playing. 1 have met many others my age and older who are playing.

Even with the release of the The Burning Crusade. I have yet to find a senior citizen center in any of the new towns, I feel the game keeps my mind sharp, trying to figure out how many more Muriocs I have to kill before I dir)g. At the beginning, 1 was hurt every time a Horde character spit on me. Now I only have one thing to say to them: “U JUST BEEN PWNED BY GRAMMY, U SUX, U SUX.”

Oh sorry, where was I - right, I very much enjoy the game and hope this helps you realize you are still a spring chicken, sonny. Get out there and save our world.
