Is there any chance that the ability to change the keyboard layout will be added.

Hey maybe you can.. i cant see how... but there again i am partially sighted and have moved to P101 because i cant see the cursors on other games .... or read stuff in the game or any others. luckily P101 says the quests and has a big yellow arrow that helps.

Anyway eyesight apart i have had a type of arthritis since i was 15 and don't do well with wasd. Since CoH I have changed each game to wqes instead which lets me turn on q and e on pretty much any game... and i'd swap x with TAB probably .. gives me consitency with prev mmo's .. which i cant play atmo mind thats not all bad .. i find i like P101 a whole lot better than i though from the nieces and nephews description... and they loved teaching me for a change.

Anyway i have taken an annual subs so i'll be playing anyway.. but it'd be real usefull.

( typed on a hivis keyb and 2 really big screens but pls pardon spellinks i have missed) <- thats me atmo

I don't know if it's useful to you but you can also move using the arrow keys or by holding down both the left and right mouse buttons.

There is a file in the pirate101/bin folder called Config.xml which contains all the keybindings. However, if the system is like Wizard whenever a new patch comes along anything you changed will go back to their defaults. Also, it isn't an easy file to work your way through (I'm a programmer and it looks awkward to work with for me). So I don't recommend you mess around with it.

But, since that is the only way I can see, I agree that there should be an in game way to change the key bindings. Since it is in an external file and not hard coded into the game I don't see any reason for it to not be available.

I think thi would be a cool option to have built into the game as a disabled software engineer being able to move some keys for better accessibility I can only use on hand to play now and it would be helpful for me to be able to move the "x to th right sisi of the keyboard.
