Game Controller

I was wondering if you can use a pc game controller on this game.

Any thoughts.

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to this. Off-hand, I would say no, because mot MMOs aren't set up for that sort of thing. I've never even tried setting up the game to work with a gamepad. Guess it's time to break out my PS2 controller/USB adapter and check it out. It would be very helpful if the other players could help out on this one.

I would say that the answer is "yes you CAN use a controller, but you won't like it".

Any 100% DirectX compatible controller that can have it's buttons mapped to keys can be used (MxO doesn't acually support controllers so there aren't any in-game settings for them)

HOWEVER

Most controlers only have 8-12 buttons and MxO requires 2-3 mouse buttons and most of the keyboard. I'd have to compare it to using a controller to run Word... you COULD do it, but it wouldn't easy or fun.

Save yourself the heartache and don't try.

P.S. for a testing point of view, I actually got character movement to work with my Microsoft force feedback steering wheel, but I ran out of buttons to map. It can be done but so can many other stupid things SMILEY
