Most of the controls are discussed when you get your handy manual. Yep, sure need the mouse, I tried some of the old tricks from EQ1 and no go. Most of your interaction with items is through the mouse, right click, double click etc.

To scroll through targets just cycle the tab key, it should cycle through nearest targets available, the ole F-8 still works for nearest NPC though.

so you are sayin a mouse is absolutely necessary to play?

Well, you could use a trackball I suppose if that was your preference but yeah, you need some sort of mouse type input device.

the mouse is NOT necessary to play..

I personally know someone who completely remapped the EQ2 control scheme to work exactly like FFXI...

now, that said.. the mouse is a better movement device than the keyboard.. there have been many things I was able to do quite easily with the mouse that she had to figure out the 2 or 3 buttons to press simultaneously to do the same thing.

thanks for all the input, because from laying in my bed with just a keyboard in my lap and not having to reach fora mouse in FFXI, to having to sit on the floor and USE my mouse would suck, thanks, Im buyin this game today, cyalL!
