Movement controls.
Chorp:
I was just wondering about the keys used to move the character.
Are you guys going to be using the arrow keys or the AWSD keys?
In my opinion the AWSD keys are far easier in that, to my knowledge, the majority of people are right handed, meaning they will be using their mouse with their right hand.
Many left handed people have been trained to use their right hand for mouse control as (from my experience) most school, library and workspace computers feature a computer mouse with button specifications for right-handed users.

Why not both? Or just give users access to a key mapper that let's you set up the keys a you wish. Most MMO's do that anyway.
Chorp:
That would be ideal, haha.
Shadowfred:
For the record I am left handed and use the mouse in my left hand, I have no trouble with using WASD or the arrow keys. Perhaps I am in a minority and other people do have problems, but I don't see how what hand you use to move the mouse impacts on keyboard movement.

Well, as a right handed person using the mouse with my right hand, it is unnecessarily awkward (for me at least) reaching across the keyboard with my left hand to use the arrow keys when the AWSD keys are right there on the left, where my left hand is.
I think Raikt had it right and it would be ideal if perhaps we could choose to change the keys in a key mapper of sorts, if need be.
