Jacob Heart Ministry of War Amarr Empire Likes received: 1	#1 - 2012-07-08 16:16:01 UTC I am in the first 30 minutes of my free trial and it appears that the mouse and scroll wheel are backward of what I am accustomed too and cannot be changed. After over 15 years of playing with mouse orientation always the same, I am not sure I can adapt to it being backward. This may be a game killer for my wife and I.

Mouse wheel I did not find, but I can live with that. It was the screen moving the opposite direction of everything I wanted to do that was really killing me. I thought I was going to get vertigo at one point.
