Please forgive the incoming wall of text, but please read it. I am desperate for some help with this problem.

I was thrilled to learn about the Uthguard shard and being able to play my beloved DAoC again for free. The first time I entered the game, I was pleased to see that things still work like they did 16+ years ago - all moving and turning is done with the mouse. To move, I hold down the right mouse button, pan my character with the mouse, and press the left button to move. The right button must be held down while the left one is pressed in order to move the character (this is appropriately and accurately described in the Keyboard Settings as "LefRightMouse)". I have always used this method for every MMO I have played - DAoC, WoW, SWTor, TSW, and many others. AAMOF, this has become so automatic for me that it was hard for me to remember how I did it in order to describe it here. BTW, when neither of the mouse buttons is being pressed, the mouse cursor is completely free and visible at all times.

Anyway, I made a Chanter and a Druid. Got them up to level 7. Had a ball !!!

Yesterday, when I logged in, apparently my key settings had somehow gotten corrupted, and I couldn't move or do anything. The mouse cursor was not free or visible. I could turn my toon, but not move. I finally got things going again by selecting the "MMO Default" option in the Keyboard settings. No idea what caused this problem.

Today when I logged in, both characters were again corrupted and in the same state. This time when I picked the MMO Default option, nothing happened. After spending almost an hour trying everything I could (including changing the settings in-game and also at the character selection screen), I gave up.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Does anyone know how to fix it and, preferably, keep it fixed ? If I am able to get it fixed, is there some way I could save my key settings on my computer, and then copy them back over if they get corrupted again ?

I know this all sounds weird, but surely I am not the only person that has experienced this, on either Uthguard or on the original DAoC. I would greatly appreciate some help. I was really enjoying playing my beloved DAoC again....

P.S. I also posted this in the reddit for Uthguard....hope that is not a problem....

I am still unable to play. I even made a new character, but when I log him in, I still can't move him. I even used the Options at the character selection screen to set things up, but all 3 of my characters will not move using the mouse. I have no idea why this worked for several days and then stopped. This is especially frustrating that not only did existing characters cease to work, but a newly created one as well. I find it hard to believe that there is NO ONE with knowledge about this problem that can help me. Should I post this in another place ? Is there a settings file on my computer that I can delete to reset things ? Someone please help me get this working again !!!!!

BTW, I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.

I had a problem where I could not zone into Nisse, no one could help, I had to reinstall the game and it fixed everything. I have no idea what happened and why I had to but it works and no problems.
