Wow, it's August already. Our temperatures are climbing past 100 here, and all the other professors are complaining. Me? I love it! Best weather for practicing pyromancy! And Friday is the best day for... you guessed it... feedback!

This week, we're curious about your affinity with mice (or lack of). Please take our poll and let us know... how do you play? Do you click on interactable objects with your mouse, or do you prefer to press X?
Time to go outside and play fetch with the firecat, he is also loving this weather! Have a wonderful weekend!
EDIT: fixed a typo. ::grin::

I use the X button. I usually have one hand on the arrow kets (Up, down, left, right) and one hand on the keyboard. I use the mouse for mostly battles, shopping, selling, and gardening. With the mouse, I often click in the wrong places, and it takes me longer to interact with the mouse!
Easy one- I use the mouse all the time . As I am a older player my hands sometimes hurt pretty bad and if I can do more with just the mouse makes it much simpler.
I press the "x" key because i use the click feature to look camera around, with x. i always know i am gonna talk to him/her/it/ and not look at my shoes!
Well, Falmea, I use both of them all the time. It's easier to use a keyboard mostly. Next, Well, The click sometimes rotates my screen. I have a question for you. When is the "Secret" Going to be released into live game? :-)
Well I am sure most people don't mind using the x, but if you use a laptop and a mouse and you sit back in the semi dark relaxed, it is tough to find the x on the keyboard and a lot of times waist time where I am already using a mouse why use the x as well >.>it would be nice if either or would be available for all parts of the game. more then once someone snatched something in front of me cause I could not find the x fast enough cause the lights where to low.
It all depends on what I am doing. If I am questing, and just going along, then ya, I will just click the npc, reagent, wooden chest, whatever, with my mouse. However, many times I will be actively harvesting reagents at known locations, then 1 hand is moving with the mouse while my other hand hovers over the "x" button. Makes it quicker to grab the reagent and move on to the next location.
Interesting! I'm more for the keyboard, Since my hands are usually down there typing away, but when I was menu I always used the mouse so I used that more. I think wizards just use what's based off of their typing scheme. But that's me ... and i'm initiate/apprentice/novice wizard around here for a reason
I always use the x button because it is easier since my mouse (my mouse board) doesn't have any grip. I have been using it ever since i have gotten wizard101. So the x button is my clicker.
i prefer to use x instead of clicking the mouse for a few reasons -my hands already are on the keyboard ready to type -i use a laptop anyways -i think my finger kinda hovers over the x key already cya in the spiral! :D rachel iceheart lvl 58 balance
In battle I use the mouse to select cards and place them on target. Moving around, harvesting reagents, talking to the quest giver etc, I use the keyboard and X.
It all depends on what I am doing at the time. Mostly, I use the mouse, but for some things, I seem to have no choice but to use the X key. I really prefer the mouse tho, as one poster put it; I am getting too old for my hands to do as much as I like. LOL!! :) :D
X ALL THE WAY!!! the mouse is so inconvinient because sometimes if there are a lot of people crowded around a person (like in he bazzar) you end up clicking on a person......and THAT is annoying!
Usually, I use my left hand for the w, a, s, d, and x keys and click with my right. When I get lazy I will walk around with the mouse, or use the up, down, left, and right keys. I usually interact using the x key, or just use the mouse all of the time, again, when I feel lazy .
I'm use to some other games so I use the mouse to move (holding both buttons), but X to interact. Everyone else in my family is pretty much the opposite though.
hey falmea, lemme just start by saying you the best ravenwood teacher! ok so i usually play with pressing X because when i tired i just lean back in my chaiur and just use keyboard, but i always use the mouse in duel
