Red Orb Games
Oct0
Alright! You’ve got Istaria downloaded. You’ve created your first new character. And now it’s time to rush into that tutorial full speed, right? Right?
Woah… now. Hold on. The first thing you’re going to want to do is check out your keyboard controls and configure them to something that feels comfortable to you. This is true especially if you’ve played other MMORPGs before. The Istaria defaults are somewhat… unusual… compared to other games I’ve played.
So here’s a little guide to get you started on setting up your keys to do what you want them to do!
- Click the little blue orb in the bottom lefthand corner of your screen. This is your menu orb.
- When the menu pops up, choose Options.
- Then open the Key Bindings tab if you don’t already have it open.
- Here you will see a list that you can bind your keys to. The defaults are currently shown to the right (you can have two assigned to each command).
- To change the default, simply click the top key assignment button. It will begin to flash. See the picture below.
- If you want to completely clear the key assignment, simply click the button again.
- If you want to change the key assignment, click the key you wish to assign the command to. For example, if you want to change “Step Left” to use to Letter Q key (like I do), click the Letter Q key while the button is flashing.
- When you change your command, the command box might turn red. This simply means that another command is set to use that same key. See the picture below.
- This isn’t a problem — it just means that you need to scroll down, find out which other command is set to use the same key and change it to something else. This takes a little time, but it’s well worth it.
- When you are finished make sure to click the Apply button before clicking Okay! If you don’t click Apply, the changes won’t be made and you’ll be sitting there wondering why nothing you did just took effect (and you’ll have to key them all over again)! Do I sound like I’m talking from experience? Yeah…
Below is a list of keybindings that I change when I create a new character. I encourage you to set them to what is most comfortable to you, however! Because setting up your game is personalizing it just for your playstyle… and Istaria has a LOT of things you can do to make the game feel like your own.
My List of Key Bindings
- Step Left (Strafe Left) – Q
- Step Right (Strafe Right) – E (will conflict with Equip)
- Up/Jump – Space Bar
- Stop Action – Backspace
- Screenshot – PrintScreen
- Toggle Interface – F12

Daisy Penfolde turned from the swings and walked away, trying to ignore her daughter’s squeals of delight as she ran to Caroline Rook’s waiting arms…
She felt numb, but all things considered, that was at least something. With her legs on automatic, she moved through quiet streets without even the tears to mourn the loss of her child.
Do you forgive me?
Eva had answered the question, said it wasn’t her fault, and such it was. Daisy couldn’t help the jumps, she couldn’t help what had happened. Couldn’t help…
She felt a nagging worry: why had she resisted the Sisterhood in the first place?
It seemed a distraction, but this act was at the core of the events of the last few hours… of her whole existence: Why had she resisted?
And the road stretched onward.
She heard the crackle of dead leaves and felt the dirt beneath her feet as she walked, barely noticed weeds and dandelions growing up through the cracks in the road and pavement. What was it Smith had said? Something about the area North of the border being ungoverned.
It looked perfectly fine to her.
Unexpectedly she craved a cigarette and a coffee, but neither were to hand. Realising this was just another distraction, she kept walking.
The problem of why she had resisted still remained. She considered the possibility that it could have been a future jump, one where she was trying to avert the mistakes of the past.
‘And that helped the last time didn’t it,’ she said, her voice sharp and sarcastic in the silence.
She stopped momentarily. Self-hate for the events of the past was a waste of time and energy. She couldn’t change the events of the past…
But she could though. The last time had been an utter disaster. If she’d kept her mouth shut and just observed things might not have turned out the way they had. That reality was one bad decision after another though.
Another thought rose: why had Elvis been in the cafe waiting for her? Was it a predetermined meeting-point? She had walked into it quite by accident… or perhaps more likely on automatic.
