Getting comfortable with a left handed mouse is only one of the many skills you need to participate in online gaming. Today there are millions of people who play online games like World of Warcraft, EverQuest and other MMORPGs (Massive MultiPlayer Online Role Playing Games). Some people take gaming very seriously. Others only play once in a while. Do you think you’ll be a casual or an obsessive gamer? The main point is to enjoy yourself, but what’s the best way to do this? The following are some guidelines that will make you into a more accomplished gamer.
Gaming can be even more of a rough go if you’re left handed – sometimes. Sometimes it seems the world is made for right-handed people, and you know controllers are made for them, too. But one cool thing is you can choose some keyboard keys for special functions with MMORPGs. And what that means is you can just very easily create some excellent shortcuts on your keyboard for whatever game you need. You’ll be good to go for practically any role playing if you have the shorts on your keyboard and a left-handed mouse.
Be a team player. If you look closely enough, you will recognize a lot of parallels between MMORPG’s and regular team sports. There will be times when those with deeper understanding and playing time will give you directions, and you need to be able to accept them.
On the other hand, it will be necessary for you to do the same, one day, when you have to. It is okay to make sacrifices for your team-playing a way that is different than you are used to can help the team and makes playing more fun for everyone. If you’re not prepared to bend a little and play for the good of the team, then your experience may be short lived in that community. You’re there to have fun, sure, but you need to maintain the needs of the team, first.
There’s never anything wrong with asking for advice from others. No question about feeling weird if you’ve never played with a leftie mouse and the shortcuts thing. If you can find one, ask someone else who is left-handed for any tips or pointers. Always ask for helpful tricks or hints from the people you play against. You will see that many gamers like helping beginners because it gives them a chance to show-off their knowledge. When you’re no longer a n00b, you will do the same to others and help them.
The whole thing with online games is they’re supposed to be fun for everyone. If you take it too seriously or try to be super stubborn about getting your own way, you won’t have any fun.
So avoid being a brat, if you are one – because people think that sucks and it’s no fun. If you play with a left-handed mouse, then that’s cool – just don’t let it go to your head. Gaming in about fun, not the left-handed mouse affair.
