Over on the EUO forums, one of the developers has posted a download link for a beta version of the EUO client that supports custom keybindings, evidently a much-requested feature in community surrounding this free, tile-based, Ultima-inspired multiplayer RPG.

This is my development client that lets you bind the keyboard functions to any key you want. It also features a fancy ‘escape’ main menu full of options Please test and provide feedback. I have done this with laptops & my european & non USA keyboard friends in mind

Default keys have changed a little! The main one is p for options is now d for drink, and d for drop is scrapped (moved into view inventory). ALso the hard coded item binds jimmy, probe, klimb and bandage have been scrapped pending configurable item binds to letters, which is coming soon.

If you didn’t check the links or aren’t familiar with EUO, EUO (EUOtopia.com), EUO is a “retro multiplayer online MMORPG inspired by the early Ultimas, Nethack, Diablo, gold-box AD&D, Magic Candle, etc. ”

So, if you play EUO and would love a chance to re-map your keyboard to something a little more your style, head on over to the EUO forums and grab the beta client. I…don’t think I’ll bother hosting a download here at the Codex for the time being, since this is probably something that will see updates over the next few months before finally being rolled into the main client for the game.
