Pocket pull? Fapalooza?
Jokes aside, get better soon! Browser games / RTS may be your saving grace until your arm gets better. |

You need to look for games were the camera rotation follows the character. I'm sure everyone that plays one can list it here. I know that Age of Conan, Aion, and Star Trek Online have that option and I'm sure many more do. Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can |

Any of the traditional type MMOs: WoW, SWTOR, Aion, EQ2, LoTRO etc. People are going to call you a clicker though. :D Edit: I have experience playing these with one hand also. Just might lvl slower since you can not use your keybinds. BOOYAKA! |

Most of the indie games on steam you only need mouse. Osmosis, xotic, etc
And these are great games too. Plus during holidays each of them is like 2 bucks. Great time to grab em! “Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil. Never back away from an enemy. Either fight or surrender. It is not enough to say I will not be evil. Evil must be fought wherever it is found.”The Iron Code" |

Its not like MMOs are so complicated you can't just use a mouse. Most modern MMOs allow you to run with the mouse(presing down both buttons and using mouse to steer), and then just click your hotbar.
I do know DDO doesn't let you run with the mouse for some odd reason. Good luck. I hope your injury isn't permanent. |

LIneage 2 user point and click movimentation, it uses skill bar that use f1-f12 keys, but u can drag by mouse, lock em and click if you want, the PVE part should be eazy, now if you want pvp that may require more practice. Atlantica, is a turn based game, you can chose calmly the option with mouse. well so far i remember only these GOOD games, hope it helps. now: GW2 |

If I'm not mistaken, you only need one hand for atlantica online since you auto run to quests and objectives and to add to that the combat is turn based so need for jumping or hot keys. Check it out and I hope I helped :) |

You guys are all assuming he can adapt to using a mouse with his left hand ( witch is hard, try it. ) games that don't require a mouse might be better advice. Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can |

It's older, but Guild Wars is playable with 1 hand. You can use point and click to move, and you only have a small amount of spells on your spellbar at one time that your able to use. |

Get a decent gaming mouse with a few programmable buttons and you can play most games with just one hand. Games like SWTOR, WoW, and Rift can easily be played with one hand. ![]() |

Thanks for all the suggestions!! Been playing Company of Heroes series lately; but it's not feeding my gaming needs >.<. Gonna be a year or 2 until i get much movement back in my arm if I do at all; but ill take yalls advice and try some of these MMOs out; can't remember playing most of em because from when I DO remember I had both hands lol, gonna needa work on the left I guess; and as for the gaming mouse I have a
Haven't got to use it yet; but its motion censored for the mouse! Just need to bind the click button to one of the triggers. Anyone have any trial/beta keys etc? I don't wanna download and sub to a game and find out its too difficult for me to play.
Thanks !! |

I second this. I injured my shoulder and had to get surgery, so I couldn't use my dominant right arm for months. I spent my free time playing Guild Wars, all with my left hand. Even got into the hall of heros for my first, and last, time in heroes ascent :D |

Originally posted by Krysokos I would look for games like diablo and diablo 2. I would also recommend getting a Razer Naga. The 12 programable mouse buttons on the side are very worth it. Spiritsever - AR/Ele - The Secret World Ashmaker - Ranger < Prophets > - Age of Conan - #1 in Kills Sweety - Sorceress < Infinite Darkeness > - SWTOR - 2.6K PvP Rating ??? - Pilot - ??? - EVE Symir - Swordmaster - Warhammer - RR100 Dreadnaught - Rogue - Rift |

A razor mouse would be much better, with the programable buttons, but as you are using your left hand, you're going to have to see about some left handed mouses probably. Youre best bet are point and click games, such as Lineage II, Diablo 3 (when it comes out) and some others. May wanna google games with point and click, probably get a bunch of hits. Using your left hand sucks, but people can train themselves to be both handed! I wish you good luck and a swift recovery ! :) |

Runes of Magic is pretty point and click happy. I used to play MMOs like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee. |

Originally posted by Krysokos There are alot of Game's with built in bots out there. I have tried alot of them, and while they definitly are not the best games in the world they are still somewhat entertaining. Magic World Online, Battle of the Immortals, and Godswar just to list a few. Again I'm not saying these are awsome games, but they still have key elements that make a game entertaining. Crafting, Questing, Elite's, World Bosses, PVP etc. Seems like it would be a good time for you to see if that type of thing floats your boat ^^ "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool." |

I'd like to suggest two things: 1) Get a controller of some sort that gives you access to a lot of things in a single hand. For example, my Logitech Dual Action gamepad lets me use a thumbstick (which can be used to control a mouse pointer), a directional pad, and three buttons with my left hand, and then reroute those to arbitrary keystrokes. There might be other gamepads more suitable to what you need, but being able to do a lot with one hand will help. 2) Get a slow paced game, so that if it takes you twice as long to enter a command as it normally would with two hands, it doesn't matter. If you're two seconds "late" in a turn-based game, it doesn't matter, so you're not at a disadvantage. Something like a Civilization or Europa Universalis game would probably be playable for you. If you're looking for MMORPGs, Wizard 101 has turn-based combat that gives you 30 seconds to choose your move, so you'd be just as effective playing with one hand as with two. ----- You could also consider getting a mouse with a lot of buttons on it. But mice are ergonomically horrible, and if you're aggressively using a mouse with your left hand and aren't used to it, then that's a repetitive strain injury waiting to happen. And then you'd have to find a game you can play with no hands, which is a tall order. |
