WASD no matter the game.

1) I want my mouse cursor free for doing other things
2) I hate the constant clicking, and I have some RSI issues with my mouse hand anyway.

Virtually every WASD game I've played has some kind of auto-run ability, so if you have a long way to go you put it on auto-run and just tweak the steering.

Movement always seems smoother to me with WASD.

LOL, I guess I feel more strongly about this than I realized.

Ideally a game will offer both, though.

I've always heard that, the only reason click-to-move is popular in Korean games is that most of the people there want to smoke as they play. And the only MMOs I've ever seen that offer controls like that come from Korea (with the exception of Mythos, but that's a different genre than usual).

As a non-smoker, that's not really an issue for me, and I'd rather have the extra precision that WASD offers. Click-to-move is far too jumpy and awkward for me to use willingly.

It's a game architecture thing. Click-to-move is (potentially) much lighter on server communication than WASD or constant movement.

ESDF! It's like WASD only better. Why?
- Left hand is in basic touch-typing position instead of off by one, so it's easier to switch between control and typing and also making it easier to find your keys by feeling for the little nipple on the F key
- more keys in reach for the little finger, allowing for more functions to be mapped in easy reach of the left hand
- number keys are easier to reach

If a game doesn't let me remap the controls to ESDF, I usually get annoyed and don't play it for long :)
