This is very common. The first thing I tell newbies in EQ to do is to move that "a" binding
somewhere else (I use ~).

In beta, the day they changed the overall bindings (attack used to be Z and X -- yes, you had to
start swinging with both arms) there were dead bodies everywhere. My own demise came when I
asked Marshall Goobler, "Am I one with the wall?"

Or more accurately, "Am..."

After running back to Rivervale (I was bound in Freeport at the time, and just wanted to see how
I was doing in the quest as I went through Rivervale), I was pleased/horrified to see that there
were at least 3 other bodies on the ground near mine.
