    • John-Jacob Jingleheimer-Schmidt says:

      While I am not going to say “no” because it hasn’t been confirmed, I am 98% sure you won’t be able to use a gamepad. I base this assumption on the fact that developers stated the entire reason why they wouldn’t develop this game for consoles is the difficulty there is to make a well-playing MMO with a controller.

      That being said, I am sure there is a work-arounds and you may be able to map some keys to a controller, but I feel you’d severely gimp yourself because you don’t have a full keyboard.
