Sometimes i get car sickness, but never from playing a game though.

try to put camera far away from your charcter with mouse scroll.
it will become overhead view(like any real time strategy games)
everything will appear to move slowly(like watching fast moving car from long distance)...so im pretty sure you will be ok.
no surprising rapid camera angle change in this way too

just to make sure...try april beta event(you can either get pre-order or get friend pass key from here...there are friendly people who likes to share their friend pass key. i already gave mine to my friend. sorry

)

As far as I've gathered (and I could be wrong of course) it sort of plays just like KOTOR (Knights of The Old Republic). I've only played it for an hour (last hour of the World Preview Event), but that was how it felt.

Hope you will be able to play it, mate!

Then I tried holding down BOTH mouse buttons at the same time. The cursor vanishes and your character runs straight forward in the direction that it's facing, and when you let off the buttons, the character just stops with no skewing of the camera angle. You may want to try that this weekend, if you use the mouse to move your character. I've not used the keyboard for movement much, so can't comment on that. I hope that helps a bit.

I think you've got it! So I just hold down both buttons when moving? I'll try it this coming weekend.

Man that must really, really suck. I could never imagine having a motion sickness problem with games. I would be so mad, actually I think even if I got sick and I really enjoyed the game I would tuff it out. I find it very strange that the things that I love the most about some games such as very fast gameplay and a constant moving very fast responsive camera, some people get sick because of that. I don???t think I could live if I had that. I would probably dedicate my life to finding a cure.
