Morgan Johnstone New Eden Accessibility Bureau 2	Posted - 2015.09.18 08:03:22 - [1] - Quote Greetings Capsuleers! Earlier this morning I posted a forum topic in the Ideas & Features section of the forums about creating a disabled player group. You can see it here. With the feedback given in that thread, conversations with other players both in game and on Slack we've decided to move forth with the Disabled Players Union. The Disabled Players Union is a player created and player driven group for any player with a disability. I am actually legally blind so it would be great to talk to you all! Anyway, we've created a in game chat channel called "DPU Lounge" and we're setup for as many of you want to join that channel. We've reached out to CCP Guard in regards to getting us on the next o7 show and we've also reached out to Bobmon about getting us shared on EVENews24. Hopefully things will pick up pretty fast! The purpose and goal of the Disabled Players Union is to provide a safe and helpful space for players with disabilities. So please join us! Fly Safe~~~~ Morgan Johnstone New Eden Accessibility Bureau New Eden Hosting

But isn't this one of the few opportunities for disabled people to share a hobby with Not-disabled players? They get "separated" in RL much enough, i'm sure most of them actualy enjoy it not to be labeled as "disabled" if they pursue their hobbie. Very true, people are free to associate themselves with the group in whatever way they wish if they wish to at all. :) Morgan Johnstone New Eden Accessibility Bureau New Eden Hosting

Morgan Johnstone The New Gallentean Combine Brave Collective 30	Posted - 2015.11.18 04:34:39 - [10] - Quote Machinist HAHAHA wrote: as a fellow disabled player it is nice to know more people are taking on the challenge of eve online It really is. When I first started playing, I was pretty intimidated by other players and stories I'd heard. I was nervous to approach other players and join a corporation. Finally, I took that step, more like a jump actually and I've not stopped playing since. Morgan Johnstone > "Strive to be more and do more than others say you are and can."
Morgan Johnstone The New Gallentean Combine Brave Collective 32	Posted - 2015.11.25 08:04:07 - [11] - Quote I'll work on a list of software and hardware. I had made a corporation, but I shut it down. I don't think that someone's just going to leave their corporation to join a new one. If people show interest, then maybe we could work something out. Any donations are welcome, maybe we can create an event to raise awareness of disabled gamers and offer ISK prizes. I also think that if we could get some press (i,e: EVENews24, New Eden Update, etc...) we could get some more awareness. One thing I'd love to do is organize a CSM town hall centered around letting disabled players talk with CSM members and vise versa. Message me or respond with your thoughts and ideas. I'll be in Washington D.C. over the next four days, but I should be able to check in from time to time. o7 Morgan Johnstone > "Strive to be more and do more than others say you are and can."

But is this a corp/alliance you're speaking of? I don't know that a Disabled Corp will be a good idea. Maybe better to just have a chat channel. I just worry because every corp has bad times. When a disabled members corp has a hard time, this will feed negative stereotypes and incite major trolling. There is a lot of hate and bigotry that gets exposed in eve. Get in fleets and they are full of it. I've personally encouraged Devs to make certain interface concessions towards color blind players, such as using different symbols rather than colors to define interface relationships. But playing legally or totally blind, I wouldn't even know how to start keeping the game fun and playable without a friend to act as an interface. I have no real intention to leave my corp/alliance at this time. If I did make a corporation, it would be disabled friendly.
