== Accessibility in EVE Online ==

EVE Online is a complex MMO with a steep learning curve, and it attracts a wide range of players, including those with ~~various~~ disabilities. EVE Online has built-in accessibility options to help more players participate fully in New Eden and players have also identified solutions that work for their unique access needs. In addition, EVE University staff and members also work to ensure that our fleets, classes, and resources are as accessible as possible for players of all abilities; we might not always get it right, but we're always looking to continuously improve.
