World of Warcraft – Blind Player Has Been Challenging Preconceptions Since 2012

A group of World of Warcraft players on a European server have been challenging preconceptions by making sure that all can participate in raids and other activities, including their blinded war veteran Ben ‘Hexu’ Shaw. Hexu has an ally in his fight to change the notion that there are some things that are ‘off limits’ to the blind, including participation in MMO raiding. ‘Davidian’ serves as Hexu’s “guide dog” in raids by calling out directions and generally assisting Hexu in any way possible.
