I’m not sure this is feasible, but it would be great if there were a toned-down version of the game, such that mentally-challenged players could still play. My son has Trisomy-21 (commonly called Down Syndrome), and he operates at the level of a 7-10 year old (he’s 24). He can’t read, but he plays games well.

Obviously, this would have to be a special server, where the items would only be a subset of what the regular servers have. Leveling would have to be easier, etc.

Most importantly, there would have to be voices in addition to typeface for the words.

There are probably a whole host of things I haven’t thought of. But, I know my son would be tickled pink if his siblings could play with him on occasion. Obviously, rewards would have to be far less for guests on this server, but we wouldn’t be playing for in-game rewards. Our goal would be a much more lofty reward: time.

One idea I had would be to simply have effective level be 1-5 levels higher than it would be on a “normal” server. There are probably a host of other ideas.
