Deaf gamers build community and inclusivity in World of Warcraft through Undaunted Guild

The Undaunted Guild, formed in 2011, is a community for deaf and hard of hearing players in World of Warcraft. The guild aims to create an inclusive environment, helping members connect and communicate effectively while playing the game. Recent improvements in accessibility features, such as adjustable text size and the introduction of a deaf character, have made the game more playable for differently-abled gamers. The guild has also collaborated with Blizzard to enhance these options. Members of the Undaunted Guild report strong personal connections, often forming lifelong friendships and partnerships. The community has grown, inspiring other groups to focus on inclusivity in gaming.
