Everyone refers to accessibility like it's some kind of cosmic
mentor on how to make a great MMO. The logic is straight out of a
freshman course: WoW is accessible, accessibility means a broader
audience, therefore it has mind-boggling numbers of subscribers.
But getting an exact definition of accessibility from anyone except Miriam Webster is a challenge.

Accessibility Defined as we prepare for a discussion next week on whether accessibility is necessarily a good thing for games.
