Font Size - Let us adjust it!

[Keith_Dragoon]

Ok I have been playing this game since closed beta and this one tiny issue has been irking me everytime I log in to the game. I have a visual impairment to the degree I am legally considered blind, I qualify for all the accessibility tools like seeing eye animals and the sorts. I am forced to play the game on a low resolution due the the UI shrinking to unreadable tinyness whenever I go above 1080x720.

My proposal is to allow us to change the size of the Font and possibly the UI, when I say font I am mostly concerned about the chat box and the menu not the overhead animations and the sorts.

In most other games I have had this option and it has done me well, in XI this problem was infinitely worse seeing as anything above 800x600 was too small to read with no way of resizing it. I ask that you PLEASE consider making an option where we can adjust the font and/or UI size and incorporate it into your future plans for the UI.

TL;DR version: I'm blind make the game easier to see! lol

poor guy! I don't know what I would do if I couldn't see my game! help the guy out SE!

there a way to change the font size but you have to download a program make a font change the size bigger and upload it to your font files then change the font to that font you made and you get bigger font. But that just a waste of time i agree they should allow us to change font size in config.

I agree with this. I have to play 1280x720 because I can't read the chat log when I have it set any higher. Love the comfort of playing on my couch in the office

In most other MMOs I could change my chat font size to 18 or increase the UI scale to offset the resolution.

Another con to this is my screen is devoured by the UI on my current resolution so I really have no room to move anything around, will include screenshot when I get on my pc.

Yes, this needs to be addressed.

I can already see the programmers bashing their heads against the keyboard with regards to this request.

It's a modest request, if they are willing to bring the game down to accommodate PS3 players why not accommodate the visually impaired players without any detrimental effect to the game?

Hey, nothing against the idea or sentiment. I like it actually.
I just envision there being some backend issues they would need to work through to make this happen. Which is then yet another item on their list to worry about... *le sigh*
