No, it definately isn't flash...
it's like the harry potter games from EA.

A 3D world where you can walk into the background and around things.

It's quite nice, but still a bit clunky in some respects, mostly
because of the lag.

I would imagine a blind friendly area could be constructed... it would
go along the lines of the old MUCKs which are just text anyway.

In some cases though, sometimes I think chatting on yahoogroups is
enough.

I met a lot of really friendly people there, but also a few rude ones
who considered themselves to be too sexy to speak to the likes of me.

Oh well, their loss.
