It is. Additionally the game is automatically configured for better
screen reader support.

So far as I know, if you use the sound pack for alteraeon, port 3010 is
automatically used.

You can look it up under Blind Player Support, near the top of the home page. I
can't remember everything on that page but it did say the port turned off ansi
art. Look it up if you're interested.

What?
This is the first I've heard of this.
I've been playing alter aeon for years, and never knew they had a blind
friendly port.
What does it offer that the main mud port does not?
What's the purpose?
(honestly, I don't see the point, but whatever works I guess).

If you play Alter Aeon just be sure to use their blind-friendly port. I
believe it's 3010. Type that into your client of choice along with the address
to shut off art and
possibly other graphical elements. I don't know if that also activates
their screen reader mode or if you have to do that from the character creation
screen.

Subject: Re: [blind-gamers] Muds
There aren't many muds with sound packs, mostly because nobody has taken the
time to create one.
If you're working on strictly soundpack muds, alter aeon is your best bet.
If you want something with lots of newbie helpers, and one that has lots and
lots to do, then try 3k.org. It also has a sister mud at 3scapes.org if you
like the one, you'll
probably like the other one, since they share many of the same features.
I also log into ancient anguish from time to time, just because it's been
around since the 90s, and I used to play on it back then, so I still pop in
every now and then just to
see what's going on. Occasionally I'll play for a few months, then bow out
again for months to years at a time, but I do tend to drop by again afterwords
just to see what
changed.
If you're looking for a huge gaming area, and loads and loads of races to
choose from, then lostsouls.org is probably the one you want, though I stopped
playing there years ago
when they expanded the mud to something like three times it's original size,
and their navigation went out the window. It's probably considerably easier
for someone who never
played under the old system, but I quit playing when I couldn't find anything
anymore, and discovered that their expansion didn't account for things like
roads that just ended in
the middle of nowhere, and then you'd find little settlements scattered all
over the plains with absolutely markings to help find your way back to it.
Which, honestly, was a real shame, because I'd played on that mud for nearly 20
years before leaving that one after those impossible (for me) changes. It's
still a great mud, I
just can't handle it anymore.

Hi
I feel like creating a character on a mud that is easy to follow. I know
how to move around in a mud, but I don?t want anything too complicated, as a
lot of them don?t
have sound packs.
