I happen to like both those muds; I go by Albrand on Materia Magica and
Braedan on AlterAeon. The one thing I have found challenging on Materia
Magica's quests is trying to find specific places, especially in New
Rigel...there's so many shops etc. it's hard to remember where they all
are...I'm thinking what I need to do is just make a list of landmarks in the
town and categorize them alphabetically or something. I'm thinking of
submitting an idea to the developers of that one to have a feature that
would allow a player to say something to Dennar or the watchmen or the like
such as, "Directions to Thelma's Bakery", and the NPC might respond with
something like, "Thelma's Bakery is located on X road, in the ... quadrant
of the city." So it would still be necessary to do some travelling and
searching, but you'd know where to start at least. Other than that Materia
Magica's a great mud.

Another mud that I play on is materia magica. materiamagica.com port 23 or
port 4000. either will work. I have been playing 2 years now and enjoy
much.
It is a fantasy world. It is hack and slash but there are other parts as
well. You can quest to gain rewards as well as go on what they call runs.
Runs are adventures in the game that often require a group of players to
cooperate together to get done. I enjoy it. The player base is friendly
and
the ims are very receptive to making things easy for a screen reader to
read. My husband is a guide on the game and helps many of the vi players
who
play.

Hi.
Alter Aeon.
See http://dentinmud.org
or
telnet://dentinmud.org :3010
It's a midevil style hack and slash game with a farely decent player
base.
I've got loads of friends on there. I've been playing since May 2005.
It's
sort of similar to dicu based muds, but it's not dicu as it was written
from scratch.
One of my favorite things about it that I can't find anywhere else is
that
the melee combat system you can't see each fighting round. With smaug and
dicu and such when you fight something you get a two second period of
scilence, then you get a load of hits all at once, then it's scilent for
another two seconds. Alter Aeon is just kind of continuous and seems more
realistic in that aspect.
Many people don't like Alter Aeon. They say it's boring, all you do is
run
run run, which means you go kill mobs left and right in order to get
experience that you need to level with. I certainly don't feel that way.
I
often log in and just chat with my many friends on there. If I did want
to
get more interesting than that without killing mobs I could brew potions,
or I could enter a player killer arena and go whoop some insert word of
choice here.
Speaking of player killer, which for those who are unaware, it means to
go up against another human controlled character and try to kill that
character. Alter Aeon is a great mud to me because player versis player
isn't required on there. You can never kill another player or be killed
by
another one ligidimintly if you want. In order to be killable by another
player or to be able tokill another player you have to enter a command.
There's even a temporary one so that you can just log out and back into
the game and you're no longer a player killer. Also there are player
killing arenas mortal that goes into arenas can kill other players as
that's the point. During temporary player killing and player killing
arena, you don't have anything to lose by killing or being killed. You
don't lose experience or anytyhing so you can just have a hay ride and
enjoy yourself testing your abilities against all the quad 32 players who
decide to come have fun with yoou.
Just had a recent experience with the quad 32 thing. They killed me and
several other clan members of mine a whole bunch and we finally managed
to
kill them, with all of us teaming them *lol*. That was so funny.
