Unfortunately you need said builds to be able to explore, especially if
you're playing solo, and again this applies to pretty much all muds. You
might have some luck with Aardwolf, and of course Project Bob has randomly
generated gear so even I don't max on there, but on most muds you have one
of two options. Group and play that way, or make your character awesome and
explore solo. There really isn't anything in between, unless you like dying
a lot. Even I can't solo very well on alter and I've got 12 years of mudding
experience, so I usually either lead a group or hit/tank in a group. And
Project Bob I haven't had the opportunity to play around with the grouping
system much, but I do know I like it, since there isn't really a level range
limit and the experience isn't messed up when you group like it is on most
muds. If mechanics aren't your thing, then muds aren't for you, because in
all my experience with muds I haven't yet found one that will allow you to
just go trundling along picking up whatever looks cool and slapping it on
and expect to get anywhere, even if your objective is just exploration.
Maybe give aardwolf a try, it has a lot of navigational commands to get you
places, and an eqsearch command to tell you most of the best items for your
level and where to get them. That's probably your best option for easy
exploration.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] My issue with muds, discuss
I'm personally usually a paladin or clerric player, because I like utility
magic such as heal, but I like fighting as well.
Generally though I don't really care enough about the game to do mechanics
to ridiculous levels, sinse I'd rather explore around and find stuff than
follow rigid guides or attempt to minimax, sinse to me it's the
atmosphere, exploring quests, and reactive elements of the game that are
more interesting than minimax builds.
I suppose the fact that I'm using sapi for mud output to read incoming
text might have an affect, sinse the voice is possibly reacting slower,
but I'm not sure, and there's no alternative to this really.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
