Hi, Well. I haven't found any muds that have a good balance, but the ones I do play, or rather one I do play, miriani, is really focused on roleplay with combat being one part of it. Personally from my experience with VIP mud, although designed with us in mind, it doesn't see to work with jaws at all, or at least in a fashion that it is usable. I personally use monkeyterm for miriani, and I can give you the setup for that if you want. I use this for one sole reason: soundpacks. This gives a whole new layer to it.
There are no mudding clients for the iphone, as far as I know, and you may be able to use your b d for input, but not sure what the lag will be like. -----Original Message----- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Loravara Sent: 26 June 2012 23:53 To: 'Gamers Discussion list' Subject: [Audyssey] Seeking Information on MUDs Hi, For years, I played on AmberMUSH and a few Pern MUSHes. Then real life took over and I disappeared from the MUSH scene for a while. I'm not sure there are really MUSHes left. Text-based role-playing in that fashion seems to have been replaced by World of Warcraft and other MMORPGs. I know there are still some MUDs out there, but I've always had the impression that these were more combat-oriented games, with a lot less role-playing going on. I have a few questions for those willing to help: Can you recommend good MUDs? Are there any that have a good balance between role-playing and combat? How many users does the typical MUD have at one time? Are there opportunities for building and coding as there were on the MUSH? For combat themed MUDs, is speed a high priority? If so, what is the best client for us to achieve that as blind players? I use JAWS 13, Eloquence and a Braille display .When I was MUSHing, I used SimpleMU, which worked well. I was able to code it to do some cool things, and tinker with JAWS to make it read well. I think I saw some references to VIPMud. Is it better for Mudding? Are there MUD clients that will work on the iPhone, and what are their pluses and minuses? If I play on the iPhone, I will certainly want to use the Braille display for input. Is this likely to pose a problem? That's probably enough to get started. Thanks in advance for your help.
