I've tried a lot of them, probably close to 50. They don't need a lot to make them accessible really. What totally kills it though is ascii art for things like borders, and in maps. Especially if the game has a minimap that updates whenever you move, yug, that's bad for us. Multi-column lists can be a pain, but I mean it isn't unworkable. It's just a lot easier if each list item is on a line if its a menu or something.

​

I really really really do not like prompts. They just don't give me info that is usable in the time when I need it and slow down combat when I need info as fast as I can get it. I generally do not play MUDs with prompts unless the prompt can be turned off an dthe info it provides can be obtained in other ways. Either that or I get off my ass and parse the prompt and make sound triggers for it.

You maybe should crosspost this to /r/mud as well.
