Best mud clients and mud games? (self.Blind)
submitted by DariusA92
My only experience of playing a mud game was something called Alter Aeon several years ago. I played it on a client called Mud Z, I think.

Recently I've started to read progression fantasy novels and I'm tempted to play a mud game.

Can you recommend a good and free mud client and a good game that isn't about the space? Alter Aeon was a bit too complicated, so a simpler game would be preferable. Thanks.

I've played for over 20 years on $1. Starts off relatively simple and can get more complex later on, but has several VI/blind users, even at endgame/more complex levels of use. Also includes a lot of VI function built into the MUD itself, and a $1 client package built on top of Mushclient.

My friend made a huge pack for aardwolf years ago before he died. I have a copy still. I even have my ancient setup which no longer works so am cobbling the old pack i had in with the newer spellup and such plugins. miss the cp plugins and such i used to use they were easy to operate.

I can highly recommend mush client you have to download mush reader and set that up to get it to work fully but once you do it works pretty seamlessly with the screen reader if you open up mash client and it says workspace that will be sure to hit the alt key to jump to another part of the window

Thanks. Is there a way to read output like a notepad file?

Yes. I can't remember the keystroke exactly, but probably something like control plus tab. Have fun!

output functions is a good plugin for that. its good now it may have a bug in some muds just control tab to the output window ans scroll up and down with arrow keys. I do not know how to configure it completely for each mud. there is also a channel history plugin out there to make buffers but I never learned to configure it either.

I use mush client with the mush reader plugin with every thing i can unless they have a vipmud sound pack. now if they dont have a sound pack then i just load it up in mush client. erion mud has a mush client sound pack that is all ready to go. so all ya do is go to there sight and download it. alter aeon provides links to mushz there client for the blind that people have been working on for years I have that as well I have been playing verious muds for years. I love muds. if you ever need any help let me know. Muds are one of my favorite passtimes aside from social media also there is a sub reddit for muds. think its just called mud. I got it in my list but brain si going nuts.
