Re: 3Kingdoms/3Scapes
3Scapes has a readermode variable you can set that removes ascii art from a few places, though not all of them. It also makes a few adaptations such as making some displays shorter or less spammy.
As for combat spam, that's usually guild-based and pretty much every guild I've seen has many settings to brief information you don't want.
One thing I'd recommend for screen reader users is to type autoHP as soon as you can. This would be after a certain part in the tutorial for new players. It will turn off the HP display every round of combat, and then you can just type HP to see the display when you need it.
As for exploring and questing, I know I focused on combat a lot, but there's actually tons to do that isn't combat. With both muds being essentially 20 years old, there have been wizards building areas that whole time and it shows in the 40000 plus rooms to explore. Pretty much every area has a special feature of some kind, somethin g to search, examine, fiddle with, etc. And there are 90 built in quests, plus little mini quests for many of the areas that involve reputation or a piece of equipment or the like. 3Kingdoms also has a missions system that's more like the typical retrieve items or kill mobs systems in some of the diku codebase games or games like Materia Magica.
With the games both having 3 separate things merged into one, you can also take your pick as to where you'd like to explore. If you're in a fantasy mood, go crawling through dungeons and caves to find magical artifacts, again, many of which have special features. You can find things like a jewel sword that can switch damage types when you press on the jewels, like pressing the ruby causes the sword to burst into flame.
Feeling in a more sci-fi mood? Go explore everything from post-apocalyptic desert wastelands to star trek, and expect that there's little hidden mechanisms around every corner and puzzles to sol ve. Trek will have working turbolifts, etc.
And chaos, as I said above, is for everything else. But even the smurfs area has hidden things to be found. Even Sesame Street has special features if that's your thing. Chaos has areas based on anime, games, books, tv shows, and just complete randomness.
