Every mud is accessible.
The question is, how much garbage do they put on the screen along with
the desired information. This is where a good mud client with gag
capabilities come handy. Most muds are usable right out of the box so
to speak. Others not so much, but every mud is text-based, that makes
them accessible, it's just a matter of how much screen spam there is
either during battles, or while walking around. Usually, a decent
client will have functions to eliminate unwanted text, and often times
the mud itself will have methods of reducing the displayed info, to make
it easier for mud users who don't want to see all the extra information.
There are some muds out there that have created screen reader friendly
interfaces, these don't change the mud in the slightest, they simply
reduce the amount of information the mud puts out at any given time, to
make it easier for screen readers to handle the amount of information
presented.
It's perfectly possible to play muds with nothing but a telnet
connection, I used to do that all the time, (and still do on occasion)
if I'm not on my usual computer, or don't have my normal set of tools
available. It's obviously not as nice as using my desired
clients/macros, but it works just the same, it's only the quality of the
experience that changes.
So, instead of asking if a mud is accessible, perhaps folks should ask
how usable is a mud, they're all acvcessible, it's just some are more
usable than others.

I've heard of a sci-fi mud called CoreMue. Search for mud's or just
CoreMud on YouTube to find more about it. Don't know if it's
accessible since the demostrator wasn't using a screen reader. But
neither do the folks on Alter's YouTube channel and we know that one
is. So it's something to check out.

Hi Kelly,
I am a total Alter Aeon newbie. Well, I guess I'm a Mud newbie as
well. Maybe I'll see ya around the game sometimes, but you're
probably way ahead of me in it, both in stats and locations.
What Muds can folks recommend? I love fantasy type games, but also
sci-fi and/or horror would be good, too.

Hi,
I just got back into playing Alter Aeon with Mush-Z, but am
also interested in trying other MUDs with Mushclient. A friend
suggested I download the client itself and install it
alongside Mush-Z, which I’ve done. I’m now wondering if there
are any special files or plugins I need to grab as well to
play MUDs using just the client with JAWS or NVDA. If so,
which ones should I look for?
Thanks.
Yours Sincerely,
