Fare enough, though I'd be interested to know about combat sinse they do
claime to have blind players who engage in it but don't have any infomation
about this at all, and as I said the system id strike me as an interesting
one and not the usual hacknslash, it's just as with most muds a question of
the speed of text reading.
Sometimes I actually wish muds could stop with the real time combat, or at
least slow the rounds downto give people time to read the text, which I know
is sort of against the point of muds but you know what i mean :D.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

I’m not sure about combat. I chose to become a druid, which is a
nonviolent guild. I can’t even pick up a weapon.

hi Shannon.
One thing I do wonder about if there is no screen reader low spam mode
is how combat works, sinse the system sounded interesting but text
intensive, and personally I'm not overly keen on having my voice at
stupid speed (sinse I always want the atmosphere of a mud).
Unfortunatelyk, if there are no screen reader adaptations I can't
countenance giving the thing a place on audiogames.net, but that doesn't
mean it might not be fun either way, the writeups on the world and guidls
and quests and things to do certainly got my attention.
All the best,

I like Avalon a lot. I’ve not known of any screen reader specific
settings. Navigating the areas can be difficult, since the map is not
accessible, but if you keep a file of directions to certain places, that
works well.
There are a wide variety of professions to choose from. It’s pretty RP
intensive. Questing is a big part of the MUD, as it’s one major way to
gain experience.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi.
I've been investigating muds that need to have db entries (I just put
one up for flux world today), ie, muds that offer some sort of screen
reader mode with low spam, ascii map alternatives etc, plus of course
dipping my toe into muds is always fun.
One game I keep seeingkicking around is Avalon mud.
it has some great writeups that actually sound my sort of thing, lots
of exploring and a combat system that sounds very different indeed,
however I do wonder about some things, and also while someone was on
the audiogames.net forum last year he was a little none specific if the
game had any adaptations in and of itself for screen readers, indeed
the only mention I can see of anything screen reader related on site is
a listing for mushclient as a compatible client for Jaws.
So, does the game have some screen reader settings? and also, if anyone
is playing, what is it like?
I particualrly am interested sinse the game is at least semi
commercial. That is new players start free, but at some point after
completing novice training a newbie has to either get sponsorship from
either an existing in game organization, such as a city or guild (which
apparently most do), or pay a monthly fee of 7.50 usd a month.
So, what is the game like?
All the best,
Dark.
