Hi there.
Well, I was just about to send a message with instructions on how to use
simutronics games with vipmud, since I posted about this a few months ago.
Unfortunately, I seem to no longer have a play.net account, which is where
dragonrealms and gemstone IV are located! grin
But anyway, here is a copy of a message I sent to the list regarding logging
into gemstone IV with vipmud. I know the question is regarding
dragonrealms, but I am sure that other than the difference in host names,
the instructions would be the same.
The below message talks about logging into the website as if you were going
to login with the Wizard client. What you will want to do though is
download the .sal file that comes up when you click on the go play link.
The only way I was able to download this .sal file without Internet explorer
trying to launch the wizard front end, was to use fire fox. That is why in
the below message, I refer to firefox. You could probably stop the wizard
frontend from launching if you disable active X for the dragonrealms.net
site.
Use the below at your own risk. Beings that it is the Christmas Holiday, I
will be away from my computer for most of the next few days.
I would suggest that you do a search in the play.net forums regarding
logging in with a telnet client, that was where I originally got the
instructions.
Basicly, what you will need to do is get the userKey from the .sal file of
your character. This is how simutronics keeps people from logging in for
free.
When you use vipmud to connect to whatever the host and port are, you will
not see anything when you connect. This is normal. You will need to paste
in the user key into vipmud's window and press enter. Again, you will see
or hear nothing. You then want to type FE/JAVA all in caps as shown and
press enter. You should then be good to go.
Again, this is for gemstone IV but it will work with whatever dragonrealms
uses as their host.
Rest assured, Simutronics muds including dragon realms can be played with
vipmud, at least, they could be played a few months ago. grin

Begin message.
Ok, I managed to just get into gemstone iv with VipMud. What I had to do
was use firefox to log into my account. When I clicked the go play button,
a page came up saying that if my browser didn't launch using active x to
click here. When I did, firefox brought a file save dialog with my
character's .sal file, ie, grogrond.sal. I then saved it to disc, and
opened it in notepad, and copied the key to the clipboard, and used the host
of prime.gs4.game.play.net and the port of 4900 entered into the host and
port sections in vipMud. Then, I pasted the key from the clipboard and hit
enter. I then typed FE/JAVA and hit enter. And I am now in!

Hi Bryce,
I used to play Dragon Realms. I think it's the best mud there is, but I
found the frustration of using ZMud too much and eventually gave it up.
I'm not sure what to tell you: Dragon Realms scrolls by as fast as any
other mud on the Net. I knhow it's a dumb suggestion, but I suppose you
could slow your voice rate down some. That would give you greater
comprehensibility but of course you would be lagging behind whatever the
mobs are doing. The only really bright thing I can tell you is that the
maker of VIP Mud, the mud client designed especially for blind players, is
considering adding Simutronics support in the next version. You might try
writing to him. He's at GMAGames and can be reached through the contact
form there.

Subject: [Audyssey] help with dragonrealms
Hi, I was told by a friend that you guys would be able to help me. I'm
currently trying this online text-based game called Dragon Realms. I'm
having trouble with it though, cause I'm totally blind and I need to be
able to read what I'm doing in a battle, but I can't because the messages
from the monsters attacking me go by to fast and I can't keep up. I was
wondering if their was way to make this better for me, I really love the
game, I used to play games like final fantasy 11 and world of warcraft
which weren't all that accessible, and then I discovered this game and
it's much more ccessible except for the minor inconvientses, which why I
come to this list, I need help!!! So, if someone would be willing to help
me I would be verry greatful. Thanks
BRICE
