Hello.
there are actually very many muds around, in both combat and rp catagories,
and some with a mix of both. myself, as online rp isn't something I find
interesting I tend to play for pure combat, but even in an extremely combat
heavy game like alteraeon or materiamagica there are players who rp.
Some specifically rp orientated muds I've heard of have been new worlds
ateraan, Avatar mud, federation 2 and dark isles, check out the games to
play online page at www.whitestick.co.uk for a list to some of their sites.
I'm not sure what these games are like, not being an rp fan, but I've heard
people often say good things about new worlds ateraan and federation 2
especially.
As to clients and speed, well vipmud from www.gmagames.com is probably the
best and most accessible client, working automatically with several text
output methods, including sapi, window eyes, jaws and system access. it has
a very easy to handle interface and facilities for triggers, aliases and
full on scripting if you wish, though using it basically is also fine. It's
a commercial program, but the free version has little restrictions, indeed
the only major restirction I found in the free version is the lack of msp
(and not too many muds have sounds anyway, though i did buy the program
myself to support gma).
the one exception to this rule is alteraeon, sinse I'd strongly advise if
you want to play that game using the custom mushclient script designed by
oriol gomez that turns the game into virtually an audio rpg.
As I said, rp isn't as much my thing, but even in very combat heavy muds
there are players who do it, and some muds, like those I've mentioned are
very much more rp focused, it's just a case of looking around, reading mud
descriptions and finding ones you like.
hth.
All the best,
Dark.
