Oh I've already experienced the type of problem you describe. I usually get around this by going into computer braille to create things like aliases, trying to make sure that the letters I use for their names aren't abreviations or contractions. For instance, the next time I do log in, if I can man

I strongly suspect a Perkins-style keyboard will curse you in many interesting and unexpected ways when trying to play Alter Aeon (or any mud). A capital sign is probably being read as an apostraphy for example, and a lot of the commands you'll type would normally register as contractions. A

Lol. You're correct about the technical stuff not exactly being germane, but it's fun to read about what's possible. So I really don't mind learning about things like the fact that I could, if I chose, sideload apps like Tintin+. And I don't know whether you could put Linux on the Braillenote or no

I haven't logged in for about 6 months. So when it said "invalid name" I thought perhaps the name had been released because of that extended idle period. But based on the fact that the game itself recognized the name as "in use" and the fact that I was able to successfully log into the web portal,

The character already exists, so you can only log it in. You can't create a new character with that name, because it already exists. If you want to reset the character, log in with your email instead, and select the restart option. -dentin Alter Aeon MUD http://alteraeon.com On Tue, Jun 18, 20

Are you certain your notetaker isn't translating a perkins keystroke into something else (like an exclamation mark if you're using the "the" contraction)? Maybe try spelling it out fully, and remember to avoid any capital letters. Your character definitely exists: Player 'coralthewolf', last

No thanks, lol. Not least because I've never heard of Gentoo. I assume it's some kind of os? And sideloading Tintin+ may be easy, but based on messages I've seen on here from you and others it's not just install-and-play. You have to download all kinds of other stuff just to get each mud to fun

The raspberry pi 400 along with a usb sound card and a headset is rather reasonable on amazon prime days. If you did that you'd be playing inside an orca terminal though and if not really used to windows you'd have a learning curve to get through. -- Jude "There are four boxes to be used in d

The mixed-up characters you're talking about are ascii art. Change your client to point to port 3010 and they will go away. If possible, using mush-z is your best option for playing Alter Aeon. On 6/18/2024 11:42, Heather Seaman wrote: Thanks, Jude, I'll try that. Nexus hasn't been updated si
