Okay folks, help a fellow out here! I'm on the hunt for a new MUD to get into since the ones I generally play are either really low on population or really low on anything of substance happening despite having plenty of people around.
Apologies in advance for anything formatting, I’m on mobile.
Specifically today I'm looking for new fantasy muds. I'm not all that experienced with many muds so I'm probably not going to be a whole lot of help with asking for what I want in terms of using the proper lingo or explaining mechanics things, but I'll do my best.
The one necessity is that it has to be screenreader friendly. Even better if there are soundpacks available.
My favourite fantasy mud is Akanbar. I really don't know how to explain the playstyle of that game, but if anybody here has or does play it that's the sort I'm most used to. Always happy to adapt to new styles since Akanbar's is fairly simple, but it is the one that makes most sense to me.
RP is the main reason I play muds because they're the sorts of games that really let me get into my character's head, motivations, personality, etc. The game probably won't hold me if it's grinding or combat for the sake of grinding or combat, particularly since combat is usually a little harder for me being vision impaired. I'm okay with both RP enforced and RP encouraged playstyles.
I'm okay with PVP existing if it's avoidable/regulated, but as I mentioned earlier a game where that is the main focus probably won't hold my interest.
I've never been a fan of drop inventory on log-out or death systems. I can't say what games now since this was quite a few years back, but that has instantly driven me away from trying games. Can probably add permadeath to that "hate" list as well honestly.
Paid features/subscriptions/donations aren’t an issue since I've voluntarily put money into muds before if I'm particularly enjoying them.
Since I know someone will suggest it, I have tried to play Alter Aeon once or twice but it never seemed to hook me.
Thanks all for any suggestions!
