What makes this MUD different from, say, Alteraeon or Avalon?

Howdy All,

If you are looking for a good game to play on your Linux box, you may want to consider taking a look at Legends of Kallisti. The game is a lot of fun, and the atmosphere is friendly to all. 

for those who are wondering about screen reader support for TinTin++, it does work very well with Orca. Simply install gnome-terminal, which does not pull in all of the gnome dependencies, and use it as your terminal emulator. Of course, console screen readers such as Fenrir or Speakup work exceptionally well with it too. For those using a Mac, the pack will work quite well with the screen reader TDSR.

For the best accessibility, consider installing the tintin++ MUD client and downloading the tintin-kallisti-pack available from github:
https://github.com/hjozwiak/tintin-kallisti-pack
Mac users who use TDSR may want to rename modules/navigation.tin to modules/navigation.bak. Of course quick nav keys will not be available.

For those who want the very latest tintin-kallisti-pack code, checkout the devel branch after downloading:
git checkout devel

If you need help with the pack, simply ask on the game on the advice channel, or connect to the Kallisti Mumble server. For connection instructions, type
help mumble
when connected to the game. Also, feel free to contact me via email if you need assistance.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you on the game!
