Accessibility?

[Yummri]

I know many of you are probably sick of hearing me ask for things by now. But I've been talking to a lot of my friends and they are interested in playing Arm. But there is a lot of concern about accessibility here. I'm going to list a couple of things and solutions. These are really common concerns that are stopping some of the people I've spoken to from playing.

1. The sdesc problem of being very spammy.
S. I've mentioned this before and have given solutions. Even if this is a pref for the blind only it would still be a great help and is very important.

2. The health prompt every line.
s. This could be fixed with a preference to turn the prompt off entirely. Coupled with a command that allows us to check health whenever we need to.IE typing hp shows health, mv movement and sp stun. This takes away a line of spam and lets us check as and when we need to. alternatively the preference could make it so the prompt only shows when there is a change to the status. Ie loss of health.

If these things were addressed and fixed then the game would see an increase in players and a growth in experience and fun for everyone. Please note that scripting for clients and the get used to it mentality doesn't work and isn't going to attract players or retain them. A few people I know are trying but they are struggling. They've experienced RPTs with everyone's sdesc and it just can't be done for them and I struggle nearly as much.

Accessibility is important, and we have heard your suggestions.  There is some we can do about things, and others we are unwilling or unable to do.  We have plans to incorporate some of your ideas.  Thanks for your suggestions and your evangelism.

Note that 'brief prompt' went in today, which is one of your suggestions.  We will be tweaking it a bit over the next few days to make sure everything is ok with it.
