I can't believe they're even listing Furcadia AT ALL on this place--
or maybe what I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE is that it has THAT HIGH a user rating! Furcadia isn't a GAME; it's a graphical chatroom at best and an okay environment to run games IN. As in, freeform RP -or- Dungeons and Dragons or other tabletop dice-rollers. OTHERWISE, furcadia is a tool for interpreting something YOU want to build, like a castle or a town or even your own home; and the architectural capabilities of furcadia are REALLY LOW. The downsides of furc are thus: there is NO system, there is NO organizatoin, there are NO RULES except 'don't grief'. The downsides reduce furcadia to a clean slate of ZEROness. But there are upsides; furcadia is an environment that covers a social and cultural niche. If you have no imagination, furcadia will mean nothing to you. If you have no patience, furcadia will mean nothing to you. If you have no creativity, furcadia will mean nothing to you. If you have no maturity, furcadia will mean nothing to you. If you don't like furries, Furcadia will mean even LESS to you >.< If you ARE patient, mature, imaginative, and creative, furcadia is a method by which one may give their fantasies a form, tell a story, or make friends. But it is a very undeveloped environment. Giving it a try won't hurt, but... ...you might not get much from it. |

You get what you pay for people if you can't have an open mind to new things then I highly suggest that you go back and live under the rocks in which you came. To enjoy Furcadia one must come with an open mind one that does not simply classify things into there lowest common denominator like most new people that set foot inside Furcadia. Sure it is just a glorified chat room but is that not what most MMORPGs are just chat room that happens to have a game attached to it. Please with all do respect I if I am wrong on this then please correct the statement that all mmorpgs are just chat rooms that happen to have games attached to them. <a href="http://www.armorgames.com/games/scribble.html"><img src="http://www.jmtb02.com/scribble/45686396.jpg" width="300" height="100" border="0"></img></a> |

No, you are wrong. An mmorpg is a GAME with chat channels to talk to your teammates or others while you are playing the game. Otherwise, everyone would not care about the game as long as they could chat. If you like Furcadia, more power to you. But do not expect the majority of the people here to even consider Furcadia as nothing more than a chatting room for perverts and juveniles. how the hell can you have adult rooms with characters that are animals unless there is something fundamentally wrong with you to begin with? (This statement was toward the creators of the game and those who engage in the adult chat rooms, not you specifically,S1lentSam). An mmorpg is a Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing GAME, not a mmorpc or Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Chatroom. There's MSN and Yahoo for that |

I agree with both of you. S1lent was right to say that it is REQUIRED for someone to have an open mind and an active imagination to effectively appreciate furcadia. I would be MORE comfortable with agreeing with him, though, if he had slightly better grammar and spelling >.> and Zorvan was right to say that MMOs are GAMES with chat channels tagged on. I'm a little skeptical from personal experience about its pervert exclusivity though. I've found through my time there that Furcadia is composed roughly of 40% perverts, 35% people who tolerate the perverts, 15% people who are oblivious, and 10% griefers who revel in mocking the perverts, framing the tolerants as perverts, and chasing around the clueless ones with horror stories of the "75%" pervert population. However, anthropomorphic charicters are as old as time itself. As demonized as they are by CSI and MTV and just about every 'normal' person out there, we are infested inextricably with FURRIES in our culture even without people who get a hard-on from it. Micky mouse? Furry. Bugs Bunny? Furry. Chester Cheetah? Furry. Felix the Cat? Furry. And those are the modern ones. Let's not forget nearly EVERY prehistoric pantheon. Egypt, India, Africa, Native America. Furcadia is just a modern day extension onto it, and it's only a tiny sliver of the massive multi-million-participant mindset/community/sometimes-lifestyle that is the Furry Fandom. (And this was all in response to "how the hell can you have adult rooms with characters that are animals unless there is something fundumentally wrong with you to begin with?" assertion) However, I agree that furcadia is NOT an MMORPG. |

yes u need pateince but it is a MMORPG
u just have to learn the ropes and enjoy the virtual furries as they are. Very helpful people you will find to help you learn how to get around. Chat room, yes... mostly but there are visual virtial reality places that you can build. Kinda like Worlds Chat ..sorta... and with furries |

Originally posted by jesuriah Oh, you're quite wrong there, the term "furry" is normally used to determine art in which people draw themselves and others as anthromorphic animals, furries are as likely to show you perverted things as manga drawers are (and indeed, what hentai is to manga, yiffy is to furries) |

true bout the horrible community i was bored once and thought hey why not some spots are so dead it was a virtual ghost town they had a mcdonalds and there was only one person there and they worked the drivethough and they sat there doing nuthing there was a comman to hocnk the horn i probadly honked about 20-50 times till i got a responce out of them and this was all it was "???" literally me and my friend went to another place and we got yelled at for followign rules it was a RP place and we RP'ed and well they weren't happy with the many funny jokes they have no sence of humor. so yeah i also searched the map to see where the entire comunity was and guess where i found them in the adult sections. sad truely sad. and yes i deleted it the verry next 5 mintutes i started. |

Sorry, but I am not going to agree with Zorvan. As for people's comments of how unworthy Furcadia is to be on this list, keywords in MMORPG: Roleplaying Game. There is nothing in there that says it must have a leveling system or programmed in quests to do all day... One could even argue that none of the other games on this list are worthy, since there's aboslutely little to no serious roleplaying in most of those games! As for the 5 minutes then gone moment, to really feel and experience all the aspects in Furcadia, one most spend at least a few days on it. It is sad, but true, that the best roleplaying parts of the game are hard to come by, especially if they are without perversion. Before I listen to any negative comment that someone has to say about Furcadia, they have to have absolutely no generalizations in their argument - and that is where Zorvan (sorry to pick you out), and most others, are at fault.

I have used Furcadia for the past 5 years. Off and on while playing other MMOs and games of course. How ever. I have found no MMO that is more suitable for RPing than this game. That's the sad but true part. Sure it has barely any thing out of the RPing factor. I love my games like WoW where there is action, PVP, leveling up and the like. But after I get that fix, some times I crave for an RP. Furcadia is the one to satisfy that craving. Not to mention it is free and with modifiable worlds to suit your RP. A balance of every thing never goes wrong and until you can show me a game that has every thing. Don't disregard Furcadia as unworthy when rarely any other MMO caters to Role Players as well as this game.

I used to like this chatroom actually for a lil bit back in 2006, but there was no buddy list, so I couldn't keep in touch with the friends I made in Furcadia that I wanted to keep in touch with. Also, I personally think that only fur***'s are the only ones who play this game a lot now. |

I used to play Furcadia all the time it auctally influenced somewhat of me being a furry. What do I like about this game over others games? It's auctally takes you ,and throws you in your own world to build whatever your mind wants too. A lot of the people running to this forum saying it sucks are probaly the younger age group of critics who are trying to basically say "YER GRAPHK SUC GT SHINE" ,and a lot of Furcadia players will pretty much say no. Why? Cause our game is too make our own world and not have all of you little kids come screaming like banshies trying to kill every little animal you come across just to complete some quest.
As for your comment in front stating how you see it....
If you have no imagination, why the hell are you playing roleplay games or mmorpg's for that matter? If you have no creativity, don't play video games or learn to fricking imagine..... If you have no patience, go catfishing and try to spend two hours waiting for a bite.... If your not mature, don't even play games cause I don't need twelve year old pre-puberty boys screaming at the top of their lungs. If you don't like furries, thats how you roll ,and I don't care. Just don't come into my setting and try to change things.
If you have all things fine, you should be able to play this game ,and not worry about the shiny little colors. If you don't like it, don't bitch. If you like it, cool play some more I hope to see you sometime.
Also in the factors your posting in all caps I'm quite sure at this point your most likly a little boy who is upset that this game isn't like WoW. If thats the case, you shouldn't be sitting on these forums only to be a troll to other players who respect Furcadia for it's roleplaying and social factors.
Also, yes I am a furry.... |
