What can I say about Furcadia? Well, it's a little chat room with graphics where you can choose to be a
feline,
canine,
musteline,
rodent,
equine, or
lapine furre. Later you can buy a
Phoenix,
Dragon, one of three different kinds of
wings, or a personal portrait for your little furre to have, but a lot of players don't bother. You pick your colors, make a
description, choose a name, and then are set loose on the unsuspecting
denizens of Furcadia.
It is made by Dragon's Eye Productions and can be found at www.furcadia.com.
There are
players who run around helping furres and get a
special badge. They are called either Beekins or 'People who are way too into this game'.
It has
eight main maps. Meovanni; a mostly non
roleplay map, New
Haven; for newbies and people who like it there, Vinca; the central map, where you can head to any of the others, Allegria Island; where people can post their own maps, called '
dreams', Imaginarium; a roleplay map where people can post their dreams, Acropolis; a socializing map where people can post dreams, and
Challenges; where you can do little activities and run
mazes and such.
Some people actually try to roleplay. I'm not one of them, so I can't say how good the roleplay is on Furc. Personally, I tend to stay in Meovanni and talk about
things. Some players... ok, a lot of players... are
idiots. However, there is an
ignore feature. Now that I think about it, I sort of want an
EDB for Furcadia. Yeah, eat that guy! He's ANNOYING!
You are provided with a dream
editor and dragonspeak editor to make your own dreams. Dragonspeak is like the
code that runs the dream. You can do a whole lot of things with it, from color-changing floors to
slot machines to a switch that moves furres when you walk into it.
There are also ways to make
bots, furres who just stand there and respond to
commands, with a botmaker program. I made one once, but it's long gone and I remember nothing about it so I can't help you there.
Some players make very cool dreams where you can roleplay in
Hogwarts, or play
murder mystery games. Some of them, however, make dreams just so they'll have a private place to '
yiff', or have cyber-sex.
Furcadia isn't too bad, but it's not for
people who expect to be able to
chop things up. So feel free to go check it out, but
beware of
freaks.
