Description and Comments
Furcadia is a free fantasy MMORPG
that focuses on social interaction and
imagination. In fact, the makers of Furcadia call
it a MMOSG or Massively Multiplayer Online Social
Game. The basic concept is that animals can walk
around like humans and speak to each other. Do not
expect heavy action and combat because the game is
more about interacting with others not killing
them. In the place of combat you will find
player-created content and heavy doses of
roleplaying. While many action MMOs have been axed
over the past couple of years, Furcadia has been
able to carve out a nice little niche in the
industry and thrive.
Key Features
- Player created
content such as art, games, and various
software programs.
- Low system
requirements.
- Extremely
active community with contests, festivals, and
raffles.
- Very small
download.
- Heavy emphasis
on roleplaying.

Comment: There is so much to do. Name it and it
can be done. Friendly people and great concept.
Awesome RP and chat alike. Built for a variety of
people whether kids, teens, or adults. Don't
tell me you got bored or there was nothing to do.
People who say that probably didn't move anywhere!
You have to get OFF your arriving map and go to AI
where there are over 200 options on where you go.
They have a fairly reliable help source, and even
a welcome committee. Awesome game that I have been playing for
4 years.

Comment: Furcadia is the ideal Roleplay Medium for
those who choose to create their own content. The
software allows you to create your own worlds,
called "dreams" and script them using
the easy to understand "DragonScript
Editor." This allows users to program their
own game rules, mechanics, etc (More features for
this are in the works).
Characters are by default represented by different
animals, both real and fantasy. The game also allows for artwork patches
to be uploaded with your "dreams" and
you may make characters Humans.
Furcadia is designed as a Socially Interactive
game and allows for Persona (Free-Form) play or
Strict (Regular Rules/Mechs) Roleplay. Furcadia
does have its own Continuity, but players are
free to design their own and share it with others
as mentioned above.
This is one of the most diverse Roleplay engines
out there as it allows for any type and genre of
Roleplay, though it will require some work on the
part of at least one player to set up their own
game.

Comment: Don't be fooled by the bad start.
Furcadia is an excellent example of an MMOSG. It
is easy
to make your own mini-games like murder mystery
games. The
possibilities are fully limitless as you can add your own content. I
have
made a few dreams myself. Even though this
might not appeal to most MMORPG gamers, the REAL
roleplayers can find themselves at home here. I
rate it a nine.

Comment: I went on this game for an hour and got
bored within 6 seconds. There is nothing to do.
Everywhere I went everyone was asleep and not
speaking. The graphics were also terrible. I
couldn't use the tutorial and all the help people
were offline. I found this game to be rubbish!

Comment: This is basically a role playing chat
room with bad graphics and an added "dream
making" feature. The sounds are as bad as the
graphics. If you like Role Playing, go for it.
Otherwise, run for your life!
