Does anyone besides me here actually play Furcadia? If you do tell me your names! I'm (duh) Kotig.

*Just ignore the OMG YES....stupid caps lock *beats keyboard on monitor*

I used to, but I gave up on it.

furca.. wha? never heard of it... link please?

Oh...hmm...heard the name before, but never knew what it was.

Do I/ Will I play it? ...I'll have to get back to you on that once I familiarise myself with it more.

*Downloads Game*


[Edit:] *...later...*

Well, I created a Character ("Vuldari" of course), and walked through the introduction. Though I can see the potential in the game, everything I would want to do there, I can allredy do better in the fully 3D, far more customisable world of "Second Life". (Only $9.95 for lifetime access...*wink, wink*)

(See my Avatar <---)

...therefore, though I may pop in from time to time, (since it is free after all) I doubt that I will become a regular there.


[Edit 2:]

What the?! ...Second Life is FREE now?!

"...why those sneaky little..."*growls*...I registered only a few weeks ago and the #$^#$'s charged me $10 for what they are giving out for free now.

...well...anyway...if you like Furcadia, you'll LOVE SL. ...now the only excuse not to get in on it would be having a sucky computer that cant' run it, or a prohibitively slow internet connection.

"...Join me...join the SL side and together we can RULE the internet. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha........."

Oh? Sorry 'bout that Vuldari!

I'm pretty sure they still require a credit/debit card to sign up, though.

Yeah...you do need a Card to sign up, even if they don't charge anything. It's mostly just to verify your identity.

...and don't worry about the charge. It was worth $10 to play that game...that's still less than I spent on Dinner last friday. ...less than a movie, popcorn and a drink. ...less than some "bargain-bin" PC games. ...It's just frustrating ...thats all...

I'd get second life, but again, my computer is el-weako.

yeah, but im going to ask my mother if I could use hers for it, im sure she would be fine

I used to play Furcadia.

Then the non-furs, the burned furs and the $omAwf goons moved in and turned it into a spammer's hellhole.

Yeah, Furcadia is okay. I'd play SL, but 1) My computer is too slow...
and 2) My mum would freak and be all like " No they just want your credit card number to SCAM YOU!"
*sigh* so yeah...

Sorry, I missed that post... I'l whisper you next time your on?

Heh. I get that about almost everything. She even harped on for an hour about my Freeborn headshot submission -- "but you never know what they can do with these editing programs -- they could put your face on pornography and yadda yadda yadda yadda-"

Tell me, why would anyone want to see THIS in pornography?!

No, I don't think anyone would want to see a little broken image icon in pornography. But what's that got to do with anything?

I've managed to get on SL recently, but I can't really find anything interesting to do... am I missing something? I realize it has a lot of potential, what with the fancy scripting capabilities and all, but I can't even find somewhere that a nonpaying user is allowed to play with scripts on.

I don't know... I still play Ultima Online because there is so much to do.... I never have time for a real life anymore (subject to adjustment....)!

I played Furcadia for about 30 minutes... total. It was recommended to me by a good online friend of mine. She didn't inform me that it involved some of the crappiest Ultima Online-esqe graphics in the world. The gameplay was kind of boring and repetitive, and the world looked like a child was playing around with the Windows "Paint" program. On the plus side though, there was a very friendly community. You really can't put a price on tons of people with great attitudes helping you learn a game. I'd still rather play a text-based game than have to deal with graphics that give me a headache. (And I do.)

Sorry for the ressurection, but I thought I might add something.

well. theres always 'second life' now that there is a free version of it.


.. (even though I can't get it to work for some reason.)

Too bad especially since I could make a killing in that game though my 3D modelling skills.

Well, I tried it and found that it wasn't really up my alley.

Writing-rpgs are more of my thing.

I was on there for a few hours. I asked the people who run the site to delete my character. I was bored out of my mind and everyone I came across was outright hostile. a terrible place was my impression. Nothing to do, no games to play, no actual discussions to have. It seemed like the kind of site you only go to with someone else to play around with some graphics and such to make your own private chat area. Nothing for me.

Second Life is actually a very innovative game. Relying on the creativity of the players to create their characters and environments. I have often thought of trying it since I'm a 3D Animation Major, and am always looking for practical uses for my art.

If I were to get that game, I'd create the ENTIRE interior of a starship. That's my idea of fun. Alas, not enough time to do it.

I play sometimes, I download this last week and be on two time. I am "Ona Volk".
