Furcadia has a lot of promise to it, and could be quite enjoyable under the right circumstances; however these circumstances are often difficult to create (at least in my experience). I played this game for a couple of months before finally leaving, so I belive myself to be a little more eligible to comment than those who deleted it straight away.
Firstly, I'll clarify -- Furcadia is NOT an action game. The only real action here is walking around and sitting. It is a chat-based MMORPG. This is fine in itself, but makes for a bit of a boring time while waiting for someone to post.
Yes, the music was terrible; yes, controls were limited; yes, the graphics weren't top of the line. While this may be a drawback for those who are used to high-definition graphics etc. , it makes the game more accessible to people whose computers may not have the necessary firepower to generate higher-resolution games. There was still enough to create your own unique character - customisation was surprisingly diverse. This low res. also makes it easier for people creating 'dreams': unique, entirely user-created worlds. While again one is graphically limited, it's quite amazing to see what people are capable of. You can make some pretty cool shit if you know how, though I wasn't able to get the hang of it myself.
The core of this game is community based, however, and this seems to me to be it's downfall. Most 'child-safe' areas are either deserted, full of 133T speakers ,or full of people who ignore your existance entirely. The majority of the furcadian population are in the 'Adult' area, where the dark underbelly of Furcadia arises - furries, surprisingly enough. And I mean REAL furries, not just those who think animal-people are cute.
There were a few good aspects to this area; lots of people, WAY less 'childish' atmosphere for sure, and frankly no-holds-barred when it comes to anything, which is a curse unto itself. While this opens up your options for role-play, it also leaves you open to torrents of abuse or spam. Thank the lord for the 'ignore' command. If you have a female character, beware; even if you make her butt-fugly with the emotional range of a brick wall, prepare to be e-raped. Constantly. If you have a male character; prepare to be ignored by the rest of the population. This is probably why people with male alts resort to erape - sheer boredom.
And don't think it stops there! The place is crawling with fetishists of every kind. If you have the guts, look up "The Rabbit Hole" (bad pun, I know). You would simply be AMAZED, is all I can say. Now, it's alright for people to have fetishes, but please - keep it in the bedroom.
Not to say that everyone there is bad, though. I believe I've met...about 5 people who I would consider friendly (although, 3 of them did try to rape me beforehand). It's possible to make good friends and have a rich and rewarding role-play in this game, you just have to be persistant and meet people who share your interests.
Soooo...yes. This MMORPG has a lot of potential under the right conditions. Just...damn, it's scary. I'm surprised is hasn't been sued by angry mothers for taking their kids' e-virginity or something. *shudder*
