Don't even bother with it. You can't be any species you want, customization is seriously limited (especially in clothing), and it's pretty much just a MUCK with graphics. Not worth the time if you ask me.

Something bigger will not come along. The furry genre is not popular enough to warrant a larger Massively Multi-Player Online Game. In fact, most of the internets hates furries (and I can understand why).
As for ratings, can you please explain your question a little more?
What Big-Red told you was not exactly correct and accurate information, but instead the assumptions of someone who does not use Furcadia. (His user information talks about Halo, what would he know?)
Big Red stated: You can't be any species you want, customization is seriously limited (especially in clothing).
False. The truth is: Furcadia offers a handfull of generic base avatars of various types and a text area where you describe things. You also get a portrait space where you can do a 95x95 icon of your character. Your imagination and artistic skill are the limit.
The reason for clothing limitations comes from Furcadia being a sprite based game, where adding too many species or too many outfits would bloat the game to epic proportion. Each of those little avatars is 20 frames of artwork, there's over 1000 frames of Furcadia avatar artwork, I know, I customize them all the time.
In your own personal map, you can edit the avatars to look however you want. Speaking of customization, one of the things people do on Furcadia is make thier own maps (create) and start communities (socialize/roleplay/play games). Furcadia allows users to completely customize almost every part of their personal map, from wall tiles, floor tiles, avatars, portraits, items, interface, sounds, palettes, etc. It has a plain English scripting language and just added the betatesting of a database language that interfaces with the scipting language.
Big Red stated: it's pretty much just a MUCK with graphics
False: According to Wikipedia (last time I checked), Furcadia is a Massively Multi-Player Online Social Game, the same type of game that also includes The Sims Online and Second Life. Furcadia came first.
There are a lot of things you can do in Furcadia that cannot be done on a Mud, such as actually having people present, Most normal people in this day and age have no interest in a text based MUD. Players in Furcadia can make your own visual maps, add your own artwork, create their own worlds for free.
Furcadia is a world creation tool. For free I can make my own little world, upload it for all to see, and start a community, even one that is restrictive on who is let in. If I wanted to do the same in Second Life, I'd be paying thousands of dollars out of my pocket (and last time I checked, Second Life's 3d engine sucks cock to the point of unusability in comparison to real 3d programs).
Furcadia is not for everyone. Some people do not want to use their imaginations and create things and would rather just play their mindless shoot-em-up games. Those that want to create, world weave, roleplay, socialize, and make games within games my find Furcadia interesting.
So where is the furry online game that Big Red created so I can compare and contrast? |

In my opinion furcadia is great, if you're just there for roleplaying or meeting others around the world then you may enjoy it. You can be any species you want because what the character looks like is based on a description you give him or her. Its only that the selection of avatar species are limited, say for instance you had a skunk character. Be a squirrel with black fur and white markings and have a description that describes that character's appearance. Furcadia is probably the only actual furrie based mmorpg game out there that i'm aware of. Give it a chance.

I personally love Furcadia, its a good MMORPG, its true the sprites are limited in clothing but people use their imagianations to creat something more.
If you like to RP, use your imagianation to make it more better for you, you can create your own 'dream' to how you like and download heaps of other patches to make it how you like. But some people just don't like it because they prefer the whole visual thing, which is stupid..if you have a good imagianation, and you like to meet and RP with all sorts of people, it is a good game to get started on.

Rating as in PG/PG13/M16/R/etc.? Most of Furcadia is rated a general Teen+ (13 and up), and "content is subject to players' whims". There's at least one main map rated E ('Everyone', with younger kids in mind), a main map for M16 stuff (mostly for violence-oriented stuff), and one main Adult map (for 18+, for sex-oriented stuff). If you're worried about getting in trouble for being in an M16 or 18+ area, it's actually pretty easy to avoid those maps. When you enter maps, it tells you their rating, and if it's an M16 or Adult map, it'll usually give you a warning in case you don't wanna or shouldn't be there. The map where you start out in, Naia Green, is the best place to hang out in if you're worried about any of that. I believe that's the main map that's rated E. You can also set the rating for your own dream maps. The default is Teen+. Here's the link to Furcadia's official page with its standards/ratings: http://www.furcadia.com/standards/
