Furcadia: Now going 10

Ten years is five years short of well-aged wine, 15 years short of a Silver Anniversary wedding, and eight years too long for couples to stay “engaged”. So, if a decade isn’t right for any of these commitments, what’s it worth?

For Felorin and Talzhemir, the guys who launched MMOSPG Furcadia, ten years is just how long the game’s been online. Launched back on December 16, 1996, Furcadia‘s been a favorite stop for animal-lovers who just want a quiet place online to hang out, with nary the complications of quests or PvP‘ing. And for first-time readers wondering just how many people dig this sort of quiet living, here’s a population snippet: The game currently hosts 60,000 subscribers.

Now, in connection with this healthy population and the game’s 10th year online, Dragon’s Eye Productions is announcing a heap of activities that subscribers can expect when they go online. Along with the events, players can also look forward to another month-long prom: A limited ed kiwi avatar. Community members, consider this their “Merry Christmas” to you.
