furries

[capetorial]

ok, i recently thought about furries, planeshift and furcadia at the same time and i thought "hmm.."  and i had this question about planeshift - is it meant to be furry?  did anyone else make this connection?  did any devs?  i realise how 'flammable' this topic is so here's what i quite literally beg of those against furries - please dont flame.  thank you.  im simply curious of these questions

P.S. though im a friend of furries and the furry community, im not a member

Yeah, fur-friendly-non-furry here as well (though I toy with anthropomorphic characters and shapeshifters with anthropomorphic forms in my writing and drawing sometimes).

I never thought PS was specifically furry, but many MMO's have a race or two that will most indefinitely attract some furries. I also never really made much of a connection between it and Furcadia (because really, Furc. Is. Horrifying.) - but when I saw the Enkis I was immediately like, "Heh, furries."

I'm curious to see where this goes, though - and to see whether or not PS has a relatively large furry fanbase (considering there are only an estimated 100K furries worldwide or something - may have changed since I was last informed - "large" could be almost any number)

really?  youve heard 100k?  ive heard only 20k.  though i havent put much research into it.  im glad i didnt get flamed.  i know most lg. fursites have a userbase of 'bout 5-6k, 'least from what i've seen.

im a long-time PS player as well, i played back when there was nothing to do except walk around trying to find tria drop spawns - no mobs to kill, 1 npc, unattackable -- never made the furry // PS connection 'til today.

y'know, im not big on furcadia (just not my thing) but its not all X.  in fact, most of it is just normal chatting, i'd say it's only about 40% X area population.

thank you for your post, i desperately wanna see where this goes, too

WELL THAT WAS A SOLID ANSWER.  lol.  im not questioning you, you're obviously a booming voice around here but i wanna know - what makes you so solid w/ your answer?  was this topic discussed prior?

There is only one fur-bearing race.

Planeshift is made to roleplay ... so within its number of enkidukai characters I wouldn't be suprised to find several furries RPing them. Saying the game was made for them would be a bit egoistic though.

Settings Leader here, definitely NOT made for furries.

I mean that in the sense of the game nor the eniki race was made with furries in mind.

What you do in the privacy of you /groups or /tells is not my concern so long as you respect all local/state/federal/international laws and the player policy.

The game is intended as a family friendly, ad free, fee free, mmorpg.

Use it in good health.
