Several Ideas, humanoids..dreams..and those sorts... Options

[Doal]

Through the past time i have been playing i have met many MANY characters to dont stay in the bounderies of being feline..canine..you know..
they instead say they are Drows, Humans, Elfs and Vampires
so why not ADD a more huminoid race?

it would also be cool to have the possibility to customize your characters outfit without having to have a patch in a dream to do it.... like a custom avatar... ^^


and ooo one more thing

a diffrent Res screen size, like i have 1024x768 and the furcadia screen is small to me..perhaps make is bigger? ir resizible or something...maybe make the screen like IRC, tabs on the top to flip through characters..for people with alts aswell

Well those are pretty good ideas you have there. Just a few little things
The human avatar idea is good, but it's not exactly upholding the idea of furres, and they might have to remane it fur/humancadia
The character outfit idea is good as well, but I can see a few problems. It will be abused-some people will make huge outfits that fill up an entire screen and nobody will know where they're going. As well, the outfits would have to be checked so there aren't "innapropriate themes" As well, it would cause a lot of lag, having each furre have a different outfit.
As for the larger screens, I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned before, but I really like the idea of tabs at the top.
Just a Michi-brand name rant!

WELL

If Furcadia adds a more humonoid race then it's not Furcdia of FURRES anymore, is it?

To customize a character, you make a patch, that simple. Otherwise, I don't think it's possible Mr. Lazy

A different screen size is not a good idea, mainly because if you want to be under many alts you can and see most of them. Plus you can if you adjust your screen settings. Also, you can be under 4 alts at once and see the full of their screen on the current setting, so why have an alt tab? Also, about the alt tab, BAD idea 'cause you can't see what others are typing under your alt so you have to flip through them all and type as fast as possible. Mr. Lazy (Again), just go under more than one alt at once, it's much easier, you should try it

A final thing, ALL of these have been suggested before in this forum, so I just wasted my time, but I hope you understand where you are wrong in them all. Flip through the suggestions area of this forum and you'll see they are all there at one point or another, some even posted by me maybe.

Hope this helps you see NO, NO, NO (Sorry if i'm rude, truelly )

[Doal]

well thats all fine in -Your- opinion

btw if you ever knew how IRC works then youd see the tabs wouldnt be a bad idea

IRC is basicly an internet chatroom, i used to be on it allot for another game..it you got the right clients you would have tabs, for diffrent channles..the names would be on the tabs, and they would change color

lets say the regular name would be in black, but when someone talks it changes to green, and if someone says somthing along with your name or part of your name it would change to red

thats what i ment

I personally think the tabs are a great idea.

The human avatar and custom items ideas have been brought up many times before, and for various logical reasons, have been turned down. I think there's been discussion of the furc. Beta having a resizable window? Not 100% sure though.

And Garen, there was really no need to be so rude.

[Southside Coleman]

I like the different windows for alts.

If they changed it to tabs, I'd hope the option for different windows would remain availible for all of us stubborn people.




As for the people playing humans and elves... I think they'd get less mistakes made about their character's species if they just made it more CLEAR in the desc.

[Guest_Neran_*]

Tabs would be nice...

[Bonkers]

Tab me baby

[Youlanda]

I like to place my Furcadia windows in a particular way on my screen(s). Four Furcadia windows at once; one in each corner of each screen. If you line it up correctly and are using a high enough resolution you can read what is being said on all at the same time. This is excellent for running roleplay plots.

Though I wouldn't be opposed to tabs provided I didn't lose the ability to do things the way I do them now.

As for Drow, Elves, Humans and so on...
No! It goes against the Furcadia theme.

Quoth the first sentence of the first paragraph of the first page of Furcadia.com:

Furcadia is the magical world where the animals have learned to walk upon two legs and speak.

[Deathdog3000]

Okie dokie. For the human issue, sure adding HUMANS would be against the theme... but what about monkeys? You can make em look a slight bit more human then usual because they're furres and the tails would be so much fun. ^-^

[Guest_Garen_*]

Sorry 'bout my other post, although I have seen one tiny problem for the tabs.

When you look at it, on an average Furcadian day over 2000 furres are online. Around 300-700 are on the main maps. And in private dreams the rest dwell. Here's my point:

If they flashed when someone talked under them, it would flash when a furre talked. That means that it would flash very fast and almost never stop, and i'm under around 10 alts (and others are too) so whenever we want to move under our alts we'd have to keep clicking through the tabs to move each one of 'em.

But, simply, the flashing thing could be solved. Have a manager for it where you input names so when they talk and you can see them, it flashes. That might work out and make it easier to handle.

Well, Humans can obviously be added.

Why not add monkeys?  They're still considered furres.

This is exactly my point, as long as they arn't done cartoony like the rabbits I could see them being a rather good race with the elongated tails and suchl.

What about the feral chars (devolved) ?
The tabs would be a great if they were optional.  

[Youlanda]

For Ferals:

Furcadia is the magical world where the animals have learned to walk upon two legs and speak.

In a world where animals (mammals) have learned to walk and talk on two legs there ARE no unevolved "ferals".

If I wanted to play a human I'd go play Lineage, Ragnarok Online or any other MMORPG.

Most people don't view primates (apes, chimps, etc) as "furry" because they are so closely related to human as it is. It would most likely be a choice for people that don't want to go with the theme...

There are plenty of other online games on the Internet that have human characters. Don't ruin Furcadia's flavor by implementing things that break the theme.

Furcadia has two avatar themes.
Anthropomorphic Mammals.
Anthropomorphic Mystics.

Unfortunately... the theme has already been broken by the eagle option with the Gryffe avatar... but that is supposed to be a "feature" not an official avatar and the eagle is also not a mammal.

Not all primates look like humans at all, there are small ones, lemurs, spider monkeys, baboons. Any of them would be a really nice addon to Furcadia, specially with their bushy tails.

Tabs = Fusterating
Human elf/drow = The kitterwing work good for that (ears/hair)

[Run]

First off, I am all for the tabs. I think that's a wonderful idea as long as they were an option you could turn off and still have multiple screens open like us current Alt-masters do.

Second, I actually would like to see humans added, but then we'll become a secondlife wannabe trashbag. If anything, humans would hopefully be a digo if added, but humans would be a total contradictory to Furcadia.

Third, Customizable avatars aren't needed on the public map. And if they were allowed, major abuse. Bad idea. You want custom avvies, do it in your own dream.

I'm sorry if I was a bit rude here, but custom avvies and humans would kinda be negative additions to Furcadia. Not bad ideas, but there would be a bit of conflict. I absolutley love the tabs idea though!

Hey hey, no reason to revive a four-year-old thread o.O.
