Furcadia is an online roleplaying game that has been active for over 10 years. It was created in 1997 by four individuals using nicknames to keep their real names private. The game involves players creating animal-like avatar characters called "furres" to explore user-created maps and participate in various activities. There are two radio stations run by volunteer DJs that play music for players. Various volunteer helpers called "Beekins" take on roles like welcoming new players, assisting with map creation, technical support, moderating forums, and teaching classes.
