Looks like I missed the original post this was in, just saw this snippet of it
quoted in a reply to it.
The predecessor to Furcadia was DragonSpires, and yes, Furcadia was built by
taking that engine and adding to it and changing some things.
Hopefully we'll be getting a lot bigger than 100 players soon, when we put out
the next major upgrade - and I'll probably have to arrange for a more powerful
server machine soon. I'm back on the project full-time now, with the fellow
that programmed the first implementation of TCP/IP (and later founded PSInet) as
a minority investor in the company.
