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.
