At first glance Feralclans.com seems to be an exciting and fun RPG with a vampire/werewolf fantasy theme. There are many tasks to accomplish, weapons to learn, war skills, etc. They have a boot camp which is a great resource for new players to use for help learning the game. However, once you are into the game you quickly realize there isnt much to do. Changes made to the game over the recent years will never allow new players to be high level players like the much older players which will always leave them at a disadvantage. New players will never be able to achieve high trains and will always be left in the dust compared to the older players. Level restrictions and time restrictions do not allow for players to attack whoever they want. While the game is free to play, unless you donate to the game you will also never be able to become one of the big players or even strong players for your level. Donations are not a once a month type buy-in but more of a the more money you have and can dump into the game the bigger and better you will become type. This game is a small community of faithful players which is the only reason it is still around. Content development is lacking so badly that the game has become stagnant. There may be 200 active players but with the newest release on donor options, one being their shout box where players can chat real time, the activity has dropped even more. At times there are only 10 active players on within a 30-minute time frame. The most disappointment aspect of this game is the admin. They have rules but the way they enforce them is very middle school. They run their game/business like a sorority and if they like you then your rule infractions are overlooked. Admin is too emotionally involved in their business and in the people who fund their business to make rational decisions. People are banned either completely or socially for things other players are allowed to do on a daily basis. Suggestion, if you are looking for a great RPG that allows wars both on a group and individual level this game is not for you. Try out other games such as Torn.com, Jaillords.com or League of Angels. If you are looking for a social cease pool run by admin who lead with emotion, then feralclans.com is for you!
Updates to previous review:
1) ******* - Allowed to post gifs of dogs having sex with women (penetration seen) in the Shout Box.
2) ******* - Allowed to keep account after found to have a multi (multi deleted) and no punishment occurred.
3) ******* - Allowed to keep account after found to have multi (multi ******* was put in Torture Chamber)and no punishment occurred. Told admin that the account belonged to his sister-in-law which is a lie.
4) ******* - Allowed to keep account after found to have multi (multi is ******* and was "locked out" and does not show in the torture chamber.) and no punishment occurred.
5) ******* - Allowed to discuss real life, tell people to go collect their government benefits and call people "food stamp whores" but it continued to allow to play with no punishment.
6) *******, *******,1823, and many, many others - Locked out because admin felt they were "out to get them".
7) ******* and ******* - Locked out and told they were not put into the Torture Chamber because that gave them too much "power" and that being locked out they are hoped to be forgotten about.
Feral clans may be "free" to play but you will never be a top player without spending thousands of dollars. The top spots in this game are all fed by real cash.
Feral Clans. Were do I start?
I've been playing that game for about 3 years, and had a lot of fun, met some really cool people. It's labled as a free game, but if you don't put money into it, you'll get no where fast. It's "self labled" as a "M" for Mature Rating. I think this is incorrect, as it should be rated as "D" for all the damned drama!
You have to click on everything, the text based is horrible, the site claims to have a wiki site to help explan the game (more bloody reading and clicking) and then you have to go and do all this damned impossible "crystals to get keys to do more quests to do more crystals to get more keys." I've played for 3 years, and never got off the first level of "keys". I've never known anyone to complete it. You have to pump money into it, to get the "RL items" to help buy your way to get the boosts and such. It's a money train to hell.
I've had to rely on my "clan" to help me with "donor days" to stay premium just to keep up. You have to spend so much time clicking in the game, and if you use "refresh or F5" you're caught by the game, then admins ask you how you're training, and why you're cheating. The game will damage your wrists from all the bloody clicking, so if you've already damage, stay away.! I cannot stress it enough.
The administration regularly goes threw your game mail, and if there is even so much as a mention of anything, including social media, in your mail, its an automatic 30 day ban.
One section of the TOS says its an adult themed game. Which, under their own advicement, not any true rating system. Says that the game is adult based. That they don't advice children to play, and that if anyone under 18 wants to play, they have to have parents permission. Yet, I've seen in the torture chamber, so many that were banned because they were under 18. They encourage people to report underage players. Their statement of getting a parents permission is inaccurate, because if you are under 18, they ban you until the 18th birthday is reached. The admins violate their own TOS regularly, and if you disagree with what they say, they ban you. Always with the ban. It's a tyranical game, that shows favortisim to those that put the most money into the game.
I've watched this game go from a true war game, a battle of wills, stats and determination, to another "we are an adult game that will bend to the will of the whiners and people with the most money"
I was banned from the game, by the admins accusing me of something that I've no prior knowledge of, nor was I asked. I was banned. I believe and feel that this was done, because of my association to other members that had been banned for calling out cheaters to the admins.
I would not recommend this game to anyone. I do not activly seek to destroy any game, not that I have the power or the know how. I have been asked by the administration of the game for my cpu information in the past. I've had problems with spyware, malware and various other virus from the game. I've had trackers pop up un my virus protection from a location in Tx. And when discusing this with the so called coder monkey, that is also an admin, he wanted my cpu information. I said no, and refused to send it in, I was then told I couldn't be helped.
I wonder at this game, and how its self government of 3 people that take advice from those that pay the most, and how the current administration has bullied and lied their way around their own TOS.
I give this game a serious downer.!
This statement is my opinion of the game.
