Which Character should I put the package on?

• The name you want for your Group Channel or Dream. Set your Rah Character to be you, as you're the Group Owner.
• Any time you're having problems with the web interface, make sure you log out of furcadia.com and then log back in! This resets your name identification in the system.

I just got a new Package, what should I do?

• Make sure you log out of furcadia.com and then log back in! This resets your name identification in the system. Any time you're having problems with the web interface, make sure you log out first.

What happened to registered groups?

• New ones have been disabled for now and are not supported at this time. They will be back when they're fixed. Any currently active Registered Groups have been grandfathered in but are not supported.
