| - FurNation Worlds is (as of /August 2006) a group of eight estate sims in Second Life. Primarily maintained by Nexxus Ambassador and other members of FurNation, it contains public areas for furs to socialize, two sandboxes for building, a Skymall that allow vendors to sell their wares and Club Fur, a virtual nightclub. The land is rated "mature", allowing adult content, including pose balls that simulate sexual activities. Because these islands are currently one of the focal points for furry activity in Second Life, lag on the islands can be fairly high. There were attempts to decrease lag caused by the numerous buildings on the two islands by reducing the size of the textures being used as much as possible, without sacrificing too much quality. Initially much of the funds for expansion of the island came from referral and dwell time bonuses. These have since dried up, and so alternative forms of income were and are being explored. Island tier fees are reportedly covered half by rental fees (e.g. L$350/786 sq. m with 350 primitives allowed) and Skymall income, and half by donations. The FurNation Worlds sims were offline 5-6 April 2006 due to issues with billing sims out of order, as well as a bit of a shakeup of funding from the loss of Developer's Incentive.
