Feral Heart

I agree with your mate center opinion, Devy, but a lot of these guys are kids and don't comprehend 'love'. Hmm, a twerk center..... I'd join it.   jk, not really.... maybe. 100% agree with your adoption center opinions.
Crow, I've never seen one of those things, but I hope I never come across one in my travels.

I didn't include these in my first post, but here are some other centers I've seen: Neon Center, Party Center, Even a Satanic Center (don't ask, trust me, you don't wanna know)

You know what, these centers, though annoying chatlog-filler-uppers, are better than Mate/Pup beggars in my opinion. I'd rather have a circle of Bachelors/Bachelorettes than creeps stalking you and screaming "LETS MAKE PUPS!" or "BE MY MOTHER! *goes inside of* GIVE BIRTH TO ME!"

If you ever set foot in Bonfire, chances are you've seen the many centers that are set up there. The most popular (Based on what I've seen and heard about), are Mate, Adoption, and Fighting. These centers have a huge range of opinions, from the "Ugh, you desperate people making these centers, you need a life." to the "It seems like a great idea, to get people to rp with quickly and easily." and I'm curious as to where the majority of people's opinions lay.
To get this started, my opinions:

Mate Centers- These are probably the ones I disagree with the most. It's not that I dislike them, or the concept, and don't get me wrong, I'm NO hater, but I just think some of it is a bit off. I think it's fun for younger players to find short term people to rp with and start packs, but it could start drama (cheating, infidelity, etc.). For serious rp's I think you should mate with people you know and trust. That's all for the MC's.

Adoption Centers- These, I don't see anything wrong with. Similarly to the mate centers, I think it's good for short term roleplay (or maybe long term if both are experienced roleplayers), and an easy way to start a virtual family. I prefer not to participate in these, as most of my characters are on the younger side, and have no interest of a mate or pups/cubs. The only thing about these are the UNBORNS. *dramatic music* These guys kinda freak me out. 

Fighting Centers- Lastly, the fighting centers. These, I will admit, I have participated in a few of these before (out of extreme boredom). Depending on the crowd, they can be a fun, enjoyable way to practice combat rp and learn new techniques, or a gang of annoying powerplayers. Unfortunately, it mostly turns out with powerplayers. I think that these are a good concept, but not the way that most people do it. I think that it should be done away from public areas, or in a private/group chat, considering that some people get a tad gory with their attacks. Also, it could be setting an example for younger players to encourage combat. I also think they should be a bit more organized, but that's not really relevant right now. There's still plenty of alternative ways to engage in active combat, or spar with friends.

Well, that's my perspective. I'm curious to hear yours.

Preach it, Crow. I hear you. This hasn't happened to me yet on FH, since I now choose mates from people I know well, thanks to the following story, but it has happened on another game that I used to play (AJ). He wans't cheating or anything, but he got really annoying after a while, so I ended it, and he was fine with it at first. The next day when I logged on, he started attacking my character. ToT
But yeah, people need to stop doing this. It's a VIRTUAL CHARACTER, and chances are, you'd end up with a real life "mate" (I'm using this word out of context XD) and things would get messed up with the in game mate, so I personally think it SHOULD be part time. I mean, unless your one of those catfish people who try to meet other gamers in real life. But yeah.
Interesting topic, Crow, lots of people can probably relate to this.

Beautiful characters, Berry. Two is so cute! <3

I think it sounds like a great idea! Not only would it show off your wisdom and experience with the game, but it could also help with imposters. I've seen a few fake Red's around, and if it showed the forum rank, it could really help with all that. I know I'd definitely wear my newbie rank with pride. XD
