Title: Opinions on Mate or Adoption Centers?
Post by: Hooli on April 20, 2015, 10:11:02 am

Mate and/or Adoption Centers can get out of control sometimes and yeah they can be rather annoying, but I have to admit, some of them are actually pretty chill. My friend and I had actually created Mate and Adoption Centers and have been sitting out at popular places like the Cape Portal and Stone Bridge and I have to say the amount of hate or negativity we get from the FH community is kind of overwhelming..
Honestly I enjoy the idea of Mate and Adoption Centers and am happy that these guys want to help out the part of the community that like to find their characters mates or parents or pups/kits/cubs without taking the time to role play it out, and I praise them for wanting to donate their time into helping these people find that special someone or a new beloved parent or child to call their own.

So, I have a question.
What's your opinion on Centers?

Adoption - Adoption center is not necessarily great, but in fact good to start off the game if your having trouble finding friends. Not only that, but a great find role playing partners if you're interested. Adoption have ways to find the pup your looking for and enjoy while you can. I personally love the adoption center, but never thought about joining as pup. I however had a character who is a father to one cup. Then again, it can be annoying. I hate when they keep calling you dad, mom. Ugh. Kids. XD

Mate Center - Eh, I guess I can say it's alright. I never joined apart nor have I hosted it. I just personally love to watch them and their chaotic ways, especially when they write in CAPS. Bonfire and their ways. XD Anyway. Mate center is alright. I like it. You have a chance to roleplay with the person who's your mate and have a better experience. Like me; I love a happy ending. X3

Mate Centers:
Cannot take them seriously anymore, they're just....
Too ridiculous not to chuckle at once in a while.

Adoption Centers:
Where all the 2edgy4me pups go to get their fifth parents.

Mate Centre:
Sometimes it can be for those annoying mate beggars, but it can also be used to truly find that special someone. I found my mate at the mate centre, we ended up forming a pack and creating our family. It was quite the achievement! (seeing as the MC rarely works for more than five mins before they fight or realise the differences) I've also formed tonnes of friends by just being there.

Adoption centre:
Same as the MC, there are the family beggars. Who cry out for families and end up leaving them because of a fight or not liking them. But sometimes it works well, I know a friend who has adopted four pups and its worked out very well. The first pup she adopted is now a teen!.

I believe both of them have pro's and con's just like anything else, but there is no harm in having either of them

Mate Center: They're helpful, I just hate that they're in caps and they're colorful all the time.

Adoption Center: Color wise and name wise, here too. But I prefer the Adoption Center, honestly.

Haha.
I agree both centres are very very amusing to watch.

I'll have to be honest. Observing Mate Centers and Adoption Centers is pretty funny! Sometimes I even join in with a temporary character that I delete soon after uvu

But I have to admit that they both have bright and hurtful colors, and the use of caps is a little annoying.

I admit that when I first joined, I used to participate in Adoption Centers and Mate Centers quite often. I don't at all anymore, but I don't hate ACs and MCs. Both are a great way of meeting new people and new friends, and when I was new this helped me a lot to learn about the maps, how to use things, and learning how to roleplay. They also give people who are bored something to do. The only thing I don't like, as mentioned before, is how most are either very neon-colored and will spam the chat with caps. '

But overall, I think ACs and MCs are a cute idea and are very helpful, especially to newer players. I don't see why people need to hate on them so much as long as they aren't spamming the chat and such.

I have no ill will against any of them. In fact, I have to say they have the most courage than anyone else on the game. [Other than our staff of course], but these guys go into a crowded map, that has a crap ton of chat spam due to the range of local and how many tons of people fill it, and basically help out people who are seeking for mates or parents. It's 100x's better than hearing the CONSTANT begging of people. Where they even spam the chat WORSE than the centers do. Plus, had the centers not been 'invented' [for a lack of better words] then the people who want nothing to do with mate begging would be targeted, it may have even pushed people to flood to other maps.

So when a mate/adoption center comes to fluorite. I have to back them up, they're just trying to do what they do in Bonfire, or heck, they may even be just chilling out.
I get so irritated at the people who toss around hurtful comments towards them, no wonder why they rarely get out of Bonfire.

whenever i see a mate center it usually consists of people who aren't very mature so i've never really made any friends in there.

plus, every fh couple i've met was founded in a role-play, not through the center

it's useful for people who don't want to role-play in groups or something to find a mate

then the adoption center, it's kind of the same deal, but when i first joined FH i went there all the time and we had this pretty awesome RP that just stemmed off of "pls adopt me"

so i guess it depends on which one you go to, and who's there at what time, because i've had some pretty bad experiences, but i had that one cool experience too.

I'm fine with them, as long as they don't spam the chat.

I don't see a problem with them, personally.

Adoption centres are usually ignored these days, at least from what I've seen. They seem to have lost their popularity. I guess they can be fun for it you just want to kick off a short, non-serious roleplay, although I do remember once dragging my entire pride with me from Fluorite to Bonfire so my character (the pride's queen) and her mate (the pride's king) could have cubs. I believe it was sometime back in 2012, so I'm not sure how well they work now, but the cubs stayed active in the group and were actually decent roleplayers.

Mate centres are amusing, to say the least. I've joined them, I've hosted them, I still do. Not that I'd ever actually take a mate from there or even really try to do one, but they're hilarious to watch and incredibly dumb at times. Like, jaw dropping "are you kidding me" dumb. Getting involved somehow makes it even more so. If you don't like them, block them. When I was younger I adored them because they gave me a chance to make friends and find an RP, and as a new player that was hard.

So what I'm saying is they're great for the new players and the kids, or anyone who just wants a fun, funny roleplay that probably won't last more than an hour.

Adoption Center- I think this is great especially for people who are in a RP and are looking for pups/cubs. Its also kinda like a mini community. I remember a few years ago I would just enjoy sitting with other in the adoption center and we would just talk and laugh and have a good time.
Mate Center- Though, when I first joined in 2011 on my original account, I participated in this quit often, but now I'm not such a big fan. I feel like people judge you too much, though it can also be fun and you can all laugh.
All in all, I don't really mind either. As long as it stays under control and doesn't get too crazy then I don't see the problem with it.

I honestly enjoy the sight of Mate and Adoption centers. They bring a smile to my face at times when I see them.

I know at times though the constant possible caps that would happen bother me, but other than that it is interesting to see them. You never know the kind of creative characters will join in the centers to find a mate or parent. I honestly was thinking of making a breed and going to one to see what would happen. See if anyone would wish to mate an oddity or want to adopt one.

Though it really pains me when I see negativity and people being rude to one another. Especially if they are in MC or AC. On this game everyone has a right to do what makes them happiest if it is within rule guidelines, but there are others who simply don't really care, and are still rude cause they want something their way or are just being a bit of a butt fluff. So I honestly feel badly for some of the members who join hose places. Cause it could possibly make them feel self-conscious about them joining due to all the negativity.

So..I honestly wouldn't mind seeing those centers running about being happy. Though if things get too negative in one map I think it might be better for them to run off into another more quiet and happy map. So that it's peaceful and the members could do what they wish in their little events. Though sadly with how big Feral Heart's community is I would see that rather difficult. So whever they go honestly I hope they continue to have their fun.
