Fury (sometimes capitalised; FURY) is a player versus player (PvP) massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Auran and released on October 16, 2007.

Fury's focus on PvP combat differentiates it from traditional RPGs that center around player versus environment (PvE) content against non-player characters. However, like most RPGs, Fury uses collectible equipment, skills, and a ranking mechanism for players. Fury uses a method of matching equally ranked players from across the world in PvP matches.

Fury further differentiates itself from traditional RPGs by making many of its spells and abilities activate instantly and have no cooldown. The pace of gameplay thus tends to be faster than PvP combat in traditional RPGs, with tactical possibilities that are difficult or impossible in the latter. For example, spell-casters in Fury are generally not frozen in place when casting a spell, allowing them to retreat and avoid obstacles that might otherwise lock them in.

[edit] In the media

Fury was mentioned during the "Gamers News" segment on Good Game^{[citation needed]}. It was noted that it would be the first MMORPG being entirely developed by an Australian game development team.
