'''''Fury''''' (sometimes capitalised; '''''FURY''''') is a defunct [[player versus player]] (PvP) [[massively multiplayer online role-playing game]] (MMORPG) developed by [[Auran]]. It was released on [[October 16]], [[2007]] and shut down on [[7 August]], [[2008]]. This puts the life of the game at a little less than 10 months.


It is a short walk away from [[Walthamstow Central station]], but this is not considered an official interchange.
Fury's focus on PvP combat differentiates it from traditional RPGs that center around [[player versus environment]] (PvE) content against [[non-player character]]s. 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 that does not always work.


The typical service from the station is one train every 30 minutes in each direction increasing to every 20 minutes during peak hours.
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. For example, spell-casters in Fury are sometimes not frozen in place when casting a spell, allowing them to retreat and avoid obstacles that might otherwise lock them in.


A plan to build a footpath to the nearby Central station has so far not been implemented.

Walthamstow Queens Road is a station on the Gospel Oak to Barking line, in Zone 3, and is located between Blackhorse Road and Leyton Midland Road. It was opened as "Walthamstow" on 9 July 1894 and was renamed on 1 May 1968. The renaming is, however, misleading as the station is in Edinburgh Road, not Queens Road.

It is a short walk away from Walthamstow Central station, but this is not considered an official interchange.

The typical service from the station is one train every 30 minutes in each direction increasing to every 20 minutes during peak hours.

A plan to build a footpath to the nearby Central station has so far not been implemented.
