Dofus is a tactical turn-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by Ankama Games, a French computer game manufacturer. Originally released solely in French, it has since been translated into many other languages. The game includes both pay-to-play accounts offering the full experience and free-to-play accounts offering a more limited amount of content. Its success has led to the marketing of spin-off products, such as books, art, comics and a movie released in 2016. It has also led to the development of two continuations: Dofus Arena, released at the beginning of 2006, which is an alternative "tournament" version of Dofus; and Wakfu, a sequel to Dofus. The game has attracted over 40 million players worldwide and is especially well known in France.

Do you play any of the Ankama games?

I played Dofus maybe 06 or 07 till like 2012. I was FTP almost that entire time and managed to get a Sad to level 50 in the FTP limits. I killed a lot of the weird little rock guys until I figured out there was a room full of skeleton monsters. But what was cool was back then you could run to the PTP areas so I ran around the entire map. I'd see the Dark Vlad mob in the wild and explore Bonta and Brakmar. Good times.

I've played dofus on and off since early 2007 and it's a pleasure to see it reached outside of France to so many players. It's also the first time I've heard the classes names prononced in English and it was hilarious. If you didn't know most classes names come from reversed french words that loosely relate to the background of each class. As for the absence of interaction you've experienced it's likely because most of the players playing retro are old players that already have friends and communities and likely don't use the in-game chat to meet new people. I hope by now you found some friends to tag in. As for meeting players in the dofus forums, I advise you don't, unless you enjoy room temperature iq conversations. Cheers from France

I'm a french person who used to play quite a lot of Dofus and little bit of Wakfu but was way too young to have known Dofus 1. I haven't really played it even in its release, but back when it was shutdown, it was on version 1.29. Now it's on 1.41, and afaik while they were pretty relunctant in adding new content at the start of Dofus Retro, they opened up more afterwards and they are trying to add actual new content.

From what I read once the game ports over to unity a lot more will be possible.

@@VagrantVideos Definitely for 2.X, but I don't think any port was planned for Dofus Retro/1.X. I thought 2.X had already transitionned to HTML5 in the meantime before Unity, but turns out it's still running on Flash!

The early updates of Dofus 2 were the best. Post Kolizeum update, most PvP roleplaying enthusiasts eventually quit the game.

@Sanzeh 8 ай бұрын

They do add new content now. They added 2 new dungeons + 2 new dofus and a new pve arena called "gladiatrooll" recently. And even if there is less content than 2.0, the game back then was focused a lot on farming rare drops like dofus.

@VagrantVideos 8 ай бұрын

I read about that but I also read conflicting reports. The devs said it was only added because it was originally cut content? So not sure what’s true there.

@XJ9LoL 6 ай бұрын

yeah nothing really big and new. the only new content are the temporis, which arent the main game. the cut content was just a way to introduce the 2 new dofus in the game that retro didnt have yet. retro should get more updates, but meh@@VagrantVideos

Dofus was one of my favorite games ever, and I've played MANY games. The thing that made me stop playing Dofus (around a decade ago, maybe more) was the power leveling, nobody would try to explore anymore because there was nothing to be discovered, so it wasn't worth doing that at all. People would just grab a wisdom set and pay people to power level you to 200, so the game started to get boring. Years later I tried to go back, but the new Dofus is simply not fun at all for me. In the old Dofus, each class had its specific characteristics, they were all really original and exclusive. Now, every class does a little bit of everything, it felt like they blended. I forced myself to play for a few days but it was just not fun at all.

I have been on retro for the past 2 years, English community is strong and in my opinion all the players are better with treatment with eachother, i would say over 80% are veteran players.

@onlygodplaystv343 8 ай бұрын

Great video! i would like to add that the English community's on dofus retro are there and strong. the guilds are mostly international guilds (anyone is accepted but guild chat must be in English) Im not super sure about other servers anymore but on the server (Bounce) (solo account server only) there are a few international guilds (Hope' / Regin) for lower levels and newer players (anyone is accepted) and there is also (Interference) for the more end game international players (level 190+ with good gear) so there is a place for everyone's play style and expectations.

@osahazel 8 ай бұрын

When playing on the monoserver, it's important to engage and interact with other players, it's more interesting than playing solo. Soloplay is easy, but if you play either Sadida or Cra, the problem arises when you want to farm a dungeon. There are many players and bots, I abandoned this version due to this problem.

Ive played dofus retro about 4 months ago , im an old dofus 2.0 player and reached lvl 100 in dofus Retro. Its still a good game, but dofus retro is very grindy where i stopped. Also, 80% of the playerbase is french and its hard to find any english players. But its still a cool game, i hope they would bring back an old 2.0 classic server for those who missed the good old 2.0 times.

I loved this game as a kid. I played retro for a while and hearing the music again was like i sniffed a huge dose of nostalgia, but nothing is better than the friends I made during those days. The game itself is nice, but being one of the niche English speakers it was very hard to make friends or groups, but when you do find them we stick like glue, kinda have too because french players can be assholes. I've met my fair share of people agroeing me even when i'm not part of Bonta or Brakmar just because they know my guild is English speaking. Is that fully true? I don't know, when I ask my guild, that's what they say with a few of them being bilingual to french. The game is fully solo with most of the players actively using multiple accounts. Even the solo servers some people made duo or trio accounts using vpn to bipass the solo requirement. It's a good game overall, but it's also just nostalgia. Ruined by mid maxers.

The answer is: "No, you should not! A franchise, that was once in-browser viable (till 2018) and still advertises it as such 5-6 years after its discontinuation, is obviously far behind in reacting to it's audience. Ankama is literally having a grand stupor!

Love Dofus, but never play it for a long period of time, every other year I have a urge and play for 2 months or so and leave it; The lack of people communicating is due to, everyone on mid-end game has 30 accounts and plays a full team of multibox The french community can be okay but it is not unusual for them to ignore you or just be straight up racist The Brazilian community in the game exists but is small, I would guess it is bigger then the american/english speaking one tho. All in all, fun game, grindy as fuck, and the engine is super dated, it is a 2-5 second load screen every 10 seconds simulator with loads of pop ups with stuff taking ages to load for each map. People who never played it, I would recommend joining in for the seasonal servers they have every year or so, called temporis, its usually a different spin on things and a more lively community due to being a seasonal server.
