Site is gimped atm, can't click on register.
Site works fine for me. Signed up for the beta, this game really looks nice.
for me as well signed up worked fine can't wait to play it
yea yea go dofus
I usually hate this type of game but this game looks pretty cool. It reminds me of One Piece and Hunter x Hunter in a way for some reason.
It should have started by now, nothing to see on the site.
EDIT: Actually I found this from yesterday:
18/07/2005 The open beta test will start tomorrow!
Are you ready for this event? Did you have a look on the DOFUS community website to choose your characters? Did you invite your friends? To be the first to discover Amakna, get ready ! Tomorrow at 12:00 GMT+00 the open beta test will start...

way too slow, I was falling asleep... and when you a join a fight people always ask you to skip your turn because they want all the exp, the interface is confusing... I moved 3 spaces then I never got to move again, despite that orange dial thing going around and giving me movement points.
I was forced to skip over and over, cause I couldnt do anything
Just on the border of your waking mind
There lies another time
Where darkness and light are one,
And as you tread the halls of sanity,
You feel so glad to be unable to go beyond.

I'm greatly enjoying the combat. This game has surprised me so far.
The game actaully requires skill.like a lvl 4 can beat a lvl 7 if they have good strategy.this game is so awsome.
This game is rather frustrating yet enjoyably addictive in some wierd way. Tradeskills are what bother me the most, you can have one tradeskill or resource job until you reach lvl 30 in the job then you can select another. Wich means that in order to be selfsufficient you need to juggle multiple toons. I have a miner,lumberjack,bow carver and soon to be a hammer smith. Yet after all this time of gathering resources to make weapons I realize that you dont actually get dmg from the weapons to add to your spells. Wich is rather anyoing and Im about to give this game up. After this playsession hehe :P
Well I tested Dofus for about 4 hours now...
The Background Graphics are real sweet, and the Char Design is nice too...
but tbh,thats it...
- the crafting system is the worst I haver ever experienced in an mmorpg(to learn mining you have to get 120 fishlegs, 1500 purple snailfeet, 37 mint sheeps fom..or something like this)
- the chars are too small and crappy drawn(looks like an VC-20 Emulator)
- the strategic fighting system is slow and unhandy
- the quest and riddles are unlogic
- there are no shops for weapons or armors in the game, so you have to find someone who sells something or craft yourself(nearly impossible with this crafting system)
Best you can do, is to avoid this "game" and dont waste your HD-Space(even this 50MB are 50MB to much)
Well Rumbanuss, first of all I would like to point out that you shouldnt go telling everyone "Best you can do, is to avoid this "game" and dont waste your HD-Space(even this 50MB are 50MB to much)" when its a personal opinion, and youve only played 4 hours.
BUT I will comment on your thoughts anyways.
the crafting system is the worst I haver ever experienced in an mmorpg(to learn mining you have to get 120 fishlegs, 1500 purple snailfeet, 37 mint sheeps fom..or something like this)
I have to agree with you there, they are lacking on the quest side of things. Everything is "collect hundreds of these, and a few of these" and it does get rather boring. The Actual crafting SYSTEM is rather fun, and I like it.
the chars are too small and crappy drawn(looks like an VC-20 Emulator)
Yes, the characters are small... but do you even realize how amazing the characters are for FLASH PLAYER?
the strategic fighting system is slow and unhandy
Obviously you arent a Heroes of Might and Magic, or any other turn based strategy fan. I actually love their take on the battle system, and have waited long and hard for someone to make a worthwhile battle system. Think about it, the system takes STRATEGY not just a big sword and a bunch of stat points. Thinking while battling has been left out of many of the "big" mmos for a while now.
the quest and riddles are unlogic
I think your english is unlogic. And frankly, what do you expect from a non-english based MMO? I'm amazed that you find this weird. Obviously you dont play the mmo market very much
there are no shops for weapons or armors in the game, so you have to find someone who sells something or craft yourself(nearly impossible with this crafting system)
or you could do it the old fashioned way, and find monster drops... but I have to agree, there arent many vendors, and they are very spread out. Still, the portals later game are very helpful in getting to vendors and such as you need to.
-----
Best I can say is that you need to browse the mmo market a bit more and you will see most of your comments are "unlogic" and that you really need to get a grip on reality.
Good day
Dear theanimedude
Sorry to ruin your lil fantasy about me, but I played alot Internet Games of all kind since 1998 starting with Ultima Online(I dont want to post every single title now,but I'm an Powergamer and have no real life)

You are right, I only played Dofus for 4 hours and I dont like Heroes of Might and Magic...but this doesn't make the chargraphics looks better and the turned based fights faster.(btw.When I dont play an Mmorpg I love to play old SNES or RPG Maker Games, with mostly turned based fights and way better looking graphics than "Dofus")
When I want to craft in an game, I want to craft and gather resources. I dont want to fight some thousand of Mobs just to get the skill of gathering resources(I guess everyone can imagine how long it takes, with this slow turn based battle system)
* "Yes, the characters are small... but do you even realize how amazing the characters are for FLASH PLAYER?"
When I take a look at other flash games I see mostly bigger and better animated Chars(even when I play on my old NES I see bigger,better looking and smoother animated chars)
Maybe you are right and I dont understand some quests because my "english is unlogic"...maybe its because i'm frensh so I don't understand some riddles in this game.(And yes: I tried the english and the french Version.)
I can really imagine you waited long and hard for an good strategic battle mmorpg, but I guess you shouldn't have WAITED, but better really SEARCHED the mmo market for an good one. (Using Google.com can be an wonderful experience)
If someone try to tell me, "Dofus" is an good strategic battle mmo...I can tell, who really "lost the grip on reallity"
I only repeat:
Best you can do, is to avoid this "game" and dont waste your HD-Space(even this 50MB are 50MB to much)

Have a nice day
i am truly disappointed with this game =(
aint bad., pretty nice game
aint bad., pretty nice game
I really like the look of cartoons but there doesn't seem to be any meat behind this game. Does anyone really like what they see?
It has the look of a children's book. A little too childish to suit me. IMO
