There is an animated series in production called Wakfu the TV Series, but while it features characters types from the MMO Dofus, Wakfu itself is an in-beta MMO that’s based on the world and characters from Dofus.
So, what’s the difference between the two? According to their website, Wakfu will be more of what you love about Dofus — improved graphics, new class spells, more character customization — but with an added dimension to interacting with the environment and the community, including electing players to governorship, and preservation of the forests. If the graphical simplicity of Dofus turns you off, perhaps Wakfu will be more to your liking. Check out the shiny goodness in their trailer.

If there’s one thing I’ve been wondering and is ticking me off , it’s the loot you get for other classes , I’ve played many MMO’s and in almost every MMO it’s the same.
Varendiel gains [ Arcane boots of the hare ]
Woo! I finally found gear! .. but wait , it’s not for my warrior class, it’s for an mage.
No problem , magicians need clothing too right? So after slaughtering some more monsters.
Varendiel gains [Electric Staff of Vanity]
Woohoo! More booty, but crap it’s mage equipment again? Crap.
So I thought I just had bad luck, and logged out and made a mage.
Alright, let the gear drop baby!
Voltburn kills fire Imp.
Voltburn gains [ Valor platemail of the Agile ]
Holy Chestnuts! Are they freaking serious!?
And it continued like that, no matter what class you took, the loot you find is always the opposite of your class.

Since a week ago a new MMORPG went into closed beta , called Dekaron, being the curiosity itself I signed up right-away.
So after the signup sequence I logged into the game and got the good ol’ choose your class screen in front of me. They give you a choice out of 6 classes.
The Azure Knight, which is the swords/axe class in the game and is able to use dual or single wield weapons with fast stylish movements. The Sagita Hunter is like the name implies the archer class and is able to learn bow mastery with arrow skills and some healing skills. The Vicious Summoner is like it says , the summon type and can use spells to summon creatures and demons, besides that he has a secondary ranged spells. The Segnale is the Healer/Debuffer type which can use healing ,debuff and curse spells and can summon 2-3 creatures or objects.The Bagi Warrior is a all around barbarian type of guy which can use heavy melee skills and some boost buffs and as last we have the Incar Magician
The combat style in Derakon is nice and fast with smooth animations “ Extreme Action “ as they selfs like to call it , further than that it pretty much works like the rest of the MMORPG’s, after gaining a level you increase your stats and your skills with skill points , which you can invest into Passive , Mastery and Support, you will have to buy mastery skill scrolls to activate them , done that you can add your points to mastery.
My first impression after playing an hour and reaching level 6 is that’s an interesting game , note that’s not anything special and looks like any other MMORG that’s F2P.
But with a skill tree that’s very similar to that of World of Warcraft together with the smooth combat system and Okay graphics it’s a good to go game , but unfortunely every rose has a thorn , namely that because it’s free every kind of people join up , I’m not saying that everyone is a unsocialized chimp , well I am but that’s not my point. The thing is that people with names of popular anime will be running around , and most people ignore you when you ask them politely for help.
But putting that aside It’s thumbs up from me and will stick around for some time.

Apperently there’s a new MMOG coming soon after 5 years in the making , called My Freaky Creatures.
There’s not so much information given free about it , but after reading some articles about it it’s going to be some mix of Pokemon and Battle beasts and Medabots, which let’s you put together your own creature you purchased, on a flash drive in store and each flash drive contains 2 or 3 creatures to unlock, together with 20 random parts and powers to pick from.
And aside from that there’s a Tamagotchi/Monster Rancher-like thing to it ,choosing a location for your creature and let it live in a cave, dungeon or wherever , and feed , give toys and other things to keep him happy.
There are 5 types of attacks , physical, energy, poison, fire, and ice. Once both initial attacks are chosen, you can choose to employ a Power, which modifies your chosen attack. If, for example, you see that your opponent’s attack is energy-based, you might choose to use your energy shield Power to mitigate its effects. So, the initial attack is blind, the secondary attack is with full knowledge of what’s coming at you. Once both of these attacks have been chosen, they’re played out with amusing and charming animations.

Seriously , I made a character on a role-playing server to prevent communication with undeveloped apes with an IQ of half a tomato, so I’m just minding my own level 2 business, doing my first quest and killing some wolfs then I came across a fellow player , and I immediately had a bad feeling.
And right I was , bam! – Player challenged you to a duel-. I mean come’ on , first of all what are you? Level 2, maybe 4,5? You don’t have any skills , it’s like watching babies fight over a cookie and even if you are 4 or 5 why are you challenging a level 2 player?
And second , it is an role-playing server meaning to role-play meaning to get into the character you play , act and talk like them , so for the love of all that is holy please be civil and ask a player if he wants to duel , which is a rhetorical question to begin with. Do not throw any bypassing player a challenge request without asking , I mean it’s like punching someone in the face and then asking if they want a fight.
