Dofus' Game Designer Lichen wanted to reassure Dofus Players on its blog concerning Wakfu, Ankama's upcoming MMORPG : Dofus is in its "Golden Age" and won't be left aside!

Read the full message in this news!

There has been a considerable backlash from the DOFUS community in regards to the attention put on Wakfu. Many players have expressed their fears that DOFUS would be put on the side to leave way. That’s just about as far from the truth as one could get! DOFUS is in its golden age, and we aren’t leaving the ship.

There have never been so many players on DOFUS as there are now and server populations are constantly on the rise, as is the number of subscriptions which has in fact never stopped increasing since the game’s launch. We are continuing to develop the game, to enrich it and to improve it. We will continue to do so when Wakfu comes on stream.

Two distinct teams work on DOFUS and Wakfu, and the two projects evolve in parallel and separately. The two teams work together, sharing ideas, concepts and technology in order that each advance on a given project might benefit Ankama’s other activities.

It is not our aim to entice all players from DOFUS to Wakfu; we don’t want to ‘sacrifice’ one project for another. We want to push DOFUS and Wakfu forward in parallel. They are two different games and they have two distinct communities.

It is not in our interest to have players abandon DOFUS in favour of Wakfu. We want all players to have the opportunity to play whichever game they like for as long as they like.
In any case, we don’t intent to ‘force’ players to change from one game to the other.

We still have so many plans for DOFUS and we haven’t the least intention of letting it fall by the wayside.

DOFUS will continue to grow, as will the services that accompany the game. Our Support team continues to grow, we are continuing to develop new tools to facilitate our assistance of the players, moderation of the game and the game’s performance.

On top of all this, we’re preparing to bring the game’s entire physical architecture up to date by migrating to new servers, renewing our hardware and software etc.

All these improvements will be carried out over several months since we wish to be able to welcome new players on board while continuing with our efforts to advance the gaming conditions and your gaming experience.

We will use this devblog in future to leave you in no doubt that the Golden age of DOFUS is far from at a close
