Game Information

Dofus is an MMORPG by the French company Ankama Studios. The main aim of the game is to locate and collect all the Dofus, but there are many other interactive components, mainly fighting Monsters, other players via PvP, completing various Quests and Achievements, and training Professions.
Dofus requires a lot of strategy, planning, management, social skills, and this Wikia. And don't forget patience... lots and lots of patience...

==Status==
Dofus started as a closed beta test in which over 80,000 people participated. Then it passed into an open beta phase. Finally, on September 1st, 2005, the game passed into the subscription phase, which is expected to continue for the entire lifespan of the game.
After the release, Dofus was known as Dofus 1 with updates changing the version number to 1.01, 1.02, etc. up until 1.29. Dofus 1.29 was the last version before the release of Dofus 2, which was a full revamp of the game engine and its visuals that used Adobe Air, rather than just Adobe Flash. On 2009-12-02, Dofus 2 has been released with a new server called Zatoishwan, other Servers have been transferred from Dofus 1.29 to Dofus 2 in the coming months, along with other new ones opening afterwards.
Two Dofus 1.29 Servers still remained accessible, at first only for the Spanish community as the computers in their country weren't good enough to run Dofus 2, but they were since opened to everyone due to high demand. On 2019-09-24, Dofus 1.29 had a QoL update, along with several new Servers being opened. The game version was bumped to Dofus 1.30, as well as the classic version of the game started being called Dofus Retro instead of just Dofus 1.29 from then.
A new version of Dofus dubbed "Dofus Unity" is currently in pre-production. As the name suggests the new game will be based on the Unity engine. (Videos: 2019, 2020 Devblogs: 2020)
Dofus 3.0, sometimes called Dofus Unity, was released on 03/12/2024. The older 2.0 servers were shutdown, with new servers for both multiaccount and monoaccount gameplay opening up the same day. The 2.0 servers were upgraded to Unity, replacing the old Adobe Air framework and were reopened on 04/12/2024.
