Dofus

After a 2 month break, I'm back on Dofus. It's this really cool little MMO I found. I say little because it's not like your typical Everquest II/World of Warcraft MMO. For starters, the graphics are 2D sprites, in an anime style. For seconds, the whole thing is in Flash. For thirds, the combat is turned based.

And yet, it's a really cool game. I like it because the aforementioned items keep most of the really super duper hard core MMO crazies away. Whats left are mostly casual players that enjoy playing an MMO, but don't necessarily want to team up with 39 other people for 12 hours at a time in order to get good loot. The largest group you'll ever need is 8 and most dungeons and critter hunts take no more than an hour or two... maybe 3 or 4, tops.

Add to that the fact that it's a French game, which means that there are people playing from all around the world. For the most part, this is a good thing. It's fun to meet people from all over. Every once and a while you'll have people speakin gibberish (IE some language other than English or German, for me) on the English servers, but not too much.

If you're interested, I'll post the link here. I'm on the Rosal server, one of the 3 English servers. In game, I'm Bahdunkadunk or Ghan-Buri-Ghan.
