Is Dofus Only For . . . Idiots?

Contrasting to the title, Dofus Online is actually relatively good. There are lots of servers including the legendary Heroic Server were everyone plays for keeps. (Server is definitely NOT recommended for beginners) and many of the servers are for a specific language so most of the time you don't have to worry about not being able to communicate with your teammates. Assuming you play in a party which is actually recommended because the monsters sure as heck do. Another cool thing is the variety of classes, each with it's own strengths and weaknesses along with greatly varying appearances, which you can later alter with colors and equipment to make a character that is truly 100% all your own.
Bet You Can't Find Me!!!

There is still one MAJOR problem with this game. Sadly Dofus Online is in now way a F2P game. There are two relitivly large areas for free play (The starting tutorial area and the first village you go to) however all the other areas outside that requires a monthly membership fee, similar to Runescape, however unlike Runescape for all intents and purposes the free area is pretty much a Demo that gets pretty boring after level 20+.

As a free player I have to give this game a 4 out of 10 (1 out of 5)

However if I Was playing with the membership this game would get a much higher rating.
