Rediscover WAKFU… in High Def!

As some of you have noticed, whether through our new guide interface or from images in the trailer for our upcoming single-account server, WAKFU in HD is now a reality!


It's a recurring request from the community, and for a while now we've been wanting to upgrade the graphics in WAKFU. As you can imagine, this is a time-consuming project that we've been working on for a while already; we had to reexport every single graphical element in the game (characters, mobs, interactive elements, etc.).

Currently, HD mode is incomplete. We're nowhere near done improving the game environments*. Originally we wanted to wait and reveal the finished product. That said, in light of your excitement when the WAKFU single-account trailer came out, we've decided to release a starting HD pack with the following animated elements: 
  • characters
  • monsters
  • equipment
  • resources
  • interactive elements
  • pets and mounts
Environments will be added in a future update.

With regard to interfaces, we hear your feedback and are aware of the issues raised. Improvements to interfaces will not be included in this HD pack; it's an area we're working on bit by bit, as this project can't be properly completed in one go.

Since images are better than a thousand words:

[h2]HOW DO YOU ENABLE WAKFU HD?[/h2]HD mode is enabled by default!

[h2]ANECDOTE RELATED TO WAKFU HD[/h2]We also wanted to share a little anecdote. When Update 1.74 (Shustuft Crust) came out, one of our NPCs was exported in HD, which wasn't right. This generated a bug ticket that makes us crack up internally, because after forcing the NPC to export in SD and when developing WAKFU HD, the NPC in question was then the only NPC to not appear in HD. Here's a snapshot of the ticket:

Single-Account Server: Register Now!

Finally! Pre-registration is open. And don't underestimate this moment! This period will decide the next part of your adventure…

Why's that? Because when the Ogrest server opens, if the number of pre-registered players rises to the occasion, then you'll all be a winner…

Pre-register by October 22 (11:59 p.m. Paris time), and you'll get 2 free regeneration potions when the server goes live.The more players pre-register, the more gifts you'll score when the Ogrest server opens.

Ogrest Single-Account Packs: Get Early Access!

To accompany this major addition to the WAKFU game, we're releasing 4 packs that all our players will love. Find something for you in one of the packs! These are:

[h2]ADVENTURER PACK[/h2]
Adventure is totally your thing. You go on adventures all day long. You think, sleep, eat, and breathe adven– Yeah, anyway, this pack is for you. It contains:
  • a Unique New Age costume (chameleon)
  • the "Sit on a throne" emote (linked to account)

[h2]HERO PACK[/h2]
Would others describe you as bold, smart, agile, and brave? Look no further – this pack is clearly meant for you. It contains:

*The booster is the same for all three servers. However, it will have a different effect on the single-account server.

You'll notice that three of these packs contain a 48-hour early-access pass. What is this sorcery, you ask? The pass will grant access to the single-account server 2 days before its official launch, i.e. Tuesday, October 31 instead of Thursday, November 2.

It's our way of thanking you for supporting the event when you got a pre-registration pack!

Single-Account FAQ: Your Questions Answered


This FAQ (frequently asked questions) page is designed to present and compile, in a very clear way, the ins and outs of the single-account server known as Ogrest. It may be added to over the next few days. 

[h3]WHAT IS OGREST?[/h3]
  • Ogrest is an international, single-character and single-account server, where heroes and sidekicks are completely deactivated.
  • There are 5 character slots per server – a cap that can be increased up to 18 with the character slot addition service (if you purchased this service before coming to this server, the extra slots will be automatically included).
[h3]WHO CAN ACCESS IT?[/h3]The server is only accessible to players with:
  • a verified account
  • a valid phone number
  • a valid email address
Two accounts can log in from the same IP address only if:
  • the accounts have a confirmed address;
  • they have different confirmed email addresses;
  • they are logged in on different devices;
  • and they have different phone numbers.
[h3]HOW DOES PRE-REGISTRATION WORK?[/h3]The pre-registration period runs from October 5 (5 p.m. Paris time) to October 22 (11:59 p.m.). When pre-registering, you have to include your character's gender, class, and nickname.

Important information:
  • Class can be changed as much as you want up to level 30.
  • The character's gender can be (re)set during customization.
Pre-registered players get 2 free regeneration potions when the server opens. Another important point: Pre-registration numbers will translate to stretch goals.

[h3]What's a stretch goal?[/h3]
This is a tier of pre-registered players to reach in order to unlock prizes. The more of you pre-register, the more free rewards you'll get when the server opens!

[h3]WHAT ABOUT THE SINGLE-ACCOUNT PACKS?[/h3]Four packs of varying contents and prices have been designed to meet all players' needs. A pass offering 2-day early access is included starting with the second pack.

Note that you don't need a pack in order to pre-register.

[h3]EARLY ACCESS?[/h3]
Players who purchase pack 1, 2, 3, or 4 will gain access to the single-account server on October 31. For everyone else, the server will become accessible on November 2 (4 p.m. Paris time).

The early-access mechanic will also allow our team to manage the influx of players and adjust the server load. Even with pre-registration, we think it's worth being extra cautious with server capacity. A 2-day early access period will therefore be beneficial in breaking up the arrival of players.

Also, since WAKFU is a free-to-play game, these packs and the early-access period will help give us a return on our team's investment in this project.

[h3]WILL THE BOOSTER VARY?[/h3]
The Booster is the same for all three servers. However, it will have a different effect on the single-account server.

[h3]WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO GIFTS AND OTHER ITEMS OBTAINED FROM THE SHOP BEFORE THE START OF PRE-REGISTRATION FOR THE OGREST SERVER?[/h3]
Items purchased from the shop and other gifts and compensation obtained prior to pre-registration for the Ogrest server won't be recoverable on the Ogrest server.

Experience potions, loot potions, and harvest potions obtained after the start of pre-registration won't be recoverable when the Ogrest server launches. You'll be able to retrieve them beginning December 2.

[h3]IS THE ACCOUNT ENTITY THE SAME?[/h3]
The following will be retained within Pandora, Rubilax, and Ogrest:
  • number of character slots (not including slots from fusion)
  • number of Haven Bag chest slots
  • number of ability, spell, and equipment pages
The following won't be retained within Pandora, Rubilax, and Ogrest:
  • cosmetics
  • titles
  • emotes
  • profession levels
  • progress
  • kamas, items, etc.
[h3]WHAT ELSE?[/h3]
Community events will coincide with pre-registration and the single-account server launch (rush achievements, contests on social media, sessions with content creators, etc.); we'll have more details soon!
