Dofus Opens New Heroic Server

Everyone’s favorite isometric, anime-style, environmentally-conscious, hippy, French, massively multiplayer strategy-RPG — Dofus — is launching a new Heroic server with a new rule-set today. The server introduces permanent death for all characters — “for the first time in online role-playing game history,” says the press release, although we think Blizzard might have something to say about that. (Diablo II famously featured a Hardcore permanent-death mode, and was playable online.) In addition to losing your character forever if you die, your opponents can loot all your items. To ease the pain, developer Ankama has ensured that leveling up your character and professions is much faster under the Heroic rules. The Cemetery of Heroes will provide a daily-updated worldwide ranking system to immortalize dead Dofus heroes. There’s only one Heroic Dofus Kamas currency, so the fight to survive the longest is open to players from all over the world.
