- Only in the Astrub area (which is a rather large part of the map, considering what other 'free' games give you compared to member only areas). Outside of Astrub region you can only move around and send private messages to other players. To gain full access to Dofus you need a subscription (6.90 USD a month). For a full list of subscriber benefits, visit the [1] page on the official Dofus site. Only the makers of Dofus can answer this question with absolute certainty, but we are willing to guess that it has something to do with the desires of the game creators to buy food and pay their rent. It is their job, yes? No computer game is totally free. Someone has to pay the costs somewhere down the line or the game wouldn't be available. All games have to pay for their servers, the people who create them, the people who keep them updated, etc, etc. Some use shops, some use subscriptions, some try to sell their software and updates, some use advertising, some have incredibly rich creators who can spend all their money on your entertainment (we don't know of any games like this, but it's possible there's one out there somewhere!), and some use a combination of these methods. Dofus has chosen subscriptons. But cheer up! At least there is a nice area with some fun things to do that you can play around in forever and ever and never pay a dime - aside from the electric bill. In this world, you pay for what you get. If you pay nothing, you shouldn't expect to be waited on hand and foot. If you want to play a game with quality, someone has to pay for it. Keep in mind that many people have already paid to play Dofus, and if the game were made completely free tomorrow, they would all be very angry that they had been tricked into paying for something that was going to be free anyway. Dofus was originally programmed to be a French game. The developers are all French and their English is limited. However, they are doing their best to correct as many errors as they can - and you can help! If you find a typographic error, either send in a ticket on the Dofus support website, or post to the Official Dofus Forums in the Typographical Errors and Spelling Mistakes forum. (When you're hunting for typos, keep in mind that Ankama Games tends to use European spelling patterns so words like "colour" and "centre" are not misspelled.) Some of the English-speaking players have volunteered to help by proofreading, in order to save Ankama some time and because they like the game well enough to want to help the creators make it better. For the actual translation, they hired a full-time accredited translator. Let us suggest a few things you might enjoy. If you have already completed all the Astrub Quests, you could get an Alignment. Alignments offer another series of quests and allows you to aggress other players for more Player Versus Player interaction. There are also many Dungeons to conquer and loot. Or you could check out all the Areas that you haven't been able to reach until now. May we suggest Moon Island or Wabbit Island? Most guilds have a minimum requirement of sorts (Usually level), don't waste time asking them all.

- This is Seal Box's FAQ (Frequently asked Questions). See also: Game Information, Technical Support.
- A helpful FAQ about DarkOrbit, an online browser game from Bigpoint. Q. What do I do? A. Left click to fly your ship, earn experience points by shooting Alien with various weapons. Collect boxes that are full of rewards and also collect cargo that is dropped from destroyed enemies. Q. Why am I losing honor points, or why is my honor negative? A. This usually means you are taking other people's cargo from their kills, most of the time you'll be attacked by your own company if you steal cargo. Q. What is the fastest way to earn Credits? A. A great article: How to Make Money explains this in further detail. Q. What is the fastest way to earn Uridium? A. The most efficient way to earn uridium is by purchasing it with real money. To do this, go to the Uridium page, then choose how much you would like to buy. The free way of doing so would be to hunt Alien, complete Quests, or collect many Bonus Boxes. Q. Who are my allies and enemies? A. Player's names in blue are your allies (in your company) while player's names in red are your enemies (players in a different company.) Someone's name in green indicates they are a member of your clan. Q. What are Jackpot Dollars for? A. There is a Jackpot Battle every month, and if you are the last one left on the battle map, then you win however much you have in Jackpot Dollars. Q. How do I get Hit-Points (HP) back? A. By purchasing a repair robot which repairs your ship to full health. To do so, you click the CPU button, then click the repair bot. This will slowly heal your HP to full. You will not be able to repair if you are moving, firing, or being fired upon. Changing configurations, settings, or occasional resets on the server will stop your repair. Q. What are honor points for? A. Well, the more honor points you have the more your raw material (Ore) sells for, and it also makes you look good. This also helps you increase your rank which is the miltary style badge on the left side of your name. Q. How do I join a clan? A. On the main page, click Clan, then click on the clan list, find a clan to apply to, then write a brief summary why you would want to join (optional) and your application is sent to the clan leader; who is the one to accept or decline. It costs 50,000 credits to apply to a clan. Q. What do I do when my cargo is full, or where do I go to get rid of it? A. On your home map (base, which would be either 1-1, 2-1, or 3-1, click the two arrows that face each other that say 'sell resources', then sell whatever material you would like to. Q. How do I get my ship to go faster? A. Purchase speed generators from 'Generators' in the Shop. Then head on over to Equipment and equip them to your generator slots. Q. How do I shoot blue/green/white laser batteries? A. To shoot blue, you must fill all laser slots on your ship (not including drones) with LF-3 lasers. To shoot green, you must have all LF-3, then use x3 ammunition. To shoot white, you must use x4 ammunition. And a thing most new players do is repairing their Credit bought ships with Uridium. It is generally much easier to use Credits to repair them, due to Uridium being much valuable. A Phoenix ship is free, so if all goes wrong, a Phoenix can't.
- Only in the Astrub area (which is a rather large part of the map, considering what other 'free' games give you compared to member only areas). Outside of Astrub region you can only move around and send private messages to other players. To gain full access to Dofus you need to purchase a subscription (6.90 USD a month). For a full list of subscriber benefits, visit the subscription page on the official Dofus site. 2. Why isn't the game free? Only the makers of Dofus can answer this question with absolute certainty, but we are willing to guess that it has something to do with the desires of the game creators to buy food and pay their rent. It is their job, yes? 3. Come ON, other MMORPGs are free! Why not Dofus? No computer game is totally free. Someone has to pay the costs somewhere down the line or the game wouldn't be available. All games have to pay for their servers, the people who create them, the people who keep them updated, etc, etc. Some use shops, some use subscriptions, some try to sell their software and updates, some use advertising, some have incredibly rich creators who can spend all their money on your entertainment (we don't know of any games like this, but it's possible there's one out there somewhere!), and some use a combination of these methods. Dofus has chosen subscriptions and shops. But cheer up! At least there is a nice area with some fun things to do that you can play around in forever and never pay a dime - aside from the electric bill. 4. But I'm too young/too poor/outside a country where they offer payment options! Why can't I play Dofus - all of Dofus - for free? In this world, you pay for what you get. If you pay nothing, you shouldn't expect to be waited on hand and foot. If you want to play a game with quality, someone has to pay for it. Keep in mind that many people have already paid to play Dofus, and if the game were made completely free tomorrow, they would all be very angry that they had been tricked into paying for something that was going to be free anyway. 5. Well, if Dofus is such a great game, why are there so many spelling and grammar errors in the text? Dofus was originally programmed to be a French game. The developers are all French and their English is limited. However, they are doing their best to correct as many errors as they can - and you can help! If you find a typographic error, you can post them into this sub-forum on the Official Dofus Forums. (When you're hunting for typos, keep in mind that Ankama Games tends to use European spelling patterns so words like "colour" and "centre" are not misspelled.) 6. They make the players do their work for them? Lame! Some of the English-speaking players have volunteered to help by proofreading, in order to save Ankama some time and because they like the game well enough to want to help the creators make it better. For the actual translation, they hired a full-time accredited translator. 7. Okay, so I paid to play this game. What now? Let us suggest a few things you might enjoy. If you have already completed all the Astrub Quests, you could get an Alignment. Alignments offer another series of quests and allows you to aggress other players for more Player Versus Player interaction. There are also many Dungeons to conquer. Or you could check out all the Areas that you haven't been able to reach until now. May we suggest Moon Island or The Wabbit Islands? 8. Can I be in your uber-l33t guild? Most guilds have a minimum requirement of sorts (Usually level), don't waste time asking them all.
