Wakfu’s Ogrest single-account servers opened for early access on October 31. Despite several crash tests and trials, the latter were particularly unstable. The development team reviews the measurements to ensure an optimal experience before the valves are fully opened.
Single-account Wakfu: Or cascading problems
Disconnections, Queues, Derailed ecosystems, ping without pong… If the crowds on Wakfu servers are nice to see, the technique still needs to be reviewed. The game had never seen such a number of characters simultaneously, much to the chagrin of the teams. Notably, the CMs and developers insisted on continuing the fixes late in the evening, and in the middle of a public holiday.
Faced with the enthusiasm during early access, our servers are experiencing certain stability problems.

And the work doesn’t seem to end. Exceptional maintenances follow one another to try to correct the bugs. The developers mention for example IP issues, queuing and/or automatic turn passes. However, they are currently not sufficient and the following Ogrest servers will not allow character creations after the end of early access for F2P players: Ogrest INT 1, Ogrest 1, 2 and 3
F2P players (without early access) will be able to access Ogrest INT 2 and Ogrest 4 for free, new servers opening especially for the occasion. As a reminder, a merge should take place for all servers after a certain date, yet to be determined. Compensation is also to be expected, even if still under study, in order to compensate for the connection problems of the last few days.
We thank you again for your exceptional enthusiasm, this is a great moment for our project: thank you all!
