Since June 9, the Canadians have had the opportunity to slide their fingers across DOFUS Touch. How did the launch go, and how does the game fare now? Let's check this up together!

DOFUS Touch arrived in Canada, not exactly with its hands in its pockets, but nonetheless whistling a joyful tune! Although minor issues did disrupt the first gaming hours, the team was up to the task and very reactive, and was able to fix them quickly; for example, the Frigost area was at first unavailable, but this issue was fixed within a few hours.
As soon as DOFUS Touch launched, several articles popped up all over the gaming web: famous websites such as TouchArcade and PocketGamer took notice of the event, and we thank them for that!
Various acquisition operations are now being evaluated internally, in order to develop the nascent community; but we'll get back to you later about that!
We know you love statistics... here are some that might be of interest to you.![Grandapan stats]()
At the time we are writing this news, DOFUS Touch boasts a 3.8/5 rating on Google's PlayStore, and a 3.5/5 rating on the App Store. These are nice results for the first launch of a game as massive as DOFUS Touch. But we hope we can do better, and our teams are working around the clock to improve your gaming experience!
However, if you happen to like the game, please do not hesitate to give it a rating on your store and share it with your friends.
The Goultines are at the center of many a discussion, but you'll be happy to learn that the system is working like a charm in the Grandapan server's live conditions; the rate changes in order to stay coherent with the server's economic evolution.
By the way, the Lakeside Palace has already been bought, for a Goultine price amounting to nearly 300 CAD.
Of course, the shop is working just as well. A stock rotation of the items offered for sale is done once a week. In addition to this, we are doing frequent flash sale offers, lasting for a day or two. Here's what the shop looks like on Grandapan.

We are aware that a lot of players have questions about our policy regarding bots, emulators, and multi-accounting. [Jonquille] recently had the opportunity to answer such questions on the official forums (in this thread, to be precise):
« I think we need to clarify some points that have been brought up in this thread, since there are a lot of things that are being said but that are wrong.
First, I will talk about multi-accounting, at the risk of making some of you grate their teeth. We never claimed that DOFUS Touch would be a golden opportunity for a mono-accounting server. Though I am personally glad that DOFUS Touch seems to be following this trend, this is not our will. As such, multi-accounting will be tolerated, as on any current DOFUS server.
However, as we have said many times, we do not condone the use of emulators. We are going to fight actively against those in the coming months. Even though we are well aware that it would be nearly impossible to reduce the number of usable emulators to nil, we will endeavour to make them much more difficult to use.
While I greatly appreciate your commitment to DOFUS Touch (honest to the Gods), your solutions so far seem to me to be technically easy to work around. But don't worry, we have some leads to follow up.
Furthermore, I'd like to draw your attention to a crucial point. You seem to think that access to the game should be automatic and possible for every DOFUS player, that it would be "normal". But that's simply not true. If you have a tablet and you are able to invest yourself on this version, then that's great! I am aware that, for various reasons, this version is interesting to you. However, our target is (and always has been) new players, which means players outside our community. If a player is unable to play DOFUS Touch because they don't have a tablet, then they can keep investing themselves on DOFUS, which is a very good game!
In closing, let's talk about bots. We are of course aware of the issue, and we are not denying their presence in the game. Please rest assured that while this is a delicate issue, this is mfirst and foremost one which we want to fight against from the very start on DOFUS Touch. If, at the moment, responses are late, it is because we are looking at the best solutions we could put together so that we would not see them coming back right away. »
We hope that this will help answer your questions!
« The « Heroes of Tomorrow » welcome guild had a pretty rocky start; the influx of new players proved especially complicated to handle on the first days and unfortunately, many have not fully understood the exact objective of such guilds. It is a project that we hold close to heart; we think that welcoming new players is important, helping them at the beginning of the game and offering them a progression in the best possible conditions.
As such, we have decided to stop the Heroes of Tomorrow guild for the time being. This first experience let us stress test the concept further, in working conditions, and we think it would be healthier and better for the next welcome guild to start off fresh and anew.
Next, we intend to launch a public recruitment campaign in order to target more precisely the players who might be interested and motivated by the welcome guild concept, so that we may launch the next guild in the weeks to come.
We invite you to read the Devblog article about welcome guilds in order to learn more on this topic.
Now that's something a lot of you are wondering about! And we can easily understand why. However, and even though all lights are green for a DOFUS Touch release in France in a reasonable time frame, we are unable to tell you a precise date today.
We are aware that your patience is wearing thin on this issue. But longer is better, isn't it? :)
Still, please rest assured that we are still aiming for a Summer launch, sometime between July and August. So you won't have to wait a long time!
At the moment, the team is working on fixing the remaining bugs and improving the game conditions.
And on that note, we have reached the end of this new missive! Please do not hesitate to comment or ask any question that would be gnawing at you, we would be glad to discuss them with you!

Statistics

The first level 100 on the server is a Cra by the name of Takastle. You can follow the ladder on the official website.

The economy
The Goultines are at the center of many a discussion, but you'll be happy to learn that the system is working like a charm in the Grandapan server's live conditions; the rate changes in order to stay coherent with the server's economic evolution.
