Wait, one of the NPCs dies in the series!

Wait, one of the NPCs dies in the series! I won't spoil it, but one of the NPCs in the game is supposed to have died in the series or something? Season 2.

EDIT

Oho. Or not.

Anyone want to theorise about the timelines between the series and the game?

I was under the impression that the game takes place before the series, by about a decade or so.

Interesting, can you pin that impression on anything or anything?

It is quite safe to say the games time line comes after the first series...

Simple logic really...
Ogrest is alive and in power at the end of episode 26 of the first series...
Ogrest is alive and in power in the MMO.

So either Ogrest isn't a boss in the MMO or the series is based after or at the same time as the MMO.

The (old) Wakfu site would answer to this, actually.
Yes, the game in fact takes place at the exact same time as Yugo and Co do their stuff. The initial idea would be to have in-game events where Yugo's group would actually appear in-game, or you would be able to see the outcome of whatever they did in the areas they would have passed by in the animated series.
This idea was marvelously original and awesome, but due to the constant delaying on the game's full release (which is likely to go on forever, at this pacing...) the animated series keep going and none of this actually shows inside the game, both because most of the areas are unavaible for any of us, as well as because they simply aren't thinking about applying it.

My guess is, at some point (read that as when the game fully goes out), we should be able to see the aftermath of all the events as they had planned (AKA leftovers from battles, items left there, etc), and provided the animated series are still going by then, we would "catch up" in-game... Or just never have anything of that applied.

Either way, tl : dr, yes, the game happens at the exact same time Yugo does his traveling.

I think TVTropes said Wakfu was planned for three seasons and a movie. We'll also be getting a Dofus movie.

It's just hear-say though.

Spoilers pertaining to episode 9:


Spoiler: (highlight to show)
Justice Knight unleashes his shushu, Anathar, who is Rushu's 2ic (I think?)A bunch of stuff happens then, he comes back, *without* Anathar. Yet in the game, he's clearly still wearing Anathar.

So I suppose the series takes place after the game. That may change in a future patch when the game goes gold. Who knows.

It's not so much that as it is we are going "unsynched" with the animated series. Like I said, all of those things were meant to change as they happen in the animation, but since we are still stuck in beta, they don't change; as if we were stuck in a first-season loop when nothing of that has happened yet, basically.

The game comes first, about a decade. If you go to Emelka, you can still see Yugo as a baby in the game. I mean, you cannot SEE it actually, but your gemlin says that there're a baby upstairs.

That can be easily explained. It's just that the series "haven't started yet" ingame, so, if there are no series Yugo is still a baby. When the series starts maybe at that timeYugo will grow up.

And if you think about it, there must be a reason to make them NOT release the series in english!

Yes, it's called "negotiating". They're looking for a television with voice actors to voice a translated series. It has nothing to do with when the game is set.
