You chose your leader: Remington! You chose him in a fierce battle! Read the whole adventure, find out who won the very first WAKFU-subscriptions and discover how Millennia gets back at Remington for his victory!

 

A month ago, Ankama decided to give our beloved players the opportunity to name our international server through a contest. As all of you know, we celebrated the WAKFU Server Name Contest. Each participant submitted an entry providing us a name, a story and a visual representation.

We selected the top 5 best entries (Fataline, Millenia, Shadow, Zetcorvit and Zondemar) and we also awarded them with the first subscriptions for free in the history of WAKFU! At that time…we opened a poll and all of you had the power to choose which name you liked the most.

The battle was very hard and the results closed but in the last minute...Millenia stopped the time and her opponents couldn´t vote against her. Taking this advantage, the guild of Millenia put a few more votes in the ballot boxproviding Millenia a clear victory. Don´t subestimate the power of a Xelor!

While the poll was still ongoing, voices arose and implored Remington to come to their rescue! Millenia won the poll with 51% of all votes, but the absence of Remington was too hard to bare for the players. Ankama realized that –maybe – our players would have preferred to maintain the current name server that referred our charismatic and powerful rogue Remington.

That´s why, one more time, we decided to be absolutely fair and celebrate a second round.

This time, Remington and Millenia faced in Brakmar. During a long weekend, they were fighting so hard but Remington used a rogue trick and – taking the advantage of an absentmindedness of Millenia – he placed lots of bombs around her. Millenia was surrounded by 3 Last Breath and 3 Overload bombs… A big explosion could be heard in the nation of Brakmar and Remington abandoned the place. “Yes! I am the most powerful rogue ever” he said. Returning to the area where the explosion took place, we could see a Xelor rised from the ashes…It was Millenia! Millenia was hurted but not defeated at all. Her last words were…I will be back…I promise you”.

In compensation for the great effort of our friend Ryuujikyon we provided him a graphical adaptation of Millennia done and autographed by one of our Ankama´s artists, a WAKFU art book, a soft-toy, an Ankama Convention Poster Book and some key chains.

But this is not all, we randomly selected 5 voters during all the voting period and we awarded them with a WAKFU month subscription for free as well. Here it is the list with the winners: WhitePowder, Dubrou, Yumex, otep-vodoo and Evil-fox.

We would like to thank all of you for your great participation!

Wow... I'm speechless... I don't want to bash the artist here, but what the hell happened with her hair? Isn't her hair supposed to be Feca-like? This is the Bride of Frankstein-like.

Am I the only who think Merien's amateur drawing had a better concept than this? Seriously, green armor? Bra plate? Frankstein hair?... I hope this satisfies Ryujikyon, for his character didn't make it to name the server at least he should get a good drawing... but I wouldn't like this, can we get another one?

The subscription is valid once the final version release, not now.

Haha, It's okay, I like this concept. I mean, every artist has an own style and pov.
I did not request for the adaptation to be manga'ish what so ever, like the one I submitted. I'm happy that one of their artists actually took the time to make this GI.
Yet again, I'm somewhat happier about the gifts I'm about to get haha, I'll post some pics ~

Woot, good for you
(Now I'm wondering how good would be Merien's drawing in her own style, I really liked her concept more, but I doubt she would do something)

That is a nice set of Christmas presents from Ankama, I wanna see which plushie they'll send to you, maybe the Frozen Tofu they have been meme-mazing on their facebook?

I don't belive yet that the player prefer remington rather than our own community char, I mean, it was our only chance... it makes all that effort to be useless...

I'm thinking it's all the people who don't regularly check the forums mostly voted for Remington. Just because they had no clue as to what was going on and would rather not bother checking. Shame that it won't be Millenia, ah well.

I don't see anything that would make me vote for Millenia in Millenia vs Remington in the forum really.
I myself just liked Remington, and prefer it to stay the same, and seeing some other ppl's opinion on the previous vote between the 5, im guessing they have the same opinion as me.

None of the community entries impressed me, and I was against the change in the first place (ignoring competition prizes) since Remington has a developed association with Wakfu beyond being a server-name.

So, no, even to make a "mark" on the game, I wouldn't have voted against Remington.
