Patch 0.312: The Ogre's Coercion

End of Beta Notice

As we march ever closer to launch at the end of this month, we must realize that at some point Open Beta must draw to a close, and that time is upon us.

WAKFU will conclude is Beta testing on Wednesday, February 22nd.

In one week, all game servers will go down in order to make final preparations and adjustments for launch on February 29th. As it won't be an idle time for anyone, including the community, we look forward to having you with us for the final stretch.

Thank you for your support and loyalty.
