This FAQ (frequently asked questions) page is designed to present and compile, in a very clear way, the ins and outs of the single-account server known as Ogrest. It may be added to over the next few days.
The server is only accessible to players with:
Two accounts can log in from the same IP address only if:
The pre-registration period runs from October 5 (5 p.m. Paris time) to October 24 (11:59 p.m.).
When pre-registering, you have to include your character's gender, class, and nickname.
Important information:
Pre-registered players get 2 free regeneration potions when the server opens.
Another important point: Pre-registration numbers will translate to stretch goals.
This is a tier of pre-registered players to reach in order to unlock prizes. The more of you pre-register, the more free rewards you'll get when the server opens!
Four packs of varying contents and prices have been designed to meet all players' needs. A pass offering 2-day early access is included starting with the second pack.
Note that you don't need a pack in order to pre-register.
Players who purchase pack 1, 2, 3, or 4 will gain access to the single-account server on October 31. For everyone else, the server will become accessible on November 2 (4 2 p.m. Paris time).
The early-access mechanic will also allow our team to manage the influx of players and adjust the server load. Even with pre-registration, we think it's worth being extra cautious with server capacity. A 2-day early access period will therefore be beneficial in breaking up the arrival of players.
Also, since WAKFU is a free-to-play game, these packs and the early-access period will help give us a return on our team's investment in this project.
The Booster is the same for all three servers. However, it will have a different effect on the single-account server.
Items purchased from the shop and other gifts and compensation obtained prior to pre-registration for the Ogrest server won't be recoverable on the Ogrest server.
Experience potions, loot potions, and harvest potions obtained after the start of pre-registration won't be recoverable when the Ogrest server launches. You'll be able to retrieve them beginning December 2.
The following will be retained within Pandora, Rubilax, and Ogrest:

After the single-account server "Ogrest" was announced, we got several questions from you. Here are the answers!
Community events will coincide with pre-registration and the single-account server launch (rush achievements, contests on social media, sessions with content creators, etc.); we'll have more details soon!
THE OGREST SERVER OPENS ON NOVEMBER 2, 2023
Are you up for a Mount-Zinit-level challenge?
Register now!
Until October 24 (11:59 p.m. Paris time)
EDIT: love the mass downvoting and no explanation for it. I wonder why we even have a forum still if it's just people crying from the shadows.
If you allow to transfer a char geared thanks to the heroes system in a multiacc server with many years of farm with all the items, professions, spells, resources... wouldn't this defeat the purpose of playing with others? What about trying to achieve a healthier growth from scrach instead of sixboxing and then transfering a char?
I'm assuming it simply means that we won't be able to transfer our progress from Rubilax to Ogrest. But I'm not sure that I'm reading it correctly.
On the other hand, cosmetic items, professions, kamas, items and quests won't be transfered. That means, everyone starts from 0.
Nothing is going to be wiped.
No changes to gameplay or dungeons like scaling based on participants etc?
The only change I saw was that the Booster Pack will now grant 100% more exp and 50% more loot/kamas in the Ogrest server.
That and no Heroes or Sidekicks.
You're going to hear about iop legends, foggernaut legends, eniripsa legends in this new single character server; unlike in rubliax.
Not sure if I'll be able to take part or not but, is the phone number thing mandatory? I lost my Discord account to Oblivion for not having one (I regret nothing), and this might deny access to some other players not owning one too.
I hate those thingamabobs to death, in case you are wondering.
Why you'd say?
Unlocking lvls each X time(weeks-months) so the playerbase has the time to test all the reworked content that has been modified this last years. Being this for new players or returning ones such as myself.
Playerbase more unified since chill players and tryhard ones would be around the same levels which means that more available groups or same-level areas would be populated
Not going just for the end-game content to stomp on low lvl dungeons with the high lvl ALS emblems withouth having to stop at each branch to farm gear. Just focus on high-end ones.
Pacts being interesting since people at the same lvl would fight instead of rushing to 230 and then stomp on the low lvls trying to use the system.
Many Areas will be ignored because the gear they give aren't that attractive if you can just go to higher lvl ones and easier too(like lv215 branch being easier than the lv200 dungeons in term of mechanics but with stronger gear)
REALLY ,REALLY good quests and crafting recipes that appear each time we lvl up but won't be profitable in terms of stats since no level cap= just use the highest lvl items to rush.(Ex: Nation swords and ring, why even try to get them)
I really hoped to see a more progressive lvl curve and not just a "multi-acc server rules with the monoacc restriction"
Make Ogrest a lvl capped server!
Listen to the players , the future is now!
Or equilibrium in pvp classes?
I was under the impression the purpose of the mono account server was for people to play the game in a way that is closer to how it was pre-2015 before Ankama got greedy and made multiboxing a feature because they saw a way of profiting from it. Why would I throw away 11 years of playtime and start anew, especially when maining a class is such an outdated concept because there is such disparity between classes, and too much content is designed in a way that is very unfun for certain classes. For example, Enus have no push and we are shoehorned into playing as a Drhellzerker, which rids of us our ability to pull and swap (though relying on a summon that plays after you for positioning is terrible anyway). There are like 4 classes that need to be brought up to todays new type of rework, and who knows how long that is going to take. The dev team needs to follow through with their ideas fully instead of releasing 80% of an update over and over again. Anyway, nothing I've said here matters; if people want to start fresh on a server made up of mostly Osas then I hope they enjoy their time there. I just feel like I should be allowed to voice my own opinion, since the devs (allegedly) like to hear how players feel.
The mono server is obviously not made for everyone, you don't need to feel forced to jump into it because a lot of people are talking about it - most of these people wouldn't be playing much on the normal servers anyways, even if the mono acc server didn't launch.
I really like the thinking behind this post, even though it has so many downvotes. I just don't like the word "NEED" that was used. There should be more motivation to do dungeons over all lvl brackets. Since sublimations are usable on all lvl brackets, I would make them drop in low lvl dungeons aswell as in higher lvl dungeons. They could possibly have a lower drop chance from lower lvls, or there could be new steles in lower lvl dungeons. But if they were droppable sooner, it could be better for a lvl capped monoaccount server.
I like this idea a capping the levels a lot because it allows players to catch up and make them stay at similar levels. They could progressively increase the level cap based on the levels of the community and make them advance together.
Because yeah, if this is just going to be a Pandora/Rubilax 2.0 but on hard mode I dont see it surviving more than 2 years. The first week, months and even year, sure, everyone will be happy and praise the team, I might also join and have a good time with other players BUT, as the time passes, the most casual and even new players will be left behind, that will happen, it happens in Rubilax and Pandora, why wouldn't in Ogrest? Getting powerleveled or carried through a dungeon in 1m by someone 100 levels above you isn't fun at all, but in Ogrest you won't have Heroes and Sidekicks to help you because even if many hate the system, the truth is that they were added in RESPONSE to the lack of players and to help them to progress.
I am not being negative here, I am happy that over 10k players have registered for the new server ( myself included) but I just dont see how is Ogrest ever manage to survive more than 2 years, I really don't know. I was also expecting, as PhoenixFly says, more modifications and QoL features like better solo experience or rules to help the players to play and stay together, but it seems like this is just going to be a race to level 230. I really don't see a benefit in exploring every single piece of content and upgrading my gear if we will just be rushing through the levels.
The level cap proposed sounds amazing, even if my friends played Ogrest 24/7 and I, as a casual player, can't keep with their levels, it would be such a bliss to know that our levels wouldn't be too far apart and I could catch up in a few days or weeks to do content together along with the rest of the community.
Plus, progressively unlocking the level cap would give players something to look forward to, like in Pokemon Go. If Niantic released all the 1000 pokemons at once we wouldn't have anything to expect, they were able to keep the game alive for more than 7 years by limiting the content and distributing it throughout the time. Just now they are finally, barely, catching up with the current generation. The new Server could (and should, imo) do the same, or add some special rules to make the experience more enjoyable.
Many of us will be expecting to re-discover the game that we have been playing since, what, 2009 ~ 2010? As Siu said in the stream this is a new era, imo this is the right time to make things right as it should've been from the start.
MAYBE the events that they said they will be running in the server will help to keep it active? The bonuses from events have been heavely nerfed before so idk about that.
