DOFUS, a French MMORPG, is on display here at E3 in the French Pavillion. Jon Wood stopped by to say hello and get the scoop on where they're headed next.

Today, I sat down with Thomas Bahon, the Director of Products for Ankama Games, the company responsible for the 2D MMORPG, Dofus.

For readers who may not be aware, Dofus is a Flash-based MMORPG, two dimensional of course, that is billed as “a heroic fantasy world and a highly colored 2D design.” They also see the game as “both a role-playing game and an interactive cartoon”. Looking at the game, that seems to be the case. Created in an anime-style, the game lends itself well to its 2D Flash production.

The game has a scheduled extension coming in July of this year. The extension is interestingly named “Riders of the DragonTurkey”, and will focus on adding mounts to the game. Given the name of the extension, I wouldn’t expect to see too many of the standard fantasy mounts. With this extension, along with the mounts, they are also going to be adding new quests and new jobs to reflect the addition. One job, for example, would see players raising the mounts.

And the science gets done, so you make a neat gun, for the people who are still alive.

It's a alright game, I was really expecting more out of it though.
I enjoyed the party system I was in, having 8 people all in one battle made me feel like I was playing a online version of FFT.
If they head in the right way, I'm sure they can get way more people to become addicted.

Great, more crap to fill the toilets of the internet.  Be warned;  If you subscribe to Ankama's game, and then try to unsubscribe from their annoying frenglish letters, they won't take you off their mailing list.  I beta'd this junk, and it's not worth your time.
