About:
QuoteAlmost 1,000 years after the start of the Age of Dofus, new heroes are emerging to bring hope to a world in ruins. Everything must be rebuilt, and whether you're a fighter or a politician, a merchant or an artisan, in WAKFU, everything depends on you!

Dive headlong into a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (er, an MMORPG, if you prefer) in an original world which puts the LOL in tactical combat (what do you mean, you don't see it?).
Strategy...

From Iops, the thick-skulled but sturdy warriors, to Cras, the elite archer class, and from bomb-loving Rogues to psychotic Masqueraiders, you're sure to find your perfect character with 12 original classes to choose from.

Then, alone or as part of a group, you'll have to arm yourself with courage and foolproof strategies to defeat the shadiest monsters in the World of Twelve, in turn-based battle!
...Politics...

Choose your Nation and wear its colors proudly! Once you've become a citizen, you can vote in the elections and become a Guard or a Soldier for your Nation. Whatever you feel like doing, you have the chance to become an important political figure in the world of WAKFU!

Perhaps you'll make it to the top and fill the role of Governor… or perhaps you'll end up in prison. In fact, there's no reason you can't do both...
...and Ecology...

For the first time in an MMORPG, the flora and fauna in the game form a real, living ecosystem managed by the players: you are free to protect it or to exploit its natural species to the point of extinction!

It's up to you to control the monster population, the variety of plant life and even the climate. You decide the future of your ecosystem!
...place you at the heart of a colorful transmedia universe!

Discover or rediscover the World of Twelve's best-known places and characters, including Astrub, Amakna, Bonta, the Miss Uglies and the famous Black Crow!

Playing it right now, performance is really good even on my laptop, I think it's using Java.

The graphics are great and the gameplay so far actually isn't too bad!

Oh look, a Wakfu trailer that actually shows legit gameplay. I loved FF Tactics, so this looks interesting.

Lol, nice signature Rusty :)

Well I can't really get into it - keeps crashing upon loading every time, reporting a Java error...
Funny thing is: I reported this to them back while the game was in beta and still nobody answered the ticket.

Any ideas which lines to change in the launching script to try and use OpenJDK instead of Sun's?
