Wakfu Early Thoughts

Recently Square Enix emailed me about Closed Beta testing a new MMO they were publishing called Wakfu.  It’s a free to play game.  The art style intrigued me, as well as it being open to Mac, so I signed up.  For some odd reason, even though they asked me to join, they never sent me the activation beta key.  Oh well.  Again a few days ago, I received notice that they were in Open Beta. So I downloaded and was able to get right in.

First thing I noticed was a broad array of classes.  You don’t choose a race per-say, you choose a tribe (best way to explain it).  You have the assassins, archers, time mages, defenders, berserkers, pet trainers, etc.  Those arn’t the actual names, but essentially what they seem to be.
