WAKFU is a tactical MMORPG from French studio Ankama, released in February 2012. It is set in the World of Twelve a thousand years after Dofus, the studio's other game, and the universe also has an animated series. The world is rebuilding after a cataclysm.
Fights are turn-based on a grid, as in a tactics RPG. There are 18 classes, each with elemental spell branches, special actions and passives; spells unlock early and are then strengthened. Outside combat you gather, craft and tend an ecosystem: harvest without replanting and resources thin out for everyone. Players in each of four nations elect governors and run militias.
It suits fans of slow tactics and a shared world with crafting and politics. Fights take longer than in action MMOs, newcomers will need guides, and there is no Russian.
