>>89462690Dofus is subscription based, and on the whole isn't bad. They changed a lot of things since I first played it. You can find more if you lurk recent forum posts about the game. Dofus and Wakfu still has a fairly large following in France and there is a fair amount of English speaking players for it.
Wakfu is currently f2p, but you can purchase booster packs that increase xp and gold gains. They're useful but not imperative to accomplishing what you need.
Expect to grind a fair amount for items though. Luckily enemy drops are increased through combat challenges and the like.
From here on out I'm going to talk about Wakfu, as Dofus I'm not as familiar with.
In Wakfu there are no NPCs that you can sell goods to, or buy from. Everything is player input. Even the environment (in terms of resources) is player input. As such, you can (theoretically) make a particular resources (tree, plant, crop, animal, etc) extinct in the game. As such it is an incentive (as you can become a criminal) to plant (trees, crops, plants, and animals) by harvesting their seeds and spreading them around. Then you harvest them.
The only resources that are infinite in the game are ores, and fish. They respawn in their designated spots with relative quick succession.
In order to deal with bots in the game they instituted a captcha cat. Now this cat is by far the greatest thing in the game. You want this to happen. You complete the captcha in the minigame and you get 40 of the resource, some gold and your prospecting stays in good standing. You fail and your prospecting plummets (even to the point of getting no resources from harvesting), which can only be reversed with time or succeeding with another captcha cat.
There are a number of quest lines you can follow that helps with xp gains and item acquisitions. They even follow lore to some extent or another.
If you're a fan of turn based combat, then give Wakfu a shot.
