DOFUS Touch started the day with a pretty major change on June 16, 2026: after maintenance, every server except Talok became restricted. If you were planning to start fresh with friends on one of the usual servers, this changes a lot right away.
The official reason goes straight to the usual problem: bots. According to Ankama, they have already spent a huge amount of time on cleanup, technical measures, and kama resale enforcement, but mass bot creation was still hurting both the player experience and the game infrastructure.
What changes right now
The practical version is simple: Talok stays as the only open server. The other servers are restricted until further notice, although Kelerog, Tiliwan, and Blair can still receive new players through the sponsorship system or occasional server openings.
That obviously does not erase bots overnight, but it does put a stronger wall in front of the huge amount of throwaway low-level bots that were flooding servers every day.
Why Talok remains open
Ankama says Talok was chosen because it is an international server and is better prepared to welcome players from every community. It is also one of the less populated servers, so a wave of newcomers could actually help it.
They also enabled new community channels on Talok and Blair, with automatic language detection based on the game client. That makes the situation a bit easier for players who now have to think more carefully about where new accounts begin.
The questions players are already asking
Why announce it this late
They wanted to avoid giving bot networks time to prepare, so surprise was part of the plan.
What if I want friends to join me
If you are already on Kelerog, Tiliwan, or Blair, your friends can still come through sponsorship if you meet the requirements.
Does this fully solve bots
No. Ankama openly says bots will still exist. The real objective is lowering massification, not pretending the issue disappears.
How long will it last
There is no fixed date. The test can end at any time depending on how the servers react and what the team observes.
There is a risk too
Ankama also admits the obvious downside: some servers could slowly lose population if the restriction lasts too long. That is why they say they will keep a close eye on things and open servers occasionally if needed.
They also make it clear this is not the end of their anti-bot work. It is one more layer while they test ideas that are hopefully more effective and less restrictive than paid access or heavy identity checks.
So what does it mean for players
If you already play on your usual server, the direct impact may feel limited. But for new accounts, friends joining the game, or anyone planning a fresh start, the entry flow is now much tighter.
Now we wait and see whether this actually gives players some breathing room. If it works, plenty of people will welcome it. If not, at least it gives the team clearer data than simply staying stuck in the same loop.
Short version: Talok becomes the main open door, the rest of the servers tighten up, and the whole thing is being used as a stronger anti-bot test.
