Topics: WAKFU has the big news this week, and Macha is here to walk you through all of the new Subscriber Benefits. She'll also tell you what to expect as a Free to Play player! In DOFUS news, Izmar's got a new contest this week that's easy to enter and win. She's even going to give you a hint to help you get started. Izmar and Macha will also be answering your questions and asking themselves... Which class is the most intelligent? What do you think?
Don't forget about our Inside Ankama On Air banner design contest! Your design could be our banner for four straight weeks! Learn more about it in the news thread.
And Macha will get a chance to try her hand at: EPIC NPC THEATER! If you know which WAKFU NPC Macha was, please send your guess (along with your account's display name) by email with the title "Epic NPC Theater." You can send your entries to insideankama.en@ankama.com.
Remember that winners will be drawn randomly from all the correct entries on next week's show. Congratulations to this week's winner: Meodkd!
If you have questions you'd like to hear answered on the podcast, drop us an email (insideankama.en AT ankama DOT com), or better yet - leave us a voice message on Skype!
As of February 22, 2012, Gift Points will disappear. We're removing this unnecessary step between you and your subscription gift. Now, you will directly receive the gift of your choice when subscribing with Ogrines, as is the case with other payment options.
But don't worry! Even though we will no longer distribute gift points for Ogrine purchases, the Gift Section will remain open for several more months to give you time to spend your remaining GP. The four pets exclusive to the Gift Section will also have a special price reduction until the section closes. Enjoy!
Gift Points were introduced to support Ogrines when they were launched. Today, using Ogrines has become routine for players (for subscription, Dofus services, Kama exchange) and Ogrines have grown enough to adopt the same functionality as the other payment options. So you will receive your choice of our "classic" subscription rewards whenever you subscribe from now on.
Next week, we will publish an article on the Devblog to explain all this in detail!
You voted! Now it's time to HUNT! Amakna will be full of Trools, Boowolves, and Jellies from now until 7:30 AM (GMT+1) on Tueday morning!
It's a server-wide invitation to PARTY!
We ran two polls, one here on Dofus.com, and one on our Official Facebook Page to ask YOU which of the three suggested monsters you wanted to hunt. While our Dofus.com poll said Jellies, Facebook said they wanted Boos and Trools. So we're giving you BOTH! It's a double-feature creature weekend!
It's also an occassion for the entire EN community to come together and hunt some awesome monsters for everyone's benefit! So while you're out there in Amakna this weekend, invite someone you don't know yet to join your group, help a newbie get a level, or just say "hi" to the other people you run into. There'll be plenty of monsters for everyone, it's ok to relax and share!
These monsters will be spawning in and around Amakna on Rushu, Rosal, Shika, Solar, Zatoishwan and Dark Vlad until the maintenance hits at about 7:30 AM on Tueday morning. Watch out, because we couldn't get the Trools to aggree to a pact of non-aggression for the weekend, they will attack if you get too close. If you can skirt around those big uglies, the Jellies and the Boowolves will let you get by in peace.
We hope you enjoy this event. If everyone likes it, we'll bring it back next month with some different monsters for you to choose from! If you have any suggestions for a monster you'd like to see in the polls, tell us!

The RageFaces are coming to DOFUS? There's only one logical response: ME GUSTA.
Easy to create and fun to read, Rage comics can be found in almost every corner of the internet... and DOFUS is no exception. Creators of the World of Twelve, unite!
Have fun creating your own DOFUS Meme or Rage Comic, or invent your own DOFUS Rage Face for this contest.
The top 5 entries (as judged by Ankama) will win 1000 Ogrines and a complete Borbat Set.
In addition to the actual contest, we will also have a popularity poll. All of the entries in the contest will be published to our Official Facebook Page in a special album, and the Rage face or comic that receives the most likes will be announced as the most popular and beloved of our community. Naturally, it's possible for an entry to win both types of prizes!
In the picture above, you can find some examples of Dofusian Rage faces.
If you're having trouble getting started, you can make comics quickly and easily with the Rage Comic builder. Or, you can find plenty of collections of Rage Faces all around the internet, which you can transform via the magic of whatever graphic editing program you prefer.
Rules:
There is no limit to the number of comic entries that a player can post (but please use the Edit button and put them all into the same post) as long as they are in English. There will be only one prize awarded per person. We reserve the right to remove any entries that do not comply with our Terms of Service. Create new Rage faces or Rage comics, the important thing is that they must be related to DOFUS!
You have until 12:01 PM (GMT+1) on February 6th, 2012 to post your entries in this thread.

While the rest of the world is wearily putting away the holiday cheer, there's still one group happily celebrating the start of a new year! Who's that? Why it's the Pets of the World of Twelve!
2012 will be full of news and we're storing up plenty of surprises that will be revealed throughout the Ankama universe as 2012 unfolds... but we won't talk about all of them now... Spoilers!
Right now, it's time for warm wishes and music, courtesy of four adorable pets from the realm of DOFUS. CHoose your song and help the Pets howl along in our musical greeting card!
They're majestic... they're mysterious... they're magnanimous... they're MODERATORS! And if you have ever entertained the idea of joining the most demanding guild in the game, now's your chance to try out! We are currently looking to add somewhere between 5 to 8 new volunteer moderators to our English community team. Instructions for how to apply can be found on our new English Mod Applications profile!
Be aware, Moderator is not a position for everyone! Our mod application process is extremely demanding, and only the most dedicated, the most knowledgeable, and the most mature should apply.
If you match those criteria, we're looking forward to meeting you! Don't delay, because open moderator applications will close at the end of Thursday, January 26, 2012 (6:00 PM GMT+1).
Your best photos have been put online on the Ankama Facebook page for your community, and now it’s up to you to vote for the one photo that will stand the best chance against the other communities’ photos!
