Tomorrow morning (French time) is the update that will add the Sidekick system to Dofus, and I'm really excited about it, actually. Since I last posted in this thread, I've had a chance to try the system out on their Beta server, and I'm really, really looking forward to it now. More than that, since I posted last, they've added a seventh Sidekick to the game, a Knight (rather than a superhero), and he's going to be free for subscribers, too, along with two of the
Multimen Sidekicks. The Knight is a general-purpose attacker, while the Multimen are specialists (a healer, a melee damage-dealer, a ranged damage-dealer, a supporter, a tank, and a battlefield manipulator) - the two free ones will be the tank and the battlefield manipulator (Trank and Krobax, their names are).
I am seriously as excited about this as I was about the Sorcery power pool in CoH (for similar reasons - an addition to existing characters, rather than something I'd have to make a whole new character to try out).
(It says a lot about the game's community, though, that they're all focused on minor nerfs to a few of the classes - including one class that got one single very minor nerf - and ignoring this new system entirely)
... I do want to try to make all their costumes in Icon.
