Over a hundred thousand Dune Awakening players got swallowed by the sandworm | Massively Overpowered

They would have over a hundred thousand players on a closed beta game? Goddamn that seems like a shit ton for a beta but I've also never looked at any game's player count.

I didn't even know there was a Dune game?!

If it's the same core team and they've learned their lessons the Dune game should be pretty dope. I'm hoping it shows other MMOs that MMO isn't a playstyle.

I never knew of any non-RTS Dune games until now.

Cool! Finally an MMO with consequences that hurt. It makes a game more exciting, like Ultima Online back in the days:)
