Dune Awakening is here - Our own private server at Gaulois du Nord!

OYÉ OYÉ ! Dune Awakening is here - Our own private server at Gaulois du Nord! :rocket:

Hello everyone! The Gauls of the North now have their own Dune Awakening private server! :rocket:Well, the Gauls, the Franks, the friends of the Nord region… we haven’t hidden it from you, here we celebrate the exploits, the alliances, and… the arrival of the Dune Awakening private server!

And here it is, officially! :tada:

loudspeaker ### Good News from Funcom

Yes, yes, it’s true! Funcom has released a brand new version of the Dune Awakening client, and this update has given us access to something essential: access to our own private servers!

So, how does it work? Simple as clicking Dune! :computer_mouse:

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: How to Join? (No Magic Required!) Launch your favorite game (or install the new version if you don’t have the client yet).

Find the mysterious section called « Experimental » at the top left of the main menu.

This option hides a list of all available private servers, managed by various owners.

In this list, scroll down until you see « Fallen Skies (FR/ENG) »… Bingo!

But be careful, there’s another name that might interest you: « Muad Dib »! This is our sietch, our hideout, our starting point!

And here it is, « Fallen Skies » and « Muad Dib » are now accessible to everyone! Their opening is official, 24/7. Come play at your own pace, no more waiting!

:hammer_and_wrench: From Planet to Star: The Options Are Tackling Conquests (But Remain Limited) To be honest, the server customization and administration options are still quite… embryonic for now. We can’t yet create settlements or modify the fundamental game rules like we would in an advanced galactic simulator. But, don’t worry, Funcom is working on it.

:globe_showing_europe_africa: The Server is Public, Multilingual, and… PVE for Now! PVE (Player Versus Environment): Currently, our server is in pure PVE mode. It’s the perfect time to explore, build, and feel the vastness of Dune, without the pressure of other players (or with it, if you’re a peaceful hero!).

In the future: We plan to introduce PVP! Community-run events, inter-siech battles, maybe even special PVPVE instances (like a particularly dangerous Deep Desert for birthdays!). The idea is to offer varied gameplay experiences, for example a second instance of Hagga Basin with different configurations if some players feel the need for specific event or period instances.

:receipt: Respect the Lore (But Leave Room for Imagination) Our server will be public and multilingual (FR/ENG). No password, come as many as you like! However, to keep a little of Dune’s soul and the Gallic spirit (and Frankish), we ask players to adopt character names respecting a certain aspect of the lore. No overly modern or strange names that don’t inspire the saga of Franklin Patrick Herbert Jr… but we’ll leave that to your immense creativity! The important thing is that the name tells a story, or at least isn’t too scary for the nocturnal creatures :black_heart:.

:tada: Come and Share Our Pride! The Gauls of the North, the dream of playing on their own Dune server has become a reality!

So, join us on « Fallen Skies (FR/ENG) » and « Muad Dib ».

Share the moments, build together, discover this world, and let the warm sands of the desert vibrate… But watch out for the worm!

The game begins… today!
