Hello Sleepers,

As we prepare for the upcoming Server Migrations, we've decided to move the start of the character migration process from Patch 1.3.10.0 to Patch 1.3.20.0 in April.

The extra time will also allow us to further optimize server and game performance to ensure that your experience does not degrade and, in some cases, improves due to the changes we are implementing.

Thank you for working with us on this process and for testing the character migration functionality on the Public Test Server. We will update you on the next steps and share the list of affected Worlds before the Patch 1.3.20.0.

Experience the epic conclusion of the Dune Trilogy.

Communinet Signal #13 has arrived! 🌟

And with it comes gorgeous concept art and amazing shares from the community including fanart, screenshots, and buildings. We also have a new Spice for Thought where we're curious to see how you organize your hotbar. You can share on the thread here!

Greetings, sleepers!

As you know, we're preparing for the upcoming character migrations. Check out our latest developer update for more information.

Over the weekend, we locked some of the Worlds with the lowest populations. This means these servers will no longer accept new characters (unless you already have a friend on that server) until the migrations take place. We made this decision because we've had a healthy influx of new players coming in from the recent Steam sale, and we want to make sure players are distributing across the right Worlds.

The Worlds that have been locked are not the full list of servers that will be marked as closing. We are still working on it, and our plan is to share the full list, as well as more information about the process, approximately 2 weeks before any Worlds are closed. This will give you time to prepare for the migrations in the near future.

Thanks for your attention, and see you on the sands!
