WhileDune Awakeningwill have official servers where players will be expanding their bases, you may also switch to a private server if that’s something you’re looking at.
Private servers were always expected to be available in the MMO, but Funcom had originally considered them post-launch additions. They’ll be available at launch, though, and we’ll ensure you know all the necessary information.

How will Dune Awakening private servers work
A private server will have some similarities with a Public Server inDune Awakening. For starters, a private variant will have afull Hagga Basin map, and you can do everything possible on the official ones. However, all private servers will belong to a separate world with no public variants (you will get to choose the world you want).
All private servers will have access to every multiplayer feature available in the game. This includes theSocial Huband theDeep Forest, where you can meet other players who have their private servers. The Deep Forest and the Social Hub will be controlled by the server hosting provider, not individual players.
All private server settings in Dune Awakening
One of a private server’s biggest benefits is its set of settings. While all the aspects aren’t under your control, a few extra tweaks exist.
Additionally, you can name your server and set a password to invite and add other players. This also allows you to visit the private servers owned by other players. If you have the password, you can join the new server, take your full inventory, and even claim land.
How to own a private server in Dune Awakening
There will be three different server hosting providers from which you can choose.
You’ll have to discuss any technical support directly with the providers.
Are private servers worth it in Dune Awakening
If you’re like me, who doesn’t have a friend group playing, it’s better to enjoy the official servers. PvP is highly optional, so there’s little risk of other players sabotaging your in-game progression. Renting a private server also costs a noticeable amount, so the official options seem like the best choice for most players.
