Maybe both? Warhammer 40k, now that would be a universe that gives plenty of opportunities for action, whether it would be a Planetside style game or a RPG MMO though I'm not sure.

I've also read the prelude to Dune series and would agree that the scope allows for a far-reaching conversion to an online game. Ever other story arc/genre has been converted to an MMO, so why not Dune? //HoC Yep, I'd go with a Dune based MMO.

The one thing that ruined that game was making jedi's too easy to achieve. I prefer high fantasy MMO's to be honest but I'd give a sfi-fi MMO a try if it was worth trying.

Space travel could well be the big problem of such an MMO I'd agree, but I'd look the other way if they did want to make space travel a little less problematic :) You're right, I'm mixing the film with the book, I've read the book once and seen the film 3 or 4 times.

No, no, no! That's not in the book at all, that was made up purely for the film to turn the Atreides fighters into elite, Sardukar equals and the fremen into their inferiors. In fact, the fremen were naturally the better than even Sardukar and would've ripped into the typical Atreides fighters with ease. The fremen were taught by Paul the Bene Gesserit prana-bindu methods, which made them even more dangerous. That said, I'd love to see an MMO based on Dune, but don't see how they could do it without really bending the lore. Space travel was uncommon and extremely expensive even for the noble classes. Probably the only people to travel regularly would be members of the guild, and even then, the majority of travel would undoubtably be on business.
