DuneMUD is a text-based multiplayer role-playing game set in the universe of Frank Herbert’s Dune. Since its launch in 1992, it has offered players a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in a world recreated with eerie accuracy. Intrigue intertwines with ancient traditions, technology coexists with mysticism, and every guild represents a path that defines your destiny.
Join the noble Atreides or the treacherous Harkonnens. Master the desert with the Fremen, ride the sandworms, and become a shadow that leaves no trace. Align with the Bene Gesserit and wield the Voice that bends minds. Or choose the Ixians, modifying yourself toward perfection where man and machine become one.
Each guild features unique mechanics, styles, and philosophies. With hundreds of skills, 8 planets (zones), tens of thousands of rooms, and endless opportunities for diplomacy, combat, and exploration, DuneMUD offers unparalleled depth. There is no “main hero” here — you are the story.
An open world crafted with meticulous detail, optional PK, branching quests, political alliances, and ancient secrets — all brought to life through text that sparks the imagination more vividly than any graphics engine.
Step into the sands of Arrakis — where heroes… and tyrants are born.
