I like the idea of a Dune MMO. My question is when it would be set. The easy way would be before the first book. A bit harder would be just after House Atreides falls and Paul is just getting started with the Freemen. You could also set it while the armies of MaudÂ’Dib are on jihad, conquering the galaxy (pre and durning book 2 area). I donÂ’t think that the era of books 3-4 is a good time to have it since most of the conflict in 3 is political and in 4 Leo has the galaxy fairly well pacified. Books 5-6 might be interesting, but you might not get the kind of mainstream response that you would with the earlier ones or even one set before the books.
