Dune: Awakening from Funcom is set to release on June 10th, and to ensure their servers are working well they've announced a major public playtest will go live in May.
Still love AO, best skill/ability implementation I have seen to date along with character gearing. But yeah they just fucked it up over time.
Quite enjoyed The Secret World beta and even ordered based on my beta experience and that went to shit pretty quick unfortunately. Never bothered with anything from them since, but I will play the Project Rubika from guys who are reverse engineering AO
Edit: I was also hoping they may reignite my love of AO with doing some similar stuff in Dune, but the gameplay I’ve seen so far is really garbage. I’m playing a Chinese survival game which is free to play with (currently) no pay to win monetization, lotsa bugs aaand I’d still rather continue playing that over what I saw from this Dune game

What’s wrong with Funcom?
I thought Conan Exiles was decent. Not great, but fun enough. That’s my only exposure to Funcom afaik.
They have so many failures under their belt. Conan and Anarchy Online are just about the only things they’ve done that haven’t completely sucked.

Secret World, though janky, was quite good and really unique. Before they fucked it up with the relaunch that is.
