I remembered about Dune and installed it few days ago only to find that, indeed, the community is dead. I have a friend that's still playing it bout I think we'll look toward something else like StarCraft or BattleZone. After installing an antiquate operationg system and messing with my router to run Dune 2000 I found out that there are only two hard-core players left - trike007 and muis but they like playing each other too much to care using a decent language with other players.
