A player returning to Dune: Awakening after a year-long break found their original server removed, resulting in complete loss of progress and inventory. Now forced to start anew without equipment or quests to guide them, the player highlights challenges in server stability and the lack of meaningful returning player benefits. This situation raises concerns about onboarding and retention, as losing all progress can discourage players from re-engaging with the game. The community discussion underscores the importance of smoother re-entry experiences for long-term player health.
