The folks over at Gamesradar.com scored a post-launch interview with two comic heavyweights, Superstar Artist Jim Lee and Acclaimed Writer Marv Wolfman. To those of you who aren't familiar with the comics crowd, these two would also be known as the Executive Creative Director and Game Writer, respectively, on DC Universe Online.

When DC Universe Online was first revealed years ago, some wondered if the superhero MMO set in the mythic continuity of DC Comics was too ambitious. But developers Sony Online Entertainment got off to a great start with DCUO by involving writers and artists that were instrumental in crafting the DCU into what it is today. Now that the game’s out and the servers are awash with would-be Batmen and Lex Luthors, we conversed with a couple of those creators to get their thoughts of the final product.

Read the whole thing here.

But the servers are all Low Population now...

id pay the subscription if it included marvel vs DC as a faction vs faction, or maybe heroes from dc and marvel vs villains of dc and marvel (2 stories in one).... creative story makers could make an interesting story based on DC and marvel as faction vs faction mmo...

that would be the only reason id play this game cos i cant stand  computer action mmos (attack mapped on mouse or control pad)...  

since that would never happen  i wont play this game unles it becomes buy to play (no sub), i heard it already has microtransactions so.... why sub and not just buy, like GW / GW2? .... just talking about myself opinion here

edit, eveyone knows taht games that goes from high pops to low pops tend to become high pops again when switch to hybrids or buy to play (no sub) except EQ2X cos thats a mess

There are no micro transactions and there have not been any so far.

There is an item shop kinda thing in the interface, its only been used for promotional codes so far.

Said it before, but just throwing it out there again: I'm giving this game a year to mature before buying. That will mean I'll be able to pick it up alot cheaper, the Green Lantern expansion will have come out, and there should be a year's worth of content updates to keep me busy.  Waiting is a win/win   :)

I do not think DCU will go free to play, its the kind of game that will see people subbing and unsubbing a lot or buying the relativly cheap life time subs.  its a side dish MMO to play alongside your big game of choice be that wow, Rift, Tor, what ever.

ITs a fun game to dip in and out of and I am still very happy with my LTS for that reason.

{mod edit}

Main topic. Still happy with my dcuo .Like others have said i play it as a side mmo.An since its on my station acess acount im not play more for it.iIlook forward to see where they take the game an costumes part they realy need to add for starting characters.

Gmaes made me go back an play batman arkham asylum again to.

I'm enjoying the game and the pop on last laugh is a bit better the last few days but with voice chat going it's a little hard to really know how many are playing. It's a good game for casual play but the types that play night and day are going to burn out quick on it. (for lots of reasons I won't go into here).

A) A man can play as he wants, it's not your business.

B) It doesn't take much to get to the content in a brief time, even with very casual playing. So it just shows how uninformed you really are.

As to the topic at hand: It's another lost interview. I mean, I am a BIG fan of Jim Lee comic art, and still I coundl't care less about his anecdotes about DCU. Who wants to know that? WHY didn't the journalist ask why DCU is in such a sad state and what SOE plans to do about it? THAT would be considerably more interesting than this tea-time babble.

"Did you have a nice day, Mr Lee?"

"Oh, dear yes, it is such a wonderful weather, isn't it?"

Blah blah blah...

? You want to ask the comic artist Jim Lee to give an indepth analysis of why it is going bad with DCU, presumably because he has such a deep, extensive knowledge of  the MMORPG market and gaming behaviour and trends?

Aww... prolly not. You're right. But this is so... uninteresting and unimportant. Especially at this time.
