The team over at DC Universe Online have heard our concerns with the low server populations that currently cripple the game. Within the next month, they'll be rolling out some processes that turn their existing servers into "four Super-Servers", one for each platform in each region.
Check out the announcement at the official DC Universe Online website.

"Super servers" .... At least it sounds a lot better than "server merges". |

I'd rather they just came right out with it, they're merging and that really is all there is to it. Honesty never has been SOEs strong suit though. |

The end of open pvp ? I hoped they would release new open pvp content in the future. |

Originally posted by DarkPony Lol, indeed. Ah the power to deceive people with pretty words... doesn't work so well these days where all are skeptics, eh? Or maybe it does and it's just we... Holy Trinity who art in our MMORPGs! Blessed be thy speccs, as in WOW so in all MMOs! Our daily loot grant us, and forgive us our noobness, as we forgive the noobs! And do not lead us to disconnects, But deliver us from mediocrity, For thine is the specialization and the teamwork and the endgame, Until cancellation, Amen! |

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. |

I was an early beta-tester of this game, and I called it back then, and I'm sad to say I was right. What killed (is killing) this game is it's dumb-downed console UI and gameplay. This is MMORPG.com, not PewPewSMASH.com, and folks who play MMORPGs want complexity, not simplicity. Even the most simple of MMORPGs, WoW, is 100x more complex than DCUO.
They should've listened to me, and they could have made a great game. Server mergers are the beginning of the end. F2P is the only thing that'll save this game. |

Most games launch with too many servers anyway. I think this comes from the giant hype machine that surrounds MMOs. Very few games from major companies launch small and then build slowly. They launch BIG. Too big. Game releases expect big attention right away, and then everyone moves on to the next thing. The real milestones of MMOs weren't huge hits at launch. They started small and grew. Now they start big, naturally shrink because half the players were just looking for the next fix, and THEN they get to start working on normal MMO development. Anyway, my point is basically that it's not a symptom of a game, it's a symptom of the way the industry works. Important facts: |

So this is server merging and not some kind of battlegroup thing like what wow uses? how sad. glad i never even played the beta and simply watched a guy i knew play the beta and when he asked me if i wanted to give it a try while i was there i said "nope". i could tell just from looking that it was not my cup of tea. seems it wasn't anyone else's either. |

Are these servers going to be pvp or pve or will they just lump everyone together? |

^ Yes ;) Maybe just maybe SOE will finally realise launching unpolished MMOs is bad. Pretty sad that this many years on, CoX is still top dog in the super hero genre. |

I like the sugar coating that SOE does. It's just above being detectable by a twelve year old. |
