blah. it is dead.

The problem with this one is they developed a very shallow game and tried to call it D.C. Universe. The combat is fun and it looks really good but thats where the fun stops, which is too bad because I really wanted to like this game. SOE just has a way of making its customers feel stupid for supporting them, its a special trait.

Edit: I wonder if it'll go F2P any time soon...

What Punchrx said, the missions are repetative as hell in this game as well. With Champions being F2P and CoH following suit, I don't see how they wouldn't jump on that ban wagon

CoH is going F2P?  Didn't know that.  Might be worth checking out again to see what changes have been made since I left.

 i hadnt heard that either... was seriously thinking of getting the last expansion on steam too... CoH is definitely.. imo at least, the best superhero MMO... if its going F2P..  ..... ... tempting.. though.. have to see how they handle it.. the thought of having to buy all those upgrade things from a cash shop...  glad i havent bought it yet (the last expansion) until the dust settles on whats happening with the game.... and then decide

It has its strengths and weaknesses, but I must admit, this last announcement is one mixed with annoyance more than anything.

It's getting a free to play option with restricted content. Basically, a never ending trial version. That's all. You'll still have to buy the game and pay subscription if you want the full experience.

The biggest reveal from the video is that almost half of the DCU development team is NOT working on the live game. 

DCU doesn't appear to be in such a stable condition that it can afford to sacrifice almost half of its developers so they can work on cash shops, RMT and paid content updates, but SOE seems to think so.

SoE seems to think people will pay blindly for an IP no matter what they do. What? Their servers are empty? Curses! foiled again!
