I'm not skeptical about DCUO, I know it is a dead game on the PC. It's good for the PS3 crowd who only play 1-2hrs a day. But the real MMO players that frequent here know it sucks. No amount of "free" content is going change how fast you level and how easy the "end-game" is. SOE has gotten all the $$$$ they can from the loyal DCUO players with the DLC and now are releasing it for free. Bet that makes all those who paid for it real happy.

Originally posted by Kabaal Their all new sony station server status page would beg to differ http://www.soe.com/status/ Having one "mega-"server at medium and the rest at low at 5pm on the east coast is worse than before the mega-servers were put in. At least back then you had 9 pc servers at low and one at medium in the US.

Oh and no one has paid for the DLC so you are wrong there. LOL at "real mmo players"

If anyone has been a little skeptical about this game, now is trully the time to give it a shot! oh wow what a favor. it's like a content patch in an mmo but without the massive queue times on patch day. come on!!! Yes, games that I play to pass the time should be time-consuming. That's why I play them.

Originally posted by Kabaal Their all new sony station server status page would beg to differ http://www.soe.com/status/ Just to keep things in perspective. While the DCU US servers are listed at "high", the Vanguard server is also listed as "Medium" and Vanguard doesn't have more than a few hundred players online. If less than 300 people constitutes Medium server loads, what does it take to get to Heavy?

That SOE server list is kind of funny, even PS3 DCU looks half-dead from that. SOE has always set a certain measurement to light, med, heavy (they actually changed the threshold in SWG shortly after the NGE was launched). In City of Heroes the Freedom and Virtue servers hits 2 dots (3 dots is full) every evening and /search brings up 600-800 players, and during double xp weekend or events 3 dots usually bring up 2000+ players- and that game is reaching 7 years old. SWTOR: sub ended, no thanks to Georg Zoeller! R.I.P. SWG June 26, 2003-Dec 15, 2011 (it already died on Nov 15, 2005)

I've almost picked this game up twice now because the PvP was heard to be awesome (and I love superheroes). But I turned away both times due to A) SONY sucking it hardcore and B) the PvP cheats that let people gear up illegally. I will wait for a free trial.

I would love to give this game another shot now that the lantern powers are out, but I really need an answer to the following question before I resub: Is the Fight for the Light pack free for new and returning players? The info I have seen thus far makes it sound like it's only going to be free for people with active subs on patch day.

DarkShadow74 Hard Core Member Joined: 4/13/06 Posts: 100	9/07/11 5:06:06 PM#20 Report this post Explain why you are reporting this post: (750 characters max.) I am looking for a game to play right now, and I do have DCUO, I got it back when it came out. I am looking for a game where I can have a ton of Socializition. And when I played right after the SOE mess up, there was like no one around, and it was hard to find a league to join etc. So my question is should I and would it be worth coming back knowing what I am looking for?
