What do you guys think of DC universe online. It will relaunch as a FTP game with some restrictions. Do you think it will be a great game or is it just postpone it's death?

Let me know...

I enjoy the game alot, it was just another one of the games that didnt fall under the 15 dollar a month collum. if it was buy to play i would of been all over it.  and i will be playing it for a while at least since its ftp soon

I hope it will be a great game. I'll play it on my ps3 because of my crappy laptop and I must day i'm excited about that. Hope the controls won't suck though...

I'm not gonna play it for sure, but I think going 'Freemium' will do a lot of good to the game and attract more players than when it was subscription only. I'm not saying it'll skyrocket, because the 'main' MMO in the super-hero genre (CoX) is Freemium now as well.

I'm only wondering... What will this imply for the PS3 version of the game? Will it be distributed free now, can the ones that bought their PS3 version for a lot of money get a refund..?

It will be downloadable at the playstation store for free. Dunno about that refund probably not.. Maybe they'll get some extra's in the game. I think they get premium acces. But not the legendary acces... unless you keep paying 15 dollar a month.

Ofcourse it a yey! It is one of the coolest MMO lauched.. We all dream't to be a superhero and this is it. Well, there are restriction for f2p players unlike for those who pay why? because those who pay -> doubles the money they pay just to play the game and considering they really must be a VIP.

I haven''t played it and not sure if I want to, even free.  What is sad is those who bought the game and now people are able to DL it for free?  How does that make them feel?  I guess its no different than all the other games that I bought and now people can get it for free since it went free to play.

i believe as a Freemium model it will be way more succesful.... but i will play it only if the free restrictions are less annoying that the ones in Everquest 2 Extended.....

It will be way more popular indeed. But I think I will go for the premium version. You get less restrictions and you get it permanently when you spend for 5 euro in their shop.

Ofcourse it a yey!!!!

Why WOULDNT you play it?  its free.

Just play it until you realize the game has about 2 weeks of worthwhile content... Im a *lifetime subscriber* (bad mistake and as an original beta tester I *really* should have known better, but trusted they'd HAVE to get better) and I played it for about 2 mths before I was done.  In that time I got about a dozen characters to 30.  Its incredibly easy really and then the entire game becomes an endless, and hugely mindless, grind.  Normally I just *ignore* gear grinds, but in DCUO you kind of cant because the content is too thin and *not* grinding puts you at a staggering disadvantage in PVP.

Play it until you're over it.  Will be worthwhile considering it will cost you $0

DCUO is the only triple A title of seen where the *free trial* is literally enough to be completely done with the game

It was a "ney" as subscription based MMO.

Now, as F2P, it's definitely a "f*ck yey!"

Even as a F2P game, DCUO isn't worth the download time and HD space on my PC.

It's ok , fun as a F2P. Only pc game I actually use a controller for......mouse/keyboard in this game will lead to early stage arthritis with all the button mashing. I played it off and on, mostly out of boredom.

Not sure why this October thread got resurrected, but hey... may as well join in the fun!

What Naqaj said.  A total blast... for about 20-ish hours.  A great single player game that has some multiplayer content, as well.

Downloading all night, going to make a sexy female and play it when I get home!!!

It's free and it's sexy! Oh yes! I'm not trolling! The females on the pictures when downloading are freaking hot!

I don't care for the super hero nonsense, at all - but combat and flight is great times.

Not to mention boobies.

Playing F2P for 2 days now, and since LOTR it's the first game that is free and that you really can play. Love the customization and the whole scenario. Unfortunately the chat system is far from perfect, so there's not much socialising possible. On the EU Server 50% of the crowd speak neither english nor german, and they all wanna be heroes, so it's sometimes hard for a villain to find someone to group with - but I found a nice league now, and I guess, I will go on, Right now.

Nay...go get SWTOR.

No, Thanks!
