With SOE Austin’s DC Universe Online going the Free-to-Play route at the end of October, we caught up with Community Manager Tony “RadarX” Jones to chat about all things surrounding this move.  Most importantly, we talked about how it will change the way he does his job and the way the community interacts with the game as a whole. Check it out and then leave us a comment or two.

From a CM point of view, you must be a little daunted. I mean, going F2P means basically “Open the floodgates and let all the crazies rush in.” How are you planning on dealing with this new swell of people?

I personally see this as a great opportunity for DC Universe Online to open up a great game to folks who might not necessarily like the current entry point. I know the Development Team has been working hard on our servers for optimization and our forums are more than capable of sustaining a new wave of players. We are planning a warm welcome and expecting people to jump in and have a lot of fun.
