Larry Liberty, who is in fact not a super hero himself but the Executive Producer for DC Universe Online, has stepped up to the forums today to issue a notice for players of DC Universe, specifically those who play on the PS3 servers in the United States. Due to heavy load brought on by the … Continue reading “[DC Universe] SOE Working On US PS3 Server Issues”
Sony Online Entertainment has an early Christmas/Holiday present for you, well as long as you are an ex-subscriber. Over the past year, DC Universe Online has added in three DLC packs, 14 game updates, with another DLC pack (Home Turf, containing player housing) on the way. So to celebrate the holidays, Sony is offering a … Continue reading “Come Back To DC Universe Until January 16th”
As part of a measure to keep all of their games in-line with one another, Sony Online Entertainment announced today that Legendary (subscriber) members of DC Universe Online are in for a treat. Starting April 3rd all Legendary players will receive a monthly “allowance” of 500 Station Cash on PC or Loyalty Points on PS3. … Continue reading “DC Universe Legendary Is Even More Legen – Wait For It…”
I love combat as much as the next person, but any MMO needs things to do in the off time between snapping Batman’s spine or turning The Joker into kebabs with your mighty blades of glory. So crafting in DC Universe has been a long time coming, oft talked about but not in much detail … Continue reading “DC Universe Introduces Crafting!”
If tweets carried a physical representation, the updates by John Smedley today would look not unlike grasping critics by the hair and smearing their faces in Sony’s statistics. Earlier today, Smedley tweeted a few of DC Universe’s accomplishments since its move to free to play: Over 100% pre-f2p concurrent users. 6% growth daily. 700% increase … Continue reading “DC Universe F2P Fun Facts, And Vanguard Free To Play?”

Someone better call Queen Latifah, because DC Universe players are bringing down the house. Literally! The US servers were in a state of limbo yesterday, going up and down as players flooded in to see Superman break Bane’s back, or vice versa. In response, Deadmeat has posted an announcement on the DC Universe forums: As … Continue reading “DC Universe F2P Just Too Popular, Server Down”
DC Universe is something of a lone duck in the industry. With Champions Online free to play and City of Heroes making the transition later this year, I’ve speculated before that Sony following with a similar model was only a matter of time. Of course you could also look at John Smedley’s statement that freemium … Continue reading “DC Universe Heading Free to Play In October”
As my emails have shown, I’m not the only one still confused about DC Universe’s upcoming server merger/melding on Monday. Previously, I presumed that this not-merge-merger would allow players to keep their names, as the servers weren’t merging. As it turns out, however, that is not the case. When the mergers go live on Monday, … Continue reading “DC Universe Server Mergers, Name System, Phasing”
I’d love it if WordPress didn’t write my URL before I’ve finished writing the title for the post. DC Universe today launched its move into microtransactions. Right now the game only offers three items, with more on the way no doubt. The items are proto-bots offering convenient repair on the go, vault tickets offering access … Continue reading “DC Universe Adds Microtransactions”
