Just one week after DC Universe Online made the transition to free-to-play, one million new players have registered to satiate their inner superhero.
Lorin Jameson, executive director of development at SOE Austin said, "DC Universe Online's transition to free-to-play has been welcomed by the community and gamers with heroic enthusiasm...1 million new players have joined DCUO with a 50/50 split between PC and PS3."
DC Universe Online is joining the ranks of many of Sony Online Entertainment's MMOs that have adopted the free-to-play MMO model, such as Free Realms and EverQuest II in December. As with any recently free-to-play converted MMO, an influx of new players always brings in some of the energy that may have been lost during the months after its release, and that can only be a good thing. If you ever wanted to don the cowl like the Dark Knight or recite the oath of a Green Lantern, now is the time.

Why couldnt the download have been straight from the psn store so I could at least do it in the background?
Oh yeah and skyrim tomorrow means tonight might be the last for my new character for a long time.
Its fine by me, I'm happy the game is finally pulling folks in, however its kind of boring to sit there for a while -only to get dc'd from the login server, which happened a few times- when I could be having some fun elsewhere, so I'll just have to give it a better shot when people start to wane off. My villainess, Bodyshot, will have to wait for me till then (but I suspect all bets of me playing at all will be off when ToR is launched).
