DC Universe Online goes free-to-play starting Tuesday
As we learned last month, DC Universe Online is adopting the free-to-play model that's becoming more and more popular in the MMO genre. During a live webcast earlier today, it was announced that the transition is coming this Tuesday, November 1st. If you want to hear all of the juicy details for yourself, you can view the archived webcast here. There will be three levels of subscription, each with varying access to the game's content. The Legendary status is for those who still pay the standard fifteen dollars a month to play DCUO and grants you all of the DLC for no extra cost. The next step down, Premium membership, is granted after you spend at least five dollars on the in-game store and never expires once attained. Then, of course, the completely free-to-play player status has the most restrictions on just about every aspect of the game, including chat functions. You can see the complete layout of the varying membership levels here. If you have any further questions it wouldn't hurt to check out the free-to-play FAQ. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)lol i was looking here 5 minutes ago to see if destructoid posted it yet and was disappointed.
too bad f2p/premium memebers get limited cash :| Lol all it costs now is your harddrive...the install is something like 14 gb from the disc, not sure about what the download is although the beta was 14 also if I'm not mistaken. I'm only assuming that I can download the PS3 game. I won't be needing a disc or anything.
About time this came F2P. I've been dying over here on the sidelines. I enjoyed the beta but never enough to subscribe so this will be a welcomed addition to my PS3's HDD. I would rather play an MMO worth paying for, but this is the next best thing. Looking forward to giving it a try on my PS3. £5 isn't that bad for pretty much the whole game (Barring DLC.) I'd love to spend some time with this but I've got too many games going at the moment. :( They should have made it free today, so people could check it out over the weekend. I wasn't all that impressed by the game when I saw Giant Bomb's coverage, but I might kill some time with it. 2:00 AM on 05.22.2013 Yakko Warner is Bravoman in new Namco cartoonThe cartoon adaptation of ShiftyLook's Bravoman: Super-Unequaled Hero of Excellence went live on May 20, exactly 25 years to the day since the launch of the obscure TurboGrafx-16 game Bravoman upon which it was based.
