DC Universe Online has now gone free-to-play photo

After a short delay, Sony Online Entertainment has announced that their superhero MMO, DC Universe Online, has made the transition to a free-to-play model. I played this for about a week after it was released and, like all MMOs, seemed to just run out of time to dedicate to it. It was pretty fun while it lasted, actually, flying through the air in a crimson suit with a tommy gun. 

I know Fraser Brown has been itching to get back into DC Universe Online to see how the free-to-play shift might help the game along. Anybody else going to give it a shot now that there's no entry fee?

Downloading it as we speak, might take a day or two though.

Downloaded the ps3 version this morning and made a superheroine. Seems the game runs just fine on PS3.

Getting a name to not get rejected was the hardest part.

Downloaded last night, played for a few hours today. Not sure how long I'll stick with it but so far it's been pretty fun.

I'll wait for them to optimize it. No way am I installing 14 gigs just to play with the travel powers. (Only thing I really found fun in that game.)

I've been playing this since launch on the ps3. It's been fun watching the game grow but the psn outage killed the community. I'm excited to start on my 6th character and see the influx of new players. This will also give me extra opportunity and incentive to play more of the excellent end game content on my maxed tions.

I'm there. Did the PS3 version. Some connection issues right in the beginning, but overall seems pretty fun and the price is right.

I played the Beta of this on PS3, and honestly I thought it was pretty clunky. Then again, it was a Beta, so I'm sure they've streamlined the game since then. I just don't have enough free time for MMORPGs anymore, however.

I can't get into the game, literally after I made my character "bahamoose" but it won't actually get into the game. Servers must be really filled up.
