Sony Details "Make Good" Plan for DC Universe Online

Sony's "Make Good" plan for DC Universe Online will give players a month of free play and some pretty snazzy fledermaus-inspired headgear.

Sony Online Entertainment promised back in DC Universe Online [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/109602-SOE-Promises-to-Make-Amends-to-PS3-MMO-Players-for-PSN-Outage] downtime resulting from the PlayStation Network/SOE security breach. At the time, the bone-throwing was slated to begin on April 30 and although that turned out to be a bit optimistic, the company has at least now told us what DCUO players have to look forward to.

"First, all impacted players will receive 30 days subscription credit plus one day for each day the service was unavailable," SOE wrote on the DC Universe Online Facebook page [http://www.facebook.com/notes/dc-universe-online-the-official-game-page/dcuo-and-the-make-good-plan/10150586814665717]. "Also every impacted player will receive a Batman-inspired mask appearance item. Please bear with us as the complexities of the subscription server dictate how and when this will be available along with pertinent details."

Sony promised to release more details this week and, as has become the habit, thanked everyone again for their patience. I'm not sure if it qualifies as "patience" when there's simply no other option available, which will remain the case for the foreseeable future: SOE is "working around the clock to restore operations as quickly as possible" but gave no indication as to when service will be restored.

This better be for the PC version as well. No-one can get on due to Station being down.

And the mask better be colourable, blue doesn't work well on NOTION.

That mask is bad-ass!! Way better than those ridiculous Guy Fawkes masks.

But what's up with the Batwoman mask? I didn't know there was a Batwoman. I though Batman was knocking boots with Catwoman.

EDIT: I have learned that there is in fact a Batwoman. She is both Jewish and lesbian. Who knew?

So when does the free service become enacted? Or whatever the word is.

Once you go Blue, You always stay true.

Green iz best! WAAAAAAAGH!

Anyway, I guess this means there's going to be lots of players with names like "B47M4N" running around.

There already are hundreds, but you can't get the Bat Emblem until you do the Batcave run at level 30.

I assume by good plans the spokesperson means they wont lose all their information

The funny thing is Batwoman was 1st introduced in order to try and prove that 'Batman is not gay'. Then, in time, they made her a lesbian. Weird development.

There's actually Batgirl, Batwoman, The Huntress (Lesbian ex-Batwoman) and Oracle (who's the ex-batgirl). And a female Robin AFAICR.

If they were interested in convincing me that Batman isn't gay, they should have killed off Robin. That would have more convincing effect than the introduction of Batwoman.

And Batdog. The possibilities are endless.

And the female Robin you're referring to is Stephanie Brown. She didn't last very long in that role. In fact, I believe Batman explicitly told her that she failed her trial period.

That and she was distracting Robin from more weighty matters.

I would take the 30 days plus package, Sony can keep the mask.

True, but Robin was and still is a waaaay too popular character to kill off. Besides they would simply have someone else take the mantle, like they did twice(or even thrice if you count Stephanie Brown) before.

Batwoman was the only character who got created specifically so that Batman could be 'so not gay despite having Robin by his side all the time'. Of course, later writers changed that, because she was introduced all the way back in the Silver Age of comics, IIRC.

Stephanie Brown became batgirl two years ago and I got to admit, she doing a hell of a job.
