Play DC Universe Online For Free Starting in October
- Thread starter Marshall Honorof
- Start date
Oh, okay...
NOW I will play this game. i was one of those who liked the idea in concept but is not willing to pay a monthly fee for it. But I can get into it if it's for free. Why not?
Honestly, it wasn't selling at all but whatever. It's free now.
Now, question(s) time:
-When is CoH gonna be for free? I have heard very little about it but it sounds better than DCUO so far.
-Is it gonna be released on a console ever?
-Could we possibly hope/pray that SW:TOR will be free as well?
See, I like MMOs. But I'm not a millionaire.

Who didn't see this coming? This MASSIVELY DISSAPOINTING GAME will do good as free to play. Shit I might even give it another go. I know calling it dissapointing and then saying I'll play it anyway is stupid like all those Duke Nukem Forever fansluts, but I'm not paying for it and my friends have said its improved since launch.
The BlackSaint shall rise again.
Im gonna make Superman and Lex Luthor ever being born... For a while.

I was tempted to try DCUO when I first heard about it. The first few clips of it I saw were "okay", nothing great but maybe a good time filler.
For some reason my memory seems to have blanked I didn't get it and I am so grateful I didn't.
A friend had it so me and the wife went round for a look to see if it was worth it. He started having a little dabble around and between my fights of laughter and the look of horror on my wifes face at how they could release that shit and hope to charge AND make a lasting profit. It boggles the mind.
It looked cheap. He'd played for about a week, was level capped and had nothing to do.
Even as a free game I don't think i'll waste hard drive space.
City of Heroes is a decent game as is Champions Online (especialy the character creation) so if you want a half decent superhero MMO then try one of those. I just think DCUO will bore most fans of DC.

Definitely gonna check this out. I was never into MMORPG´s , but my love for the DC Universe compels me to give this game a try.
"SOE insists that this change is not due to a lack of subscribers. "This is the right business model," said Lorin Jameson, an executive producer for SOE. "If I can be honest, the game ended up costing a lot more than we thought it would, and this was our preferred business model from day one."
Then why didn't you start with that business model? Oh I know why, because SOE never had any intention of supporting this title, they simply wished to see how many people would be dumb enough to pay $60 plus another $15 a month for their half-made, barren, exploit-filled beat-um-up, where you spend most of your time doing the grunt work that is beneath the "real" superheros until the number of suckers dwindled.

ok here is how I see it and this is the reality all online mmo's are coming to is that in these horribly economic times people are less willing too spend an annual subscription fee for games these days unless you have a large hardcore fanbase like W.O.W your game is not going to make alot of money or get many customers mainly because alot of people just don't have the money to spend for it so be prepared to see even more mmo's go ftp
City of Heroes finally launched it's F2P/Hybrid model Tuesday last week, so go for it! They've revamped the starting areas and they're looking good, and while there are various restrictions (inevitably) on Free accounts, there's still an insanely wide selection of powersets to pick from... over 100 sets in fact. I highly recommend it.Nooners said:
And if you need a hand getting acclimatised drop me a PM and I'll get in touch ingame if you need any help.

The huge range of archetypes/classes and powersets encourages a lot of alts, and it's not uncommon for long term players to have dozens of characters, so I play a bit on all of them, well, except for the french and german language servers since I don't speak the language.
It's a good game - long established with absolutely tons of content and a combat system that's been revised and polished for years. I'd recommend it to anyone, and of course now there's literally nothing to lose in doing so.
So...when?
Okay, adding stuff so I won't get reported...
I recently got the game for free (The PS3 hard copy) and I'm kinda eager to play it. They said it would be free around October and it's ready October.
I'm getting impatient.
