That said, I expect this to change in the next couple of weeks. The queues for high level alerts were not much shorter and the same goes for PvP. While I’m sure there are some former max level players who have returned to see what’s changed, most of the new players are still getting to grips with the game and haven’t made it to my neck of the woods yet. This new player boom hasn’t had such a drastic impact on the end game, however. For the time being, the population problems seem to be over. Flying over mission areas I could see a whole plethora of new heroes and villains competing and cooperating. Questions, insults, pleas, it felt like an MMO again. The frequently dead chat was now bursting with conversation. The moment I got into the game the difference was immediately noticeable. For the first time ever I actually had to queue to get into the game, I didn’t have to wait for long though. It’s still early days, so it might not last, but right now the game is busier than it has been since early last year.
#Dcuo hold the line free
But he’s no snob, he’ll work with anyone.Īs expected, and hoped, SOE’s decision to make DCUO free to play has caused a population explosion. While the ever expanding list of heroes were likely to make the world a safer place, Zentarim wondered at the integrity of his new comrades, with their names being thinly veiled sexual innuendo and racial slurs. Everywhere he went he was bumping into new heroes, quite literally, many of them seemed a tad lost. After destroying an army of sinister toy robots, our humble hero - Zentarim - decided to take a cue from his work-shy Kryptonian pal and chill out in the Watchtower, perhaps even do a spot of shopping. In fact, that lazy bugger seems to spend most of his time just hanging out in the Watchtower or getting his arse handed to him by Lex Luthor. Even Superman needs to get some R&R every now and then. Heroes can’t spend all of their time fighting. Has this move made much difference to the game? Will Zentarim make some new, poor friends? Read on and find out. SOE’s promise of an October launch for its free to play service fell through, but finally, on November 2, DC Universe Online went free to play.


#Dcuo hold the line full
The last time we saw him he had been given the honor of joining the Justice League as a full member and he was busy training to be the best space cowboy a moon man can be. It has been some time since we followed the exploits of the cosmically sexy Green Lantern reservist, Zentarim. (If you need to catch up, here are the first and second parts of Zentarim’s heroic adventures)
