DC Universe Online rolling out megaservers on Monday

@(Unverified)

If you took the time to think of an interesting, original name, this won't be much of a problem.

@Cam L Tow The 50,000 trolls that come out of the woodwork whenever DCUO is mentioned must be excited for the chance to make their "do people still play this?" joke. With such biting wit, I'm surprised they don't write for Jay Leno, Carrot Top, Dane Cook, or Carlos Mencia.

@Furdinand You win. See you on the PS3 version if that's where you are. Look for Combustion Kid. Fire DPS.

@evanset6

Lol, what does he win? A chance to play a crappy, shallow game that 'triple dips' what few players they have left? If you call that winning you two should call Charlie Sheen and ask to buy some tiger blood laced with Adonis DNA.

@BubleFett

Pretty much. I cancelled last month due to the paid dlc announcement and not being able to get group content done. I keep tabs on the forums for any interesting announcements (f2p or reversal on paid dlc) and all I ever see are the same dozen or so lifetime subscribers. I have a hard time believing even they'll be around after the next batch of anticipated games comes out.

@BubleFett Shorter queues is the enticement. So much of the pve game has been basically unavailable for the last 2 updates due to the low population.
The pvp game has been unavailable almost since the start because people stopped queuing due to the rampant exploits. For a lot of gamers, pvp is the game so for them DCUO was a nonstarter which is a shame. The combat system should lend itself to really exciting and dynamic pvp which would be the player expandable content that makes up for the pve content that takes up relatively little time. You get more people online for longer periods of time, making it more likely that there will be enough people on at any given time to form a raid or alert group.
Introducing Megaservers is the stabilization action need in order to allow the things that grow the game take root. The only way it matters in long run is if they put out raid and other pve content out as fast as players can complete their tier sets and if they ensure that there is an active effort to keep pvp fair (if they banned a single person for cheating, they were really quiet about it).

@BubleFett I re subbed on the announcement. Played last night and came to the sad realization that low population was a symptom of larger problems with the game.

@Godsafk

Might want to check your account history to make sure it hasn't just been auto renewing all this time...

@SiML

In all honesty, I was the biggest defender and advocate of DCUO when if first went live, especially on the forums. I bought it the day it came out, and even stood by while the "Pistol Glitch" ran wild all over the servers, but at this time, I have to agree with you. 100%.

Its simply too little, too late.

The potential this game had was amazing, and it actually makes me angry SoE let it slip through their fingers like Sand.

Unbelieveable.

@Faction 3

Given their track record with SWG... I am not terribly surprised.

I will say though, based off of how many companies have had a REALLY hard time getting excellent, well-established IP's to flourish in the MMO world ... it must be a tough job to find success creating online games.
