@mmark I played the FFXI Bard for years and it's got nothing on EQ's. Kite or tank? (Maybe with /NIN sub, but then again, every job could, with /NIN sub.) Try even moving after you've started playing a song and you've just heard that same ol' tune for nothing. Being swapped in and out of parties to buff everyone else for zergs was about all Bards became needed for, because face it, we were always "second fiddle" to RDM.
You (Dan) do realize that beta-testing isn't merely for your (Dan's) benefit, don't you? Its purpose is to polish the product for everyone to enjoy, particularly the developers, by having a product that'll not only be received well, but sell. Sorry if I don't sympathize with your plight then.
And you don't like to pay for a game from the get-go and yet you don't like to be left in the dust by friends who do? Sorry if I don't understand how you're gonna resolve that conflict.
monitor has it right. PlayStation Plus is a paid premium content package for PS3 users, similar to Xbox Live Gold, meaning there will only be the monthly subscription to play DC Universe Online.
