flameboy Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Legend Pricing For Legendary DCUO Players SO you saying its £19.99 now for 90 days right? thats not to bad actually....hmmmm tempted...although my 30 days that comes in the box wouldn't be expired until after this offer ends.
Happenstance Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Yeah thats the point I think. Its an offer for people who bought the game when it first came out.
flameboy Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Yeah thats the point I think. Its an offer for people who bought the game when it first came out. sucks...although guess they are rewarding early adopters...
Happenstance Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Fuckers! I just got charged for another month on the game because it was set to auto renew without telling me!
Choze Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Fuckers! I just got charged for another month on the game because it was set to auto renew without telling me! Monthly subs are like that it seems. Make sure you change it again if you do a sub. I buy separate cards/Prepaid or per deal nowadays because i keep forgetting to cancel. Done it countless times on WOW. On wow you cant cancel because it cancels your current active playtime too... Now I just use those prepaid methods. good luck.
Happenstance Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I would expect it from a monthly subscription where I signed up and put in my card details but not one where you buy your subscription off the PSN.
Cookyman Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Fuckers! I just got charged for another month on the game because it was set to auto renew without telling me! Go into your account settings and change it there. Playstation + members will all automatically get memberships renewed if they don't change their settings there.
Happenstance Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Yeah ive already cancelled the auto renew, not really helping me now though. It just should have told you when you first started.
flameboy Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Yeah ive already cancelled the auto renew, not really helping me now though. It just should have told you when you first started. Really hate to say this but it does say it in the terms and conditions...I read an article somewhere about it and saying to bare it in mind. I'm not saying you should have read this because hell nobody does!
Happenstance Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 It just honestly does seem weird to me with the system they use of having the subscription cards on the PSN for you to buy
Happenstance Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Game seems to have a freezing problem now since the latest update, I only got a few minutes in and it froze on me.
Happenstance Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Well, playing it on my own ive really enjoyed it. Building your character up and doing missions with other DC heroes/villians is fun. Ive only tried playing with someone else once but it was a complete mess, we couldnt talk properly or set missions to go on. Saying that though I dont see that many people complaining about it anymore and they all seem to get together to play so its possibly something we just need to get used to and figure out. I havent tried since the freeze last time I played but im hoping that wont happen everytime I play until its fixed!
Happenstance Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Looks like the Lantern powers are finally being introduced: http://www.newsarama.com/games/dcu-online-fight-for-the-light-110711.html
Happenstance Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 DC Universe Online Going Free to Play If the proposition of buying DC Universe Online and then paying a monthly fee has been keeping you away from Sony Online Entertainment's MMO, prepare to enter Gotham City next month. In October, DC Universe Online goes free to play. Both PlayStation 3 and PC players will be able to download and play the game for free. Three tiered levels will act as the game's revenue source from there along with in-game microtransactions. Here's the official breakdown from SOE. Free New players will now have access to the current gameplay in DC Universe Online (including Gotham City, Metropolis, and all current raids and alerts), with the ability to create two characters, join a league and many other benefits. Free level players will be able to purchase downloadable game packs/updates, additional character slots, powers and more through microtransactions. Premium Any player who has spent at least $5 (including former paid subscribers and new players who have purchased $5 of in-game items) will qualify for the Premium access level. Premium level players will have more benefits available to them than the Free level player, including additional character slots, additional inventory slots, and higher cash limits. Downloadable adventure packs, additional character slots, and more can be purchased in-game. Legendary Maximum features and benefits are included at this level. Loaded with enhanced additional features, Legendary access will be available for a $14.99 monthly fee and includes all DLC packs at no cost, more than 15 character slots, more than 80 inventory slots, the ability to form unrestricted-sized leagues, and many other benefits. If you've already paid for a PC lifetime subscription or a PS3 plan, that deal still stands when this switch happens in late October. This event also marks the end of DCUO's mandatory auto-renew feature. In the past, the game would automatically resubscribe you when your subscription lapsed. That's still an option, but it's no longer mandatory -- a result of the more than 40 percent of people who quit EverQuest II and complained about the auto-renew in a SOE survey. "We decided 'Let's listen to them'," said John Smedley, SOE president. "I don't know about you, but my credit card statement every month is this amalgam of s*** of MMOs that I'm too lazy to cancel. What we want is to offer people a way to not worry about that." The announcement of the free to play move comes just seven months after SOE released DC Universe Online. SOE wouldn't go into the exact number of subscribers currently playing the game, but Smedley said numbers are up since the move to megaservers and that free to play was not in response to subscriber numbers. "In terms of 'Is it a result in a drop in subs' – absolutely not," he said. "This is the right business model. 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." If you're a stickler for fair play, SOE said you don't have to worry about microtransactions breaking the game. Super-powerful items such as Superman's raid suit will not be purchasable and experience won't be for sale in October. The experience will be similar to Free Realms' free to play model, SOE said, and you can expect to see it in games that are out now and future releases. "We are really seeing the benefits of free to play, and we're really liking it," Smedley said. "Needless to say we're paying close attention to it and maybe looking to make some surprise moves a little later." http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/119/1195161p1.html Well it looks like i'll be playing DCUO again then. Shame I deleted the 17 gigs worth of stuff I had to download the first time though, gonna have to get it all back again now
Cookyman Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 You beat me to it - was just about to post this.
flameboy Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I read this news on another site and was already to track down a cheap disk copy before realising that the IGN article the original source says its free to download and play, much like Free Realms (which as far as I know is still yet to hit Europe?)
Daft Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 I'm so on this. Enjoyed the Beta but never wanted to actually pay for it.
Happenstance Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I hope its communication has been patched since me and ReZ tried joining up to play. We just never managed to get anything to work, we were going to different quests and didnt seem to be able to communicate without going through awkward menus.
Choze Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 This is good news for many people. The game is very good but it will struggle if it stayed sub only. Its very combat focused and it lacks content compared to say WOW (everything does :P). The game has been patched and improved considerably since launch. Servers are now merged so more people etc. The catch is you pay for bits oyu want to play i.e DLC but you can ignore most bits and just enjoy the game.
Happenstance Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Its been announced that the game will go free to play on both PS3 and PC on November 1st
flameboy Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Its been announced that the game will go free to play on both PS3 and PC on November 1st Yeah good news! Although it's come at a crazy busy time! I definitely plan on getting into this. We need to make sure we are all on the same server for improved fun times!
flameboy Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 I went to set this off to download this today and it's still £39.99 to download despite their assurances it would be free. Checked the US store and it's free on there but didn't download it on there as didn't expect it would work as Free Realms didn't connect to servers when trying to use the US version. Maybe it will go free when the store updates later today.
Happenstance Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Yeah I expect it will go free tonight. I'll reinstall my copy then and leave the updates to download overnight as theres quite a few gigs if I remember right.
flameboy Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Yeah I expect it will go free tonight.

Yeah...the green lantern dlc is on there and free even though it's paid in US wonder if they got it mixed up somehow.
