shu:tell us how it goes ^^
No surprise that
DC Universe Online's
player number increased after going to free-to-play. Similar to Age of
Conan, LOTRO, Global Agenda, etc, DCUO has attracted a significant
number of new players since the
launch of the F2P version this Monday.
According to SOE president John Smedley, over 120,000 PC players
registered for DCUO, bringing a 4 times increase to the concurrent
player number. SOE boss
tweeted that, "wow. Over 120k PC registrations in 2 days for DCUO PC. 4x
concurrent increase. Big TV and online campaign coming later in
November." Although Smedley didn't mention the PS3 platform, it's
believed that the player number in PS3 get boosted, too.
Though Free account can't experience all gameplay contents and extra
bonus, free players are guaranteed to have full access to the base of
the game, all updates and fixes for free. Free players who find the
interesting and worth to pay for can choose to purchase additional
contents (DCL packs and character slots), or just upgrade to Premium or
Legendary account.
Interested players can head over to the
DCUO website for more information of the gameplay and business mode.
