We already know that over 120,000 PC users joined DC Universe Online in 24 hours after the Sony Online Entertainment title went free-to-play, but now the publisher’s revealing more about how big the shift has been for them.
In the week since DCUO became free-to-play, one million new would-be metahumans have joined the game’s ranks. And that number is evenly split between PC and PlayStation 3 players. Of course, there’s limits on what you get as a free member but you can always upgrade to Premium or Legendary if you want to be a one-person Legion of Superheroes and access all the incoming DLC packs.

Saturday, November 12, 2011 at 11:03 AMI downloaded it, played it for a bit and then paid for a month up front. Then I got out into the world and was appalled at the lag – I’m not sure if it’s the influx of new players or what but at times the game gets so laggy you cant even attack enemies. That’s if they even show up at all, in which case you just take damage from thin air and die.
When it’s running OK, it’s a lot of fun – but with the occasional server lag and downtime – I won’t be subscribing again, which is too expensive anyway.

Monday, April 16, 2012 at 11:23 AMWell, I just got done downloading it. It took about 4hours and 15,411 GB. And now when i create my character it’s VERY laggy. But i read before hitting play it said ” Maintence notic: Wednesday, april 11, 2011. (0)” And at the top latest news was “Unsheduled server maintenance 4.17.2012. Today is 4.15.2012.” So is that why??
