If the early returns are any
indication, DC Universe Online's free-to-play conversion is looking
pretty successful. Sony Online Entertainment boss John Smedley
recently tweeted that the superhero MMO picked up 120,000 new player
registrations since its Tuesday evening cutover.
Smedley also said that concurrent
users swelled 400% during the same time period. The one downside to
the title's newfound popularity is the login queues. Earlier this
year SOE consolidated all of the game's launch-day shards down to a
few "megaservers" and PC Gamer reports that login queues
are paying the price as a flood of F2P tire-kickers descends on
Gotham City and Metropolis en masse.
