The brilliant minds at Sony Online Entertainment have decided to give players the option between 3 different access levels on the current DC Universe Online MMO game. The idea is to give the players an option between 3 different subscription levels. The have released an official statement stating that. "When we launched DC Universe Online, we introduced a very different brand of massive online game driven by fast action combat to PC and PS3 gamers and wit that, we discovered a new type of online gamer. We've listened to our community, and we've determined that the free-to-play model is the best fit for DC Universe Online," saind John Smedley, President of Sony Online Entertainment.

Lets be serious, you offer a service for free and people are going to be all over it! The one thing about Sony is that they won't try and force a subscription charge down your throat if they don't have to. Sorry X-Box, I never liked X-Box Live, but you guys are still the most secure....as far as we know now!! Well here is an official breakdown of the three subscription levels if your feeling antsy to really know!


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 USD (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.
