I was a long time advocate of the game until they made their scaling/flattening changes back in GU 47. I won't be back. Yes yes, I know QQ Pikachu ...
Best wishes to those that have stuck it out though. The cross platform play is something I know many have been hoping for since before the game was even launched. Good to hear that it's finally becoming a reality.

I doubt you play this game or you prolly aren't good at it. Its a great game and console did wonders for it.
What do you mean console did wonders for it, it was built specifically for console
"And so, we wish a Happy 5th Anniversary to DC Universe
Online! ... Will you be playing DCUO this year?" Yep, I still used to play a couple hours once in a while, to keep the client up to date, though I like CO more.
True, this change list is like for closing the gap 4th colour, account-wide cosmetics and leveling gear are all present in CO. And with the water powerset they're overtaking actually, CO doesn't have that yet. Also with the Harley-specific update, I mean, who doesn't love Harley?
Cross-platform is a good news for us PC folks (since the majority is on PS), will have lot more people in the world and in the queue. So yep, for the closing Bill question, I will play DCUO this year. I'd even sub, but Landmark is stucked and I don't really play PS2 lately, so All-Access means nothing to me unfortunately... (I don't EQ)
Kind of lame i put money into pc side then realized the ps scene had way more pop so switched to ps4 but missed the control and smoother performance of pc.
Was hoping cross play meant like final fantasy cross play in that the accounts would be shared. Oh well time to get my cr up on pc side since i will be getting station cash and planetside 2 perks. If ps2 didn't have draw distance problems id probably campaign for ps4 users to get some sort of bundle.
Though City of Heroes is still the best game I have ever played, and best Superhero MMO by far, DCUO is fun. I used to play on PC but quit a couple years back, just started again on Xbox One and having a blast with my friends on Xbox!
I would like to warn youths and especially parents of youths that look to this game/product to be aware that the community - especially on the villain side - are a toxic cesspool of verbal pornography, racial slurs and personal attacks that the community who play the game feel to be the norm.
I ask parents and adults who wish to explore this product, to first make a free to play account, get into the Hall of Doom (especially) or the main Gotham or Metropolis global chat hubs and sit for an hour and just read the cesspool of remarks, comments and unrestrained commentry you read as it splashes across the chat channels for everyone (including your kids who do, or you may consider to play the game) and ask yourself; Do you really want your child to be influenced by this sort of content and participate in this sort of provocative dialect?
I've had the game for a fair few years and only recently in the last 2 months actually started playing the game and cannot believe the flamboyancy the players and community have no fear of any retribution or discipline regarding what is said or how in your face much of the talk you read publically for all ages to see.
What's more, the global chats and community will remain unrestrained as Daybreak human resources no not have any active moderators or staff to actually monitor these open channels and therefore any parents who either have children who play the game already, or are thinking about their children being exposed to this product, are being warned that this is what the community is like and, to be honest, log in yourself to explore and experience this yourself and manage your childrens social networking.
I have recently been suspended for a few days, my reason being I retaliated to one of these toxic community trash bodies who had decided to harass me after he and his league had booted me from a raid that had taken me 8 hours to queue for just out of spite because he had his league buddies in the raid and i was the odd one out. I had done nothing at the time, got angry for being booted then did nothing further. Around 24 hours later, I had a message out of the blue from this toxic body who decided to then troll, harass and taunt me to the point where I retaliated in a private message to then have my account suspended.
I accept that I acted in rage and anger that this little cesspool had goaded me into losing my temper just because he felt the need to go out of his way to attack someone personally.
However, what makes me very angry is that the community for a long time now - i've noticed this on my return - that anything goes from language, sexual implications and racism, slurs and personal attacks and the Daybreak team no not enforce the public channels, nor monitor them, nor player conduct and leave reporting - if any - to the player. Majority of the player base I believe know this and possibly don't report other players so that this direction of the downward spiral continues.
If you are a parent and DO have your kids play this product, or are considering, I suggest looking for yourself in regard to the chat channels and decide if this is the sort of environment you want to expose your family too.
