I'm sure someone's already started a thread on this (though I'm too lazy to look!) but if not I'm surprised.
I'm excited for an MMO to finally feature my favorite comic characters, and be able to fight alongside them! My question now is...can I be a Legionnaire!
I met with their reps in San Diego, and the Legion is not in the immediate future, so to speak. When the game launches, probably at least a year from now, it'll be Gotham and Metropolis, with some special zones such as Thanagar as a special fighting area and the Temple of Isis and Arkham Asylum as PvP areas.
Paradise Island and Atlantis were the possible expansion packs he mentioned.
The Legion is certainly a possibility, though, he said. They have access to the entire DCU. They haven't worked out the character creation tool (at least they hadn't by San Diego), so who knows what you can make yourself?

If it comes close to the one in CoH I can guarantee you that there will be a veritable Legion of Vee's Legion running around the DCU!

I got one of my favorite pieces of swag from the DCUO booth. A pen with a Bat signal laser pointer in the cap.

I'm pretty sure their characters are unavailable for gameplay, unless you're a creator of insider of some kind...I'd love to play Anarky!(obscure!...but not really...do a wikipedia, seriously)
But anyway I'm not worried about what their plans are, since they have time and the resources to do it right. I love that Jim Lee is doing a lot for it, I give him a pat on the back!

I've never played a MMO game thing before but if I can *finally* sort out my fast-speed internet access in time for this one I might sign up. Will be fun to play alongside DCU characters I think.

I can wait either. Still having fun but it would be really great to be able to team with some of my favorite heroes.

I eagerly await this too, its been taking too long but if the wait was for improvement and it plays well, then the wait was worth it.

Free to play? If that turns out to be true, I may have to try it. Like Blacula, I've never played an MMO before, but I'd kind of like to hang out in Gotham for while. I wonder if you could play one of Oracle's operatives?

I heard a rumour it's going to cost $14.95 a month to play, and PC and PS3 players can't play together.
Anyone know what City of Heroes costs per month? I've been thinking of checking it out. They've got a 14 day free trial and the Architect Edition is cheap and comes with a month free.

Arachne, most MMO's are around 15 a month (COH is one of them). I am pretty active in the gaming community so I can confirm a few things (I gets me some insider info The "rumour" that PC and PS3 players cannot play together is not a rumour, it is fact unless something changes dramaticly between now and the release date. The developers are also in talks with Microsoft to put the game on the 360, but MS are balking at the deal (they don't like the idea of people having access to an online game without paying for xbox live. This is the main sticking point. The DCUO people want the game accessable to everyone who subscribes and MS only want gold members to have access.) The Idea of a Legion expansion is on the table (along with several others) as possible expansions. If there proves to be a demand for legion, we may get to see them.
As it stands we will be recieving "missions" from established DC heros, in a similiar vein to what we see with COH.
If I hear anything new that has not been released, I'll fill you all in. (BTW, I am really looking forward to this game!!)
