DCUO sure is odd. Site says servers are up. Try to log in and it says servers are down. Sometimes I can't even connect to the login servers.

Well, I mean, I think they were unprepared, but there are two things to consider. 1) What if you go F2P, and get a bunch of stuff ready, and then not too many people come? Then you've spent a ton of money and not gotten much more income. 2) How many games going F2P have gotten people this interested? LotRO went F2P, a few people I knew checked it out. Same with WAR. DCUO goes F2P, almost ALL the PC gamers I know head to check it out. Small sample size, but food for thought.

Yeah, basically what SixTwoSixFour said. MMOs get a HUGE surge in traffic and revenue when they go F2P (Age of Conan quadrupled its revenue or something when it went F2P).

Yes, but what I'm saying is that out of all the games I've played that were P2P-gone-F2P, DCUO is the only game I've seen that seems to have these problems.
I played LOTRO and Warhammer when they went F2P and the amount of server problems they had were small compared to DCUO.
