It’s the gift and the curse of making an MMO around a popular, existing property and turning it free-to-play. Yes, now everyone who had even a passing interest in running around as a superhero in the DC Universe is going to download the game, make at least one character, and play through the tutorial. I know I was one of the 120,000 who subscribed over the first 48 hours after DC Universe Online went free-to-play. That said, as prepared as they thought they were, the sudden influx of interest caused hitherto unprecedented crashes for the game’s servers.
