As of today, we no longer sell episodes for DC Universe Online. Individual episodes, the episode bundles, and the Ultimate Edition have been removed from our web store, our console partners' stores, and the in-game Marketplace. We previously confirmed that we plan to stop selling episodes, make episodes free to all players, and update membership benefits before our next major release this summer. This is the first part of that plan. Originally, we did intend to make these changes all at once. However, after review and feedback, we decided to change course to make sure no one feels unfairly treated if they were to purchase an episode that is soon after made free. What does this mean for you specifically? For now and the next months: If you subscribe to membership, there are no changes. If you have purchased episodes previously, there are no changes. You still have full access to those episodes. If you have not purchased episodes, you will not be able to. If you are in that third group, remember that: Open Episodes continues. This means everyone can play any episode and progress. Episode 40: World of Flashpoint is free by default, with high-level, end-game versions and with level-agnostic event versions for everyone. And just as a final note, the core of this transition plan remains intact. Episodes will become entirely free and membership will see an update before our next major release. Power Bundle With today's changes, the Power Bundle now includes Water (power), Shield (weapon), and Skimming (movement mode). New purchases will immediately include access to these features. If you previously purchased the Power Bundle, you will receive access to these features over the next week. Questions or comments? Join the discussion below!
Thank you Mepps. I am a PC Premium Player and bought all episodes and Ultimate Edition during the years of play. No changes for me except in the next week I finally I have water power included.
Interesting. I hope we find out soon what the membership update is Also, we must be getting close to an announcement about next episode?
Cool, but I really hope you guys knock it out of the park with the membership overhaul! And hopefully we hear about that soon..
Wait, is this mean that when open episodes are over i will no longer be able to play episodes that i don't buy before this closure?
But i can't open specific episode chests without buying this episode, my lower cr chars dont receive episode's invitation message and quest when reach CR needed for "open" episode what i didn't buy...
Episodes are going to be free going forward and old ones aswell, you'll get the quests. Free episodes is not going anywhere. Member chests are member chests though, these will always be member only.
No. Episodes will be made entirely free for everyone in the future and open episodes won't turn off before then. Not really - everyone will just own all of the episodes in the near future.
As in "Lifetime memberships will still have all available subscriber benefits" or "Lifetime membership rewards will stay static as is, with none of the upcoming benefit changes affecting it"? I think either scenario could technically be "no changes". I would have to imagine it's the former.
There are no changes to membership or lifetime membership today, which I presumed was what the question was about. The not-announced upcoming changes to membership will also apply to lifetime membership. The only thing lifetime membership has that's different from regular membership is that regular memberships end and must be renewed after a month/etc., where lifetime memberships end when you die or we die and cannot be renewed.
hello for open dlc for all its realy cool but whats about base and utility belt if no more sale dlcs how ppl with premium can play with out base and utility belt?
Episodes are being removed from the stores, but nothing else. You can still purchase features like the lair system, utility belt, powers, etc. from the store.
Are you telling me that when I die I will not be able to able to pass on my Dcuo Lifetime membership to my favored child, along with my 30-year collection of Bazooka Joe Bubble gum wraps?
