    They should make that the new jail. If you’re suspended, you can still log in but you get stuck in the old closed off broker with all chat , ques and warps disabled. All you can do is just stand there and look at a wall.

    Let's see.... thinking back to the PS3 days....

    1) I remember.... when you had to buy the actual game. I think I bought the disc for $60... and what do you know? After that I still had to pay for a membership...

    2) ... when you had to roll for loot that dropped after final boss fights.

    3) ... it actually took ages to level up your CR. Not like today where you can basically rank up 2 - 3 CR in a day.

    4) ... there were no "event" , "regular" or "elite" level raids.... seemed like every raid was elite level. Thus it was so hard for PUG groups to complete them.

    5) ... when Exobytes were the latest thing. It was all about blue and red stacks and everyone was farming Gotham and Metropolis for them.

    6) ... the power trees....

    7) Before there were daily scheduled maintenance times... the game would sometimes just go down without any proper warming and be off for ... what I recall ... to be days at a time. I often felt that they should have extended our memberships by the number of days the game was offline... but they never did.

    Great times! ;)

    Remember when tvs were not flat and had poison gas in them in which you had to turn a fine tune dial to pick up 4 diffrent tv channels .
    Remember when cartridge console systems had no load screens at all.
    Remember when you walk along a road and real life people nodded and said hello instead of staring at a touch screen device oblivious to any ones existence .
    Remember when you just ran upto exobyte materials and they automatically jump into you inventory.
    Remember when seasonal collections were under 1,000.
    Good times good times.

    I remember playing villainside on Death & Glory with PvP popping all day long.

    And I remember, at that exact same time, we lacked the Task Force X queues and so I had to create two accounts, with subscriptions required, just so that I could partner with myself and solo the Duos to get my minimal amount of marks from completing the weeklies, because group PvE content did not pop for villains.

    Lol, or like in GTA 5 cheaters are forced to wear a dunce cap, i wish in DCUO cheaters are forced to wear a dunce cap and a strykers island jumpsuit.

    How annoying could that be sometimes... That one guy always seemed to get everything....:mad:


    And, sometimes, you'd get the piece... and putting it on caused you to dc... o_O

    this being my first mmo i thought it would be smart to develop a well rounded character by decking myself out in a combination of pvp ,pve, troll and dps gear...all at the same time.

    Back then, anything could cause a player to dc.... actually, it's still like that today! Good to know that SOME things haven't changed!

    I remember back when:

    1. we could use the yellow crystals in Robinson's Park to build supercharges while queuing for a raid

    2. there was an opening above the teleporters of each wing allowing us to fly or run over them

    3. you could only do so much in a day because Replay Badges weren't a thing

    4. Pengbot Maximus was the hardest boss in the Gotham Old Subway

    5. Mental and Hard Light were the "go-to" powers for Origin Crisis raids (don't remember the specifics but I think it involved the Light Weight)

    6. you could only earn gear associated with your Mentor (meaning if you're Meta, you couldn't buy Tier 2 Dark Specter armor)

    7. Fire Tanks were insta-kicked from Nexus of Reality raids

    8. you're leveling and find a strange looking rock that you could pick up despite not having Super Strength; afterwards you notice a little skull icon beside your name; before you knew it you were attacked by a level 30 player whom after defeating you would "teabag" you

    9. you could "teabag" the defeated in PVP (good times LOL)

    10. there was a glitch in Smallville that allowed the player to remain as Doomsday making the actual Doomsday fight a hilarious cakewalk

    And to find your friends during the summer, you just looked for the pile of bicycles in front of the house while riding yours.
    Or to find out if your friend was even home, you went there and knocked on the door.

    Remember when TVs had to warm up before you could watch anything on the three-to-four available channels? :D

    I remember real skill levels in game.
    Feating Prime in a modded CR75 suit.
    The entire population grinding CC.
    Iron Mike tank soloing every raid in the game.
    Good times.

    Remember when the knobs would break and you had to use pliers to switch between said 4 channels.

    I remember when subs got new content a week ahead of people who buy the DLCs and people who did neither of those things were unable to play the new content at all (unless they did free eps)....cause you know....they didn't spend any money to get into it.

    Or when you used to be able to choose a phase vs trying to phase with someone....was good for farming exos or collections cause you could go to a low pop phase...now the opposite would be needed, to find a high pop phase for farming 50+ kills on the giant bounties.
