DC Universe™ Offline free to play!

DC Universe is now Free to play and Sony has screwed the change over up big time  after downloading 13GB + to test out the game I got to play for 15 minuets and then the server went off line.. that was 18 hours ago this is what Sony are saying on Facebook  :

We are still actively working on issues with both US PC and US PS3. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to have things up and running as quickly as possible. Thanks so much for your patience.

As folks have seen we have had some major issues today keeping our US Servers up and running. We are working very hard to correct the problem and we will be keeping the servers down until we can deploy new software to help us fix the issues....

Update:!!

Update from DCUO Exec. Producer: "We will be reopening the server soon. Although we do not have a fix yet for this problem we have added additional code to try and catch and diagnose the problem. I apologize in advance if we crash again, but know that the information we get will help to make sure we solve this problem as quickly as possible." 

It’s still fracked but we will just kick it and hope for the best!

If this was a once of I might give them some slack but with servers doing down up to 9 out of the last 14 days this is not looking good for Sony.

The forums and Facebook are full of angry players complaining about freeloaders crashing there servers, and to be honest I might be upset too if I paid for a game that then went free to play, and then crashed all the time.. But i didn't pay for it but I would not have even looked at it if it was not free to play. If Sony get their act into gear and get this mess cleaned up I might give it a run and if I do like it I would me more than happy to pay for it to enhance my experience.... but that a big IF...
