Every F2P game should look at Tribes and Phantasy Star Online 2 for a guide on how to do it right and look at games like APB to see how a game with potential can be completely ruined by Pay to Win.

DC universe online used to be free to play, and they prom ised never to let microtransactions become p2w. Then they slapped the whole playerbase in the face with recent updates making it almost completely p2w. Trash game and Trash developers cant even get rid of bugs since launch...greedy scum. :P

Care to provide some insight as to why you feel DCUO is p2w? I've been doing fine and all I've purchased was expansions.

I feel like their business model is extremely fair on both subscribers and free players. My brother is subscribed and he has absolutely no glaring advantages over me.

Now this makes me feel old! I remember playing the beta while I worked at Gamestop. I honestly didn't even know this game was still online! A quick search showed that it's even F2P now, so I may check it out for nostalgia's sake.

I only subbed at launch for 1-2 months bc I was already caught up in WoW at the time. I love the LotR universe though and would like to see how it's being handled these days.
