That was my understanding when I read the articles. It's been talked about on the forums a bit and I don't think anyone said otherwise.

This thread discusses somewhat what happens to people who paid money for the game. This implies that it will be free but if you bought it in the past, you will automatically be considered a Premium member with added benefits as opposed to a free member: http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/rpg/dcuniverseonline/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-60451964&pid=950873&tag=topics%3Btitle

I hope I'm not reading incorrectly. I thought I read on the official DCUO site FAQ that it was going to be free for download. I guess we'll find out next month won't we... I apologize to everyone in advance if I am incorrect.

It's been reiterated several times by Sony that the game will indeed be FREE to download.

As for trophies, I've heard many an unsubstantiated claim that they'll be locked for free tier members. I doubt it though.

Edit: Here ya go. Confirmation from the executive producer and creative director:

I'll give this a try too. Can't beat free and I'm sure most of the bugs are gone now.

I bought it when it came out but only played the first free month. I liked it but I just didn't feel like paying for another month. But I'll get back into it now for sure. :D

..Yeah you are going to have to pay until they actually make it free to play. Just wait until they release it on PSN... As someone who has spent a lot of time with DCUO, it's not worth paying for.

Why not? If it sucks, then just delete it. Nothing to lose. I liked the beta when I played it for a few days. I don't really believe in paying for any game subscriptions. I can't wait to finally get to get into an MMO.

Yeah I enjoyed the beta also, just was tight with money which is why I didn't get it due to the monthly fee. I will definitely be getting into this game and can't wait

^this pretty much. the game is like 15gbs so if you have some bandwidth restrictions you may want to think about it. but if that isn't an issue, its free, why not check it out?
