They set up some new servers that are Free 2 Play. But you only get a few classes and races. You can upgrade to Premium and get all the races and classes, but you are still stuck on the same server. I.e. if you want to play with real people who have played the game for awhile, this is not the way to go...
And I just cancelled my account. I am waiting at this point for DC Online. Of course I will do Star Wars as well. I think the GLA is going to form some sort of group for DC. But aside from the remaining time on my EQ2, I am currently MMOless. I HATE that!
