Here comes Superman, from never-neverland

[tarahime]

I've always dreamed of when I would be able to get into a superhero's tights. Both figuratively and... *ahem*

Anywho, it came to my attention some time ago that there finally exists a MMORPG I really want to play. Not your Wows or your Flyffs; no, I'm talking bout DC Universe Online. Imagine: Living the life of a DC superhero, getting a nice entry-level job at Wayne Enterprises, putting on a costume and smacking bad guys at night, to come home and read the late edition of The Daily Planet. Maybe even getting a date with The Flash. Hee.


Just look at those character designs. Makes me want to be Batman.
You play as a hero or villain that you create and customize, and every player gets an iconic DC character (like Superman, Batman, Lex Luthor, or the Joker) who sends you on assignments and group missions. Your mentor can be a hero or villain, which also decides how you'll develop in the game. Also alternate gaming options let groups of players square off against each other, and there’s even the ability to throw down as your favorite DC character. You can bet that I'll be playing as Poison Ivy a lot.

Speaking of Ivy, here's an Ivy cut scene from DC Universe Online.

And just for my dear animefall. Because you can't have Red without her Harl.

I love it when they use the original voice actors for certain characters. I can't imagine anyone else doing Harley's voice. But that doesn't mean I'm opposed to James Marsters voicing Lex Luthor. He sounds very delightful in the cinematic commercial for the game. ♥

Now to start saving my money.

I enjoy Ivy's voice; it's close enough to the one from the animated series.

We have our WoW Desh.

I saw this on a commercial. Looked awesome, but unfortunately probably not free to play. Therefore I think I'll stick stick with Perfect World. :P

I never knew you played Flyff. O.O

[tarahime.livejournal.com]

Not free in the least I'm afraid. A shame too. It's available for PS3 and PC, which sucks for me since I don't own a PS3, and my PC probably couldn't run it. XD

What's perfect world?

Lol, I did play when the first release came out, but I never stuck with it. You played too I gather? :D

Perfect World: http://pwi.perfectworld.com
They are coming out with a new expansion March 2nd, with 2 new classes and other goodies. I've playing it for the past 2 years or so, and it's probably the best free MMORPG out there. People have called it the free version of WoW.

I played Flyff for quite a while (2 years? From 2004-2006 I think). Got bored of it after a while, but I've got a ton of high level chars on there. :P

I reeeeally like the artwork! O.O Pretty artwork will pretty much ensure I'll give it a shot. What class are you?

[ecatalina.livejournal.com]

My main is a venomancer (they can turn into a fox and they can have pets that battle with you :D), my 2nd main is a cleric (healer). But I have 1 of each class that are relatively high level as well. So I'm every class. ^^

Give it a shot! I'm on Lost City, one of the 2 PvP servers. It's not as bad as people might think. :)
