So...

I can't even tell you how EXCITED I was just a couple of weeks ago because I got invited by work to join the DC Online PS3 game early, in their Beta testing phase. The game does not come out until January 11th, 2011. It took a while to get it up and running, but once I did, it reminded me a lot of Final Fantasy XI Online, which to this day I regret having canceled my subscription. So take it from me, this is a game you WANT to play if you liked FFXI Online!

I spent a LOT of time creating my character, because that is the most important part of a Massive Multi-Player Online Game (MMOG) to me. I came up with an AWESOME name, Zidian, and then choose his "mentor" to be none other then Batman himself (who else?)!

I gave him a techy outfit, and Batman's awesome spiked gloves! Then I changed his colors to be black and white. I love this outfit, and even though in-game you upgrade and change outfits (which I love), this first outfit is really the one I like the most, and would draw him in, as I did above! The in-game photos above are some of the costume changes he has gone through already in the game! I LOVE his mutton chops the best, by-the-way! LOL

Now that I am currently at level 8, the game is really getting cool because Zaidin is getting a lot more powerful. It is a very hard game though, to my surprise! Right now I'm really having a difficult time beating the Scarecrow! I want to make friends with some people online to try and help me complete the mission, but I don't even know if that is allowed on this mission. I think the game would be a little better if I was able to form parties like FFXI Online. I actually have NO IDEA how to befriend people, so they have to make that clearer.

Otherwise, I like the game a LOT, obviously, and I hope to continue to play, despite a $15 a month subscription starting a month after purchase.

I do love my character though, so if you are playing the Beta, send me a note in game, or if you know how to friend me, do and fill me IN on how to do that! Again, like FFXI Online, I wish they had a place you can go that has a registered developer that can answer your questions.

In the meantime, I will be right back as I try to figure out how to make friends in-game, and beat the Scarecrow! Think I get to go to Metropolis after this Gotham mission! AWESOME!

See you Online,

Corey
