DCU Online

October 28, 2008: Senior Producer Yanagi Talks "DC Universe Online"

Wes Yanagi, Senior Producer for "DC Universe Online", spoke with ComicBookResources.com about the development of the MMO and what fans can expect...

    Will the storylines and quests in the game mirror iconic DC stories, or will they be all-new?

    The DC Universe is huge. It's so huge that we can't build all of it up front. We're focusing on our story that Geoff Johns is writing. It is a terrific plot that allows players to become part of this rich and exciting universe. From there, the sky's the limit for our expansions.

    How will grouping work in the game? Do you have to be part of a group to participate in an event, or can players jump in if they happen to stumble across a battle between the good guys and the bad guys?

    We do plan to provide players with established mechanisms for grouping. On top of this, we will also add systems to allow players to jump into an encounter they might stumble across. After all, it makes sense for a hero swoop in out of nowhere to help save the day or for a villain to pile-on and take advantage of some chaos. On a larger scale, we will also support the concept of guilds, which we are calling Leagues for heroes and Legions for villains. You will also have a lot of interaction with groups like the Justice League or the Society. Joining them is certainly something to expect if you can earn it.
