Sony Online Entertainment has announced that their customer-deficient MMO, DC Universe Online, will consolidate PC and PS3 servers around the globe into four “SuperServers” within the coming weeks. There will be one Super-Server for each platform in both the European and American regions; Sony refused to comment on the server’s apparent weakness to Kryptonite.

DC Universe Online was released for both platforms on January 11, 2011 for $59.99US, with a $14.99US monthly subscription fee. The game failed to gain traction with critics and users, attaining a 72 rating for the PC version and a 67 rating for the PS3 version on Metacritic.

The news was readable for a short period of time earlier today, prior to SOE announcing that their entire online platform and the Station.com website were being brought down as part of a preventative measure related to the recent online successful hacking attacks on the PSN and Qriocity services. The information has since been replaced with a letter to SOE customers notifying them of the outage.

The original text from Sony’s DCU release can be read below:

We have heard your concerns about queue times on the servers. This game is about people playing and fighting together so we feel your pain. Sometime in the next month, we are going to test new technology to meld all of our US and European PC and PS3 servers into four Super-Servers, one for each platform in each region. This will allow for more opportunities to queue and participate in other group related game mechanics.

We are hoping to get this on our PC Test Server to start testing, again, sometime in the next month and then will tune it up for the PS3 platform as well. As soon as we know more about testing and timing we will let you know. But, believe this – it is one of our top priorities. Again, thanks for your patience, we appreciate your support.
