Considering that the game has launched within the last few months, does this hint that DC Universe Online isn&rsquo;t all that popular?<\/p>\n<p>The four &lsquo;super servers&rsquo; will be split between PC and PS3, with each platform getting one for the US and one for Europe. Unfortunately this means that PC and PS3 players will still not be able to play against each other, which would actually be a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>Although things were initially planned to be happening within the next few weeks, it&#8217;s now all on hold as Sony Online Entertainment and Sony at large has far broader problems with the security of their gaming services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/reviews\/10487-Universe-Online-PS3.html\" target=\"_self\" title=\"DC Universe Online review\">DC Universe Online review<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/images\/9601-Universe-Online-screenshots.html\" target=\"_self\" title=\"DC Universe Online screenshots\">DC Universe Online screenshots<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Online superhero MMO will have its servers merged (once Sony has their network up)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":157,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/157"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11544"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11544\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
