Meet the DC Universe Online Team

A while back Marvel tried its hardest to create a MMORPG that leveraged it's stable of characters for gamers to play. They eventually canned it because they realized that everyone would play Wolverine, which is sort of impossible considering Wolverine's ability isn't multiplying. Unless it's cells.

Anyhoo, DC decided to have a go at creating a similar online entity, only they realized to get around the same problem (with everyone playing Batman or Superman) to allow the player to create their own character. The draw would be in the possibility that the character can fight ALONGSIDE Batman, or even alongisde Joker and other villains if they chose. Interested gamers will now have the chance to chat alongside the creators of the game via Facebook.

From 6 PM to 9 PM EST on April 18, fans that become a fan of the DCUO Facebook page at www.facebook.com/DCUniverseOnline will be able to chat with some of the game's creators. These creators include Chris Cao (Game Director), Wes Yanagi (Sr. Producer), Mark Anderson (Art Director) and Jens Andersen (Creative Director). Fans will be able to ask questions regarding gameplay, storyline, characters, iconic locations, powers and more.

Full press release after the jump.
