Hello Voltera, it makes me very happy to see how much you care about the game and the players; you are truly someone to be admired. There was a time when everyone in the game used to ask each other, "Where are the game admins?" whereas today, the question "I wonder when the next event is?" is on everyone's lips. This shows that you have regained the players' trust, and I sincerely congratulate you on that. Now, we need to consider how to make the game even better together. Your openness to suggestions will take this endeavor to a whole new level. I am speaking here today on behalf of the quiet players. There are players who miss out on events; they don't just want a reward obtained via a code—they want to be part of the crowd of hundreds of players participating in the event itself. Having served as an administrator in games years ago—and even taking it a step further by creating and managing my own game and server—my advice to you is this: When you hold an in-game event, displaying on-screen notifications like "23:59 hours until the event" or "10:00 hours until the event" every hour (specifically on the day of the event!) would better inform players and encourage them to stay online. You could also share event details via the chat window every hour using colored text under the name "Game Master." And here is the biggest issue—please note that this part is crucial: Select a trustworthy person in each country. If in-game sales were conducted using each country's local currency and adjusted for its specific economic conditions... believe me, you would earn revenues far beyond your imagination. You should appoint representatives for DC Universe Online in various countries. These representatives would first receive in-game gifts, then physical gifts depending on the situation, and if you start earning even more money, you could even pay them a salary. Look, what I’m writing here might seem funny or difficult to you, BUT it would change the game significantly. And before I say my final word, I want to reiterate this: the US and EU servers should be merged. Because if they merge, we would see a massive number of online players. Also, there is a serious "Villain" problem on the EU server; no one wants to create a Villain character. And those who do can't find other Villain players like themselves. For instance, if there are 100 Heroes in the game, only 10 of them are Villains. At one point, I launched a psychological campaign to support Villains; I constantly wrote in every channel and announced at every event, "Help the Villains." Every time I logged in, I tried to remind players that Villains exist too. However, I can't pay much attention to the game anymore because I'm busy composing lyrics and making songs for my YouTube channel. There is a saying: "People throw stones at a fruit-bearing tree." Whenever I try to do something to help people, there will be those who try to block my path. There will even be those who try to badmouth this very message. These people are no different from those who say, "DCUO is dead, quit the game"—in other words, they are bad people. I have always tried to silence those who claim "DCUO is dead," and believe me, if some players are still playing, it is thanks to my efforts to shift that mindset. I know many people who returned saying, "Boss, I came back just for you." You see, being a Game Owner is one thing, being a Game Administrator is another, and being a Leader in the game is something else entirely. And I am leading many players here, without them even realizing it. Friends—or rather, I should call you "Family," as that is more fitting—create secret accounts within the game; set up accounts on the US and EU servers, playing as both Heroes and Villains. Befriend the players. Listen to their concerns. Ask them what they want. Because winning over a player means reaping the rewards of your hard work; winning over a player means earning money. And most importantly, regardless of country, religion, or race, it means winning over a human being! You have won me over, and I have won you over. I wanted to write this message to all of you—and especially to you, Voltera—using my character "4134." I am here for you, and you are here for me. Never forget that. <3 With love and respect, <3

Merhaba Voltera, Oyunla ve oyuncularla bu kadar çok ilgilenmen beni çok mutlu ediyor ve takdir edilecek bir insansın. Çünkü bir zamanlar oyunda herkes ''Nerede bu oyun yöneticileri?'' diye birbirlerine sorarlarken bugün ise ''Acaba ne zaman yeni etkinlik var?'' sorusu herkesin dilinde dolaşmaya başladı. Buda demek oluyorki oyuncuların güvenini yeniden kazandınız ve gerçekten sizi bu konuda tebrik ederim. Şimdi oyunu birlikte daha iyi hale nasıl getirebiliriz diye düşünmek gerekir. Ve önerilere açık olmanız bu işi ciddi boyutta yukarı seviyelere taşır. Sessiz oyuncular adına bugün burada konuşuyorum. Etkinliklere yetişemeyen oyuncular var ve onlar sadece kod ile girilen bir ödül değil, Etkinliğe katılan 100'lerce oyuncu içinde olmak istiyorlar. Ben yıllar önce oyunlarda yöneticilik yapıp hatta bunu daha ileri götürüp kendi oyunumu ve server ımı kurup oyun kuruculuğu ve yöneticiliği yapmış biri olarak, benim size tavsiyem; Oyunda event yapacağınız zaman bunu oyun ekranında ( Etkinliğe Son 23:59 saat ) , ( Etkinliğe son 10:00 saat ) diye yazılı uyarılar çıakrsa ekrana her saat başı ( Sadece etkinlik günü ama.!) bu mesajlar oyuncuları daha çok bilgilendirir ve onların online kalmalarını sağlar. Etkinliğin detaylarınıda sohbet penceresinden saat başı Oyun Yöneticisi adıyla renkli bir yazıyla bilgilendirebilirsiniz. Ve En büyük sıkıntı, Bakın bu kısım çok önemli.! Her ülkede güvenilir bir kişi seçin, oyun içi satışlar her ülkenin kendi parasıyla ve o ülkenin Ekonomik durumuna göre olursa... inanın bana aklınıza gelmeyecek kadar çok büyük paralar kazanırsınız. Dc Universe Online için ülkelerde temsilciler seçin. Bu temsilciler önce oyun içi hediyeler sonra duruma göre fiziksek hediyeler ve eğer daha da fazla para kazanmaya başlarsanız bu temsilcilerinize maaş verebilirsiniz. Bakın bu yazdıklarım size belki komik gelebilir belki zor gelebilir FAKAT oyun ciddi derecede değişir. Ve Son sözümü yazmadan önce tekrar şunu söylemek isterim. US+EU Server birleştirilsin. Çünkü eğer bu serverlar birleşirse ortaya çok ciddi bir online oyuncu sayısı çıkacak. Ayrıca EU Server da ciddi anlamda bir Villian sorunu var. Kimse Villian açmak istemiyor. Açanlarda kendi gibi Villian oyuncu bulamıyor. örnek veriyorum 100 kişi Hero ise oyunda bunların 10 Tanesi Villian. Bir ara ben Villian destek programı başlattım psikolojik olarak, devamlı Villian'lara yardım edin diye her kanaldan yazdım her etkinlikte duyurdum. Her oyuna girişte Oyunculara villianlarında var olduğunu belli etmeye çalıştım. Ama artık Youtube Kanalımda şarkı sözleri bestelediğim için ve şarkı yaptığım için oyunla çok fazla ilgilenemiyorum. Ve birde şöyle söz var; Meyve veren ağaç taşlanır. insanlara yardım etmek için birşeyler yapmak istediğimde benim önümü kesmeye çalışanlar olacaktır. Hatta bu mesajı bile kötülemeye çalışanlar olacaktır. Bunlar oyunda ''DCUO öldü artık oyun bırakın'' diyenlerden farksız kişilerdir yani kötü insanlardır. Ben her defasında ''DCUO öldü'' diyenleri susturmaya çalıştım ve eğer bazı oyuncular eğer hala daha oynuyorlarsa inanın bana bunu psikolojik olarak değiştirme çabam sayesinde. Çünkü birçok insan geri döndüğünde ''Başkanım, ben sadece sizin için geri döndüm.'' diyenleri biliyorum. Bakınız, Oyun Sahibi olmak başkadır, Oyun Yöneticisi Olmak başkadır, Oyunda Lider Olmak başkadır. Ve ben Buradaki birçok oyuncuya liderlik yapıyorum onlar farkında olmadan. Arkadaşlar, Yada Ailem demeliyim size bu daha doğru olur, Oyun içinde gizli hesaplar açın, US Server'da, EU Server'da, Hero ve Villian olarak hesaplar açın. Oyuncularla arkadaş olun. Onların dertlerini dinleyin. Ne istediklerini sorun. Çünkü oyuncuyu kazamak Yaptığınız emeğin karşılığını almak demektir, Oyuncuyu kazanmak Para kazanmak demektir. Ve En Önemliside, Hangi ülkeden olursa olsun, hangi Dinden olursa olsun, Hangi ırktan olursa olsun, insan kazanmak demektir.! Siz beni kazandınız, Bende sizi kazandım. 4134 karakter ile size ve özellikle sana Voltera, bu mesajı yazmak istedim. Ben sizin için sizde benim için varsınız. Bunu asla unutmayın <3 Sevgiler ve Saygılar <3

I would like to argue this:
- I personally do not believe they have regained the players trust (at least mine, that is)
There are still countless bugs in the game that the community have been VERY vocal on and the devs have not acknowledged or given any word on the possible fix and/or resolution. This also includes Artifacts, Allies, Powers... To which people have paid money towards (in some capacity) yet the thing they have invested all that time and money into just does not work and/or breaks many other aspects of the game. Razers Power Battery, Omega Totality, Combo powers breaking constantly etc.
Players do not like seeing iconic powers in time capsules, moreover they do not like that you need MULTIPLE of the same collection per account to have the skill on multiple characters. This is just a HUGE money wall for players who play multiple characters such as myself. The community have been very vocal about powers not being in capsules yet there has been no statement from devs/DB yet they keep doing it.
New content is the same rehashed thing over and over. The Alerts are now shorter versions of the Raid. This burns people out so fast. Doing the same thing over and over again just drives people crazy. It gets to the point where the entire of EU no longer runs the alert when its later into the episode, the only people who do are those still needing it or those who play it because they think it will make them stronger when all they have is rank 0 artifacts in an elite alert.
There is no power set balance at all - Granted there is a issue in the reworked light situation and everything related to power sets is on hold... however they keep releasing CONSTANT power array augments, iconics and event powers that people still have issues with.
They say they listen to feedback... yet there has been near enough nothing to suggest they do listen at all on the things that bother the community so much. I feel like the only feedback they listen too is Style Ideas.
- The codes
Personally, i like them. It lets players know "hey look, we are giving you free items on a regular basis, stick around to see what else you may get at some point!". Its a nice touch to keep people around and/or in tune with the game. It also shows the community team at the game is trying to connect with the audience. The Dev Invasion events are just for fun and extra rewards that players can put on the broker. You can buy them off there and take your chances, meaning you dont need to go to the invasion to get said invasion rewards.
- GMs in game
This would be amazing. GMs just embedded in the community, playing along, having fun, spawning bosses occasionally, possibly gifting some small rewards like auras/nth/ally favor to those they feel like are a good member of the community etc.
On the flip side, i dont think GMs in its literal sense would be needed. Moreso trusted players of the community that are sponsored by the community team. Give those trusted players a direct line of communication to the DCUO community team that allows for feedback, player recognition and also a community spokes person to reach out with concerns by the players. They would not need to be paid money or anything, perhaps just free membership while they are trusted by the DCUO community team, idk. Would be nice to see an incentive to be part of something like that.
- Merging NA/EU Servers
Hell to the no! As much as i want more population on EU, i would not sacrifice lag/ping/name changes etc to play on bigger servers. If the game manages ping well, i would not be as stubborn on this topic, but because it does not, hell no.
- "Help the villains"
All they need to do is merge Hero/Villain LFG. Thats all. Then it wont matter who you play as.
- "DCUO is dead"
From what it once was? Yes. It is.
Is it showing steps towards a positive place? Yes. Yes it is
Do DCUO devs keep taking 1 step forward, 3 steps back? Yes they do indeed.
With the current way the game is going with all the bugs, not listening to the community etc, there will be a time in the next year or 2 in which DCUO will just die. EU is close on this front. I have been sat in an omnibus alert queue for 45 minutes on a reset day at 9pm (been doing them for 3-4 hours and waited 30mins+ each time). EU is a ghost town at the moment with only 1.5/2 phases full in HoL at peak times. Granted we are on a back end of an episode. LFG moves slower than i have ever seen it before, most of the time its just people arguing etc.
- The rest?
Idk, seems to go off the rails with the whole human love thing. but hey, thats the DCUO community for you. Full of different kinds of people
