SOE have decided to merge some of their DC Universe Online servers, with four servers remaining. According to the company, this will mean that people "will allow for more opportunities to queue and participate in other group-related game mechanics." They 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."
The PC players and Playstation players will still not be able to play on the same servers, though. Due to the PSN outage, the Playstation players will have some form of compensation coming. At the time of writing, the whole SOE network is down though - including all the websites, forums and games.
