DC Universe Online Server Merges

Despite the fact that they're pointing to server queues as the sole reason for the decision, one has to wonder if dwindling subscriber numbers are at the heart of SOE's decision to merge all US and European DC Universe Online servers into four "Super-Servers". They were just opening up more servers to meet demand back in January, which leads me to believe that many people didn't carry on past their 30-day trial:
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.

We'll have more details at a future date.
