The new client, called myDU, will allow players to either create or connect to other players’ private servers, meaning that players can adjust multiple parameters such as whether to turn PvP off or on, the ability to create unlimited resources, or to play the game solo or with a select group of friends. Best of all, myDU will not require a subscription to play, though those who do want to connect to the regular MMO of DU will need to subscribe to do so.
