Hey guys, remember LEGO Island?
(Edit - I mean the theme as a whole, sets and stuff, not just the original game pictured there)

« on: October 09, 2013, 04:39:24 PM »http://legouniverse.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Bioniclejaller/LEGO_Universe_Private_Server_-_7/5/12oh lol that blog post
To put it lightly, the guy has only very slightly scratched the surface of how the game works.
Also, he's under the impression that LEGO being ok with non-commercial fan-created software and games (like LDraw or LEGO Wolf3D for some examples) is somehow equivalent to LEGO being ok with people attempting to create servers to run LU on.
I could post a link to the sourceforge thing where people are making some very slight progress, but I'm not sure if that sort of thing would be allowed here so I won't. But as I said earlier, even there, there's not much to see, they're still stuck on the basic act of logging in.

« on: October 09, 2013, 01:01:18 PM »Was the OP talking about working private servers or was he talking about people on the wiki working on making some?I didn't see the topic before he edited it so I dunno. But nobody on the wiki is working on a private server, the users there by and large don't have a clue as to how the game works. There is a small group of people who have been trying to make one, but even after all this time all they've managed to do is get a few steps into the login process. The game ran on many server programs all working together, was heavily tied into LEGO.com's account/ID services, and all the databases for missions, items, NPCs, etc were stored server-side, so they've got an incredible amount of work to do just for the basics of getting the game to run. Did I mention that the details of how all this stuff worked are still pretty much unknown? So that incredible amount of work they have to do is also a lot of guesswork. Don't get your hopes up for any form of private servers.

« on: October 09, 2013, 12:51:07 PM »So are there any private servers for LU?
As for private servers, I think a couple people managed to get a few steps into the login process, but that's it. It's a really complex system, don't expect anything interesting remotely soon, if ever.

3D modeling and programming. Perhaps music.

« on: October 09, 2013, 02:46:17 AM »It was about private Lego Universe servers and how the people of the Lego Universe Wiki wanted to buy all the rights of the gamelolwut? I'm a bureaucrat on the LU wiki (aka an admin/sysop with the additional ability to change the groups of other users), and no, we don't, the site's fairly inactive now in fact - we did have a couple of desperate kids dreaming about doing that back when the game closed in early 2012, though, which I personally laughed at. There's a lot to laugh at on that site, really...

BTW, there actually still is a pretty active Skype group of LU fans, though as the game's been dead for quite a while there's not a whole lot of LU talk, mostly other subjects. If anybody's interested in being added just let me know.
Oh, and as long as we're discussing LU, might as well shamelessly plug my complete playthrough of it (which is still being gradually uploaded).

My grandpa was a navy officer in WWII, in the Italian and North African theaters. He told me several stories about it while he was still alive but the one I remember the best is the one where some of the other guys in the crew got seasick and puked over the side of the ship, but they did it into the wind, so it flew right back at them.

Tons and tons of LEGO and Bionicle stuff, including a lot of older online games that have since been removed. Have fun.

I still have them in a little plastic bag somewhere. Also, they were somehow blocking a normal adult tooth from coming down and replacing a baby tooth, so they actually gave me braces, and attached a tiny little chain to the adult tooth (still way up in my gums) and put tension on it with a little elastic thing over the course of a month or two. It was pretty weird.

I had two mutant teeth growing up towards my sinuses that had to be surgically removed.
One was shaped like a block, the other a fang.
I called them Thing 1 and Thing 2.
