PLOT
[Copied from Wikipedia]
LEGO Universe takes place in an alternate universe populated by LEGO minifigures.The premise is that years ago, a team of four minifigures went on a great journey to seek the last essence of pure Imagination: Doctor Overbuild, Duke Exeter, Hael Storm, and Baron Typhonus. After having found it on the mysterious planet Crux, the greedy tycoon of the expedition, Baron Typhonus, was pulled into the source, fusing with it to create a Maelstrom of chaotic dark energy. However, even though Doctor Overbuild plugged the hole, the stress caused Crux to explode into thousands of other worlds. After the incident, the explorers decided to form their own factions, Doctor Overbuild creating The Assembly, Duke Exeter forming the Sentinels and Hael Storm leading The Venture League. The factions worked together and created the Nexus Force in order to destroy the Maelstrom and its minions. A few years later, The Venture Explorer, a ship carrying new recruits is being attacked by The Maelstrom. The player, aboard the ship, escapes to Avant Gardens with the aid of Sky Lane. Here, a disaster involving Paradox, a fourth faction which studies the Maelstrom, has infected Avant Gardens with Maelstrom and released a beast called the Spider Queen. After travelling through the world and discovering the Spider Queen's location, the player destroys the Spider Queen at the Block Yard and claims their first Property, where they can place collected models and bricks.

I have been playing this game for a few days now since it went free to play and I like it.
I recommend buying membership for a month though.

It's more of a free trial, It's not free to play you can't leave the first area.


It's more of a free trial, It's not free to play you can't leave the first area.
I know, which was very disappointing :c
im a subscriber :D
yeah, the game is tons better with it.

I remember playing the beta, was fun

I played it for awhile. Its fun but i dont like paying a stuffton of money.

Lego makes enough as it is

Yeah, I was in beta and I thought the game was kinda cool at the time.

It's alright now I guess.

I played the beta. It was okay.

Free-to-play killed it for me. I really, really hated how little they allow you to do.

I enjoyed playing the beta, though it kept crashing when I got to the Ninja World. :c

it sucks cuz you need membership to go to another universe
i quit playing it

it sucks cuz you need membership to go to another universe
i quit playing it

This.

I Beta'd but i lost my account :c

It was always meant to be a paid subscription game.
Free-to-play is basically giving you a demo, it's only suppose to give you an idea of what the game is like.


I prefer past LEGO games, this game didn't stick to me during beta. It looks nice and all, but I didn't really enjoy it.

the reason the "free area" exists now and not at launch is because they expanded and added tons new content areas.
so they could give a free area as it can be that 5% of the game now instead of 20%. making it even more clear its a demo.


derp on you all for being dumb. tis is like runescape, not free. just a unlimited demo location. even though you can only enjoy 5% of the game's content.
