Like when it was fist announced, god damn I hate the noobs reposting things thinking its original.

It's been delayed twice.

I hate it when people buy a domain name (Legouniverse.com) just to redirect it to a sub domain (universe.lego.com)

Come on.

So other people don't buy it and make it a virus site

They refer to it like "LEGOUniverse.com is your source for Lego Universe news!"

Just use the freakin domain.

WOW THX 4 TELUNG ME I DNDT NO ABOUT THIS.

Shut up, I know where you live.


I dont expect it to be a bad game, just to much of a kid game.

That's sort of like asking if the new WoW expansion will effect Age of Time. 

The only reason we're "rivals" with Roblox is because we both occupy the same game space - that of an amateur lego sandbox game.  Lego Universe is almost certainly not going to be a sandbox game. 

If LU does allow free building, you're gonna have to grind mobs for those bricks and then your build is going to have to be approved by an administrator.  Even that's unlikely because if they just let kids build whatever, the whole world would look like stuff.  So they're probably just going to have approved designs that you can build and allow user submissions but only take the good ones.  That's if they have a substantial building component which I'm not convinced they will.  Lego Universe is about using the popular Lego branding to sell MMO crack to kids - everything else is likely secondary.

Oh and LEGO is bonkers paranoid about being "kid safe".  It is uncertain if there will even be open chat in the game (other kid-safe mmos have not).  It makes sense when you think about it: Even in Blockland, with 4351 users and no promise or reputation for kid safety, I've gotten around 5 complaints from parents about their kids being "abused" online.  A LEGO branded game with a million users and open chat is going to get 5 complaints every second. 

Hopefully, people who are looking for a lego sandbox and don't find it in LU will turn to Blockland.


When was that said?
Somewhere, but it's a damn good quote so probably Badspot made it.
