I thought of somthing if lego is making it will lego club members get bonuses like free currency,items,expirence and other things on a daily bacise.
it could also be that lego could alow a program that lets you desighn a minfig part like head torso or legs and sugjest it for infinite possibilitys like mowh wants but they are optinal downloads for the game for those that have dial-up like me
also i reconised the torso after the red buisness guy suit is from spiderman lego,its peter parkers shirt with a camra on string
did you notice king kong climbing up the sky scraper i thought of a random event if he grabs you he will try to play with you you can
A.offer no recistence to try and get something from him i havent figured it out yet
B.run awayand take no risk
or C. for complete morons unless well prepared attack and if he falls to your mite you get 1 a great trophy 2. the equifillent of what in the real wourld 2,000,000,000,000 american dollars and then his brother a mysitic raises him from the dad and other players can get the luterys from him
Also thet minifig that did battle is difrent than the one you saw built and that wepon idea is stupid i think that lego should add blasters,guns and other great wepon assortments and the ability to use bricks to make custom wepons like conbinding multible blasters on a brick base and do matiene gun-like attack stratiges
they should also have pvp in a arena in 2 modes frendily or to the respawn(theres no death just respawning with all but your bricks(if you can carry them) and your 3 most valuble items in each catagory like wepeons,food(to repelish health if included)and trophys(to put in your house) so in non brick catagories thats a total of 9 items
I also thought of a great idea in the game there are property portals to teleport you to your propety (if you have any)and you can use those pads in the worckshop to make modles for your home like you can build a car or a garden but to actuly move them off the pad you need to have a good veicle with a way of holding on to the peceise like you could make a bigh cargo truck to transport the piceis and havr a fotklift put them on and off or just hire some workers to do it of corse there should be a sence of weight like you can move a flower but not a house.thats all if you want to contact me further i am lego club member ArtixKregier

How can one not love Legos? I still have all the Legos I have ever received growing up. In fact, I still whip them out and just hang out on the couch building random stuff. It's actually quite relaxing...except the constant crashing as I scour my plastic bins for specific parts. :( And it's better than doing too many drugs our of boredom. :)

Majorasblaze — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 06:04:06 MDT

I have to agree with everyone defending LEGO in the thread. It's not trolling, it's standing up for the way a name is supposed to be. You don't go around calling mice mouses just because you can't be bothered, and you don't build stuff out of Legos. I've never heard anyone in the UK call them Legos in my life, and this is from someone who has been collecting LEGO bricks that entire time.

Cruithne — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 04:36:52 MDT

It's Lego, not Legos.

How about we start talking about World of Warcrafts?

We let it slide when you stole the name Football, we turned a blind eye when you talked about a "world series", that involved two countries.
But, this is Lego, some things are sacred.

We have to draw the line somewhere.

Meh, They're "Legos" to me, and as far as I'm concerned, that's all they'll ever be. Everyone I know refers to them as "Legos" so if I were to say something like "Let me go bust out my Lego" they would all think I'm referring to only one piece and probably think me crazy.

MonkeyBiz — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 15:13:24 MDT

I know it's supposed to be LEGO (caps) but I refer to the company as LEGO and their bricks as legos. I don't really care if that makes anyone angry, if you care about it that much you should find a hobby and stop trolling.

I would be willing to bet that lots of people outside of this thread say "Legos." Just a hunch.

This looks awesome. It's hard to get a sense from the trailer what the gameplay is going to be like, but the style and charm is definitely there.

The voices remind me more of Morph. And Morph pre-dates the Sims.

Also, no-one outside of this thread says "Legos". The plural of "Lego" is "Lego".

@L_K_M: nobody I know in the UK does. We all think it sounds silly.

What I want to know... the idea of a LEGO MMO is great, but they haven't yet actually told us what get to do!

Still, once I find that out I expect that I may become a raving fanboy, and if it's done well it'll be the first MMO since City of Heroes I'm actually willing to pay for.

It's the same trademark defense crap that causes legal departments everywhere to put out anal retentive bullcrap. Adobe legal doesn't like it when you use photoshop as a verb - "It's a Proper Noun™!"

Point is, they're legos and no one cares hat Lego Legal wants us to append the word 'bricks' to that every time.

I hope this is going to be very Lego-y. For example, can you build your own house and your own vehicles out of Lego blocks? Everyone driving around in his own personal Lego car which he built himself out of Lego blocks would be so awesome... This should be more along the lines of Animal Crossing than a "normal" online game. More exploring, less quests.

Kulor — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 02:20:07 MDT

No Exploriens, no me playing it! Actually, I would settle on any space theme so long as it isn't just Star Wars. Sometimes I think Lego's forgotten about their own amazing lineup of IP...
Also, if this is anything like Blockland, they should find a way to fix the tremendous amounts of slowdown that occurs when you have a ton of people laying down thousands of bricks everywhere.

mowh — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 20:01:03 MDT

Best route they can take is to simply let the user choose and match each individual detail (face, mouth, eyes - similar to that of the Wii) of their character instead of going with premade pieces. Color kits, color kits, color kits. It's "impossibly" crucial.

followed up by the numerous theme series. This franchise could go on forever if they find a good enough game purpose. I mean imagine, playing as lego Batman, ha ha.

For this to be great, their need to be countless possible combinations (10 different face, torso, leg styles does not cut it, hell, even 20 won't), one of the worst things that can happen (in this specific game) is to see identical people running around in identical "gear" as well as similar towns and cities.
