Checked. It looks interesting. I would have liked to see more realistic looks at what the game will look like instead of an animated trailer. This showed large group play. I'm not so sure that is realistic. If it is, well then I just lost complete interest.

I'm not into MMO games at all, but that trailer was pretty impressive.

Does this mean that it's getting close to ready? I've never really been interested in LU until now but that makes it look like it may be worth exploring a bit.

Looks interesting. But it'll probably be more based for younger FOLs in my opinion.

It does look really cool, but after getting sucked into highly addictive and time consuming MMORPG like WoW once before , I'm not so sure I'll try it out. It would be nice to see some actual footage of game-play though to see what it's really like.

It's so interesting how they are trying to make the trailer so serious, when, really, it is just a bunch of toys.

Looks cooler than I thought. Perhaps I will give this a look see when it comes out.

Ehh, I doubt I will try this out. Doesn't it have a monthly cost? Doesn't look that good anyways, I think i'll stick to Guild Wars. :orc:

Very nice trailer... however...

I'm looking forward to other MMOs much more. Star Trek Online, Star Wars The Old Republic, etc.

Also Lego games are never anything more than average. I hope they can change it with this one.

Lastly I fear nazi mods. Lego over censors their stuff like mad. You can't make a post on their forums without Big Brother Brick giving it the okay. They censor everything until even a baby would find it over the top. I hope that habit of Lego's does spread to this game.




All that said, some of those minifigs in the trailer should be made real. The half skeleton half normal minifigs are awesome. I'd love to own some.

I wonder if any of the characters and weapons shown in the clip will actually be released in sets ? I wouldn't mind the knight with the more realistic shield or the guy holding the parrot.

Definately a cool trailer. Gameplay will be the big factor as to whether I buy this and play with my nephews. I have an idea that this game will be very juniorized but I hope they aim a little higher as most MMO players are a bit older.

I wonder if that game will feature the things you have in most RPGs, such as increasing your experience and improving your character. I would imagine it would probably turn out awkward in a LEGO game...
Will there be quests? Will the game be centered around fighting those "darklings", as they are called? Will you be able to die? Will different themes have seperate worlds/servers? Will your minifig's look have an effect on its abilities or behaviour?

I'm not interested in playing it, but I sure am curious what will the game look like when it's done...

How can you resist! I'm sure that this will be one of the best things LEGO has, and will, do. The amount of publicity this game is sure to recieve will really boost up LEGO sales, meaning more LEGO!
