Just picture yourself running around casting Lego spells on other people. Does it get any better?
The guys over at iBricks, a site dedicated to all things Lego, have discovered the first in-game screenshot as well as some concept art from the new game.
From the iBricks forums:
The LEGO Group is working on a group of initiatives, which in the coming years will offer young and older LEGO fans all over the world new ways of play and experiences with the LEGO brand. The famous brick and the mini-figure will come to live in the virtual world.
The new LEGO Universe will combine gaming, building and the opportunity for social networking on the very same web page.
The whole development process is happening in tight synergy with the dedicated LEGO fans. The fans try out the ideas the professional game developers are creating.
According to the plans, the LEGO Universe will be to experience on-line for a larger group approx mid 2008.
Ultimately the LEGO Group want to offer the unique experience to play with the LEGO brick both virtually and physically together with your friends from all over the world, and you can even change from the physically to the virtual play as you like You are in controlĀ.

nostars has not posted in this article? that’s odd.
I wasn’t a regular at loot-ninja in June ‘07. I hadn’t noticed the article.
But I will definitely be all over Lego Universe.
Have they said anything about pricing yet?
MMORPGs basically do something on the order of $12-15/month. Some are cheaper when you prepay a few months (6 or 12 usually).
I would expect them to keep it along those lines.
If it’s free, it would be infinitely more awesome.
I’m guessing this game is going to be your evercrack? lol
Oh hells yeah. I actually played Everquest back when it came out, but after the free trial, I wasn’t into it.
I can already see my aunt doing an intervention to pull you off from playing the game all the time :p lol
Unless I can convince her to start playing too, muahahaha.
