Hopefully a match made in heaven.

Secretly wept? Timmy, we all know you openly cried and hugged random people on the street.

Djpuk · 6th Mar 2007, 09:37

Sounds good, but then again so did the Matrix MMO, I thought that had to be a winner!
Of course it will all be for the kids, cough cough....
Seriously I will give it a look.

hope you can build your own stuff in lego mmoworld

HugoB · 6th Mar 2007, 10:18

If they do it right it will be awesome, only time will tell

Childhood obesity is a global epidemic in most first-world countries, which is where this game will most likely take off. So shouldn't companies like LEGO be trying to sway children AWAY from computers and such?

And people are wondering why children are getting obese these days.

gg LEGO

Surely the alternative as far as Lego is concerned is sitting on your arse building with real blocks rather than virtual ones...? Its not exactly the athletic pursuit that's going to solve obesity!

It was my 23rd birthday the other day. My sister bought me Meccano and my house mate bought me Lego. LOL.

Lego was the best.

LEGO & MMO is genius.

Netdevil doing it however is worrying. If anyone can screw it they can and probably will.

ralph.pickering · 6th Mar 2007, 12:14

For those of us clearly living under a rock the past few years, MMO = ? Massively Multiplayer Online something perhaps?

OK - scratch that - Wikipedia to the rescue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMO
But, given the alphabet soup that is computing, might I suggest that good journalistic practice would include defining TLAs where they're the main subject of an article.

And @Spode: Mechano Mod!!! Some things just have to be done.

Lazlow · 6th Mar 2007, 14:25

This could be the best combination since LEGO and Star Wars. Maybe they could replace the dying SWG with this LEGO MMO?

gg LEGO

it's a company, and comapny's always want to make money, it's the very reason they exist, so no, you can't demand doing anything else than making money form them.

Crazyglue · 6th Mar 2007, 15:30

ewwww, why do they encourage 12 years olds to invade the internets?

RevolMidnight · 6th Mar 2007, 15:39

You know what I'd love to see? A Lego Mod...

Redbeaver · 6th Mar 2007, 15:58

wow...just wow....

so does that means we can walk around in a world where we can see other people's creation? that's so cool!

Grinch123456 · 6th Mar 2007, 17:05

The key is in the execution. I hope this works out right!

randosome · 6th Mar 2007, 17:29

isnt the whole idea of lego like hands on building and stuff

so doesnt a computer game kinda not work with that idea ... although atleast games are cheaper, lego is dang expensive

-EVRE- · 6th Mar 2007, 18:28
