LEGO Universe’s Fourth Birthday

Happy Birthday, LEGO Universe. We will always miss you. 🙂

Happy Birthday, LEGO Universe!

Four years ago, on October 26, 2010, LEGO Universe officially opened it’s doors to the public. LEGO Universe was LEGO first (and greatest!) Massively Multiplayer Online Game. I was lucky enough to be invited to the Closed Beta in March 2010, so I have been a long-time fan of LEGO Universe. However, I did not play the fully released LEGO Universe until it’s Free-to-play version came out in August 2011. LEGO Universe is close to my heart, because it pulled me out of my short “Dark Ages” of LEGO and effected my life greatly. Because of it, I took up the art of 3D modeling and rendering, and brickfilming. This is why I always celebrate it’s birthday. Even though the game closed soon after it’s first birthday in 2012, I cannot stop thinking about it. 🙂

(Ok, I know that this post makes it sound like…

Introducing the LEGO Universe News! Minifig Wizard!

I know this isn’t really official LEGO news, but I thought you guys would enjoy it anyway. This is the LUN Minifig Wizard, made by my brother and I. http://bit.ly/MinifigWizard

LEGO Universe News!

Hello, everyone!

Today, we would like to introduce you to a new LEGO Universe News!web application created by rioforce (that’s me!) and le717. Before we do that, though, let’s give a little history of how this app came to be. (You can scroll down to the picture if history isn’t your favorite subject in school. 😛 )

In March 2013, the staff of the LEGO Universe News! Fourms (yes, we have a forum too. 😛 ) began updating the forum with new graphics and features, such as a better chat system and new theme. We also integrated a LEGO Avatar Creator into our forum. This Avatar Creator was created by LEGO, and discovered by Sim533 (a member at LUNF). Sim533 posted his discovery about the Avatar Creator on “MLN Team” (a forum devoted to My LEGO Network). We used it for a while, but it had its limitations. First…

Happy 3rd Birthday, LEGO Universe!

Happy Birthday LEGO Universe! 😀

LEGO Universe News!

On October 26, 2010, the official public launch of LEGO Universe happened. It was a joyous occasion for many, as they started a new adventure as a minifigure in a vast Universe of imagination and creativity. For some though, it was just a re-start and continuation of their adventure, for they had already made friends and had adventures in Alpha and Beta. LEGO Universe lived and thrived for just over a year, when the announcement of it’s closure struck, on November 4th 2011: just 9 days after it’s first birthday. On January 31, 2012, LEGO Universe closed. There was much sorrow, but now we can look back upon it and celebrate the great times we did have, and no longer feel sad, as long as we look back on the good things. 🙂

Today, October 26, 2013 is LEGO Universe’s 3rd Birthday (can you believe it’s been 3 years already?)…

Creation Lab Retiring (And How to Save Your Creations!)

LEGO Universe News!

Hi all,

Thursday, on the LEGO Message Boards, the moderator WhiteAlligator broke the tragic news to us that the LEGO Universe Creation Lab is officially retiring. After almost 3 years since LEGO Universe opened, the long lived and loved creation lab will officially close too, on October 25, 2013. One day before the 3 year birthday of LEGO Universe. We are told that the creation lab is going to be set to read-only mode for a little while, but we do not know how long before it officially closes. When LEGO discontinues their other set lines, it is usually a couple of years before they finally delete the site to make room for another theme. Well, the closure of the Creation Lab may just mean the closure of the LEGO Universe website also.

LEGO Universe News Forums!

Hey Guys! It’s rioforce here today! I am here as a sort-of-representative of the LEGO Universe News Forums. I have been an administrator on the forums for a while and am close internet-buddy to the founder, LegoFan101. LEGO Universe News Forums is a great place to hang out, tell cool stories, show off your cool creations, and just talk with friends. 🙂 LEGO Universe News Forums is kid-friendly too! We have really good moderators and strict rules for your safety. Just recently, LEGO Universe News Forums (LUNF) has changed themes! We are now celebrating Christmas. And in honor of LEGO Universe, we have put Frostburgh as the feature image. 😀

Now, you may be thinking, “Why would I join their forum? LEGO Universe is over and nobody wants to join a dead game forum!”. Yes, LEGO Universe is over BUT the fans aren’t! While LUNF is focused on LEGO Universe a lot, we are also the top spot for “LEGO Minifigures Online” (LEGO’s upcoming MMOG) news! We also have general LEGO discussion and really cool forum games! Plus, (thanks to Sim533), we have a LEGO Avatar Creator where you can put together your own LEGO Minifigure for an avatar. 🙂

What are you waiting for? Come on, register! We’ll be waiting. 😉
