What do you think the purpose of MLN was for?
Maybe LEGO was losing money and needed a method to keep people interested?
Just another game for people of all ages to try out?
Or was it deeper than that? Was it to give children basic education in a fun, continuous way?
What do you think the purpose of MLN is?

Maybe to create a fun online game for kids!  |
It seems in every hero's time they find an enemy that defeats them in battle. Their reply? Look up in the pouring rain, and chase down their nemisis for a showdown.

I think they wanted consumers to get to MLN.Possibly they wanted the people who use MLN will tell people about the game and buy their products.
|
Why does the programmer always get Halloween and Christmas mixed up?

Yes but heres the big question....if it is about profit, why isn't there any LEGO Sets actually IN the game? If you think about it and observe MLN, they don't feature any image of a LEGO Set (except Sticker and LEGO Factory models) in any of the ranks. |

There are some minifigs from the sets. All(most) of the Bionicle networkers are sets. Thornax are from sets. When you do the CITY mini rank you may get in touch with lots of CITY sets. |

Its possible that they made a mistake in early development and these extra ranks also have profitable benefits. |

Also, there isn't much fun with only using sets. They wanted something new.

Maybe its purpose was for kids to enjoy LEGO.com and to keep them coming back for more, kinda like Facebook, seeing that kids under 13 can't get one.

We were lucky when we got Plotkin, for he had a nice place on the top 10 for quite a while, and he is also a good person.

I think facebook became popular after there was "MLN". You what you said works. |

Facebook was before MLN...
But I think it was just as a Club Page 'sequel'.

The forum is a girl? 0_o
I imagine new people coming to the forum expecting to see discussion about LEGO, only to see RPGs full of deranged characters and insane people talking about cheese and brains.
I'm beet. I don't think I'll do homework tonight.

Facebook may come before MLN, but when did facebook become popular? But I think it was just as a Club Page 'sequel'.
That's possible. There isn't much interactivity in the old club pages, except for the tic tac toe. |

It was around the time MLN came out; but still before it. But it wasn't because of MLN or anything. And I'm pretty sure it was just a 'club page sequel', otherwise, why did they get rid of the club pages after MLN was made? |

The club pages were too old.
The club pages didn't let the users interact much.
The few reasons I could think of.

Aside from the undeniable fact that most kids lie and get them at 8... My sister has a facebook and she has found kids I used to know that are too young for it. It's inevitable. I personally think that it was just for advertising, seeing as they don't really seem to notice the community any more, now that they have LU. |

I'm pretty sure it was just for advertising. You can pretty much draw a line between when LU was picking up development speed, and when LEGO started to basically ignore MLN. And it would match.
The only other possibility, is they figured we couldn't handle any new stuff, after the disaster that was the Delivery Race. -_-;
