Well I'm so glad we got so many responces in our LU welcome topic, makes me feel really great when people share their passions with one another.
So on that note, let's take the Nex step together shall we.
I think we could all benefit from each others favourite aspect of play in Lego Universe, and don't be shy, tell us why.
Is it buiding with identity, or is it sharing in the building? I for one really want to hear all that you love about the Universe.
btw, anyone remember this?
Well you ask for it. Here's everything I never said in the old forum and few people know.
Regarding the building aspect:
Imagine yourself in a partitioned room filled with lego builders and of course someone needs a particular brick to keep building. They could go home and tear something down, or wait until the store opens, etc., but instead they shout out "Hey Legodac! You got a 1x4x6 door frame and a 1x4x6 glass door for it? I'll trade you or pay you for it." and you pull the parts with joy to be able to help someone out and go on building, "How much do I owe you?" and you reply "Nothing. Just keep me in mind if I need something and do the same for someone else works for me." - "Thanks Legodac."
Well it's like that in LU also: Suddenly your chat indicator starts blinking and a friend who sees that you're on your property asks if you have a rare STOCK FISH brick. To his amazement you do and he's happy as a lark. You ask him to look in his backpack and see if he has a rare TECHNIC DRAGON WING with 2 pins. He has one and mails it to you and there's a mailbox on each property so you don't even have to go anywhere to get it. BUT you don't know that your brick buddy just put out the word to a few of his friends and now you get this rare brick from someone who has just become one of your new BBs.
Regarding game play:
Sometimes you just want to run around and knock off small achievements that are not really conducive to teamwork and other times there are feats you can't do without help. It's those times when you need help that all these former legouni.com folks know who to call on. There are 'friends' and there are your Uni friends. Who ya gonna call?
For me personally I'm an old man with leukemia. I had very little energy or stamina when I started chemo last September. I had played during beta and my wife bought me the game on pre-order. I later developed a small heart anomaly that has me taking shots everyday and using oxygen until the Docs can fix me up. So i play and build with my young friends who teach me a bit each day about how to have fun and lighten up. I've done more digital building in LU than I ever could with real bricks. Now my chemo is over and i'm getting a tiny bit stronger each day. I'm just waiting to hear what the Docs have to say. In the mean time what started out to be something to keep me busy and my mind off my physical world, has now turned into an expanded circle of real people playing together in an imaginary world and connecting in live forums.
Does that answer your question at all?
P.S. I want to build your lego scene in LU. Did you see my LU Jungle Tree House?
P.S.S. Those palm segments make great snakes since you can bend them sort of.
