Lego Universe: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

The plot is simply this, four guys, a knight, a pirate, a scientist, and a baron, travel across the universe, searching for the source of imagination; they inevitably come across a perfectly cubic planet, and land on it. This source of imagination could make any idea come to life...

 

So the Baron, after going mad on the journey, creates the Maelstrom, a threatening chaotic force. This turns against him and drags him into the source of imagination, where he presumably was absorbed. The source turns dark and is eventually plugged up with the remains of their ship, exploding the planet into fragments.

The remaining crew eventually call upon the help of every available person in the Universe, and help ward off the Maelstrom's dark minions, the Stromlings.

 

In August 2011, the game partially became free-to-play (the first two zones were free for all, with the rest only available to subscribers), but the change apparently failed to attract sufficient amounts of new subscribers, so LEGO ended LEGO Universe on January 31, 2012.

 

* [[All There in the Manual]]: The backstory is detailed on the website, in special missions.

* [[Allegedly Free Game]]: Eventually it comes to a point after you've gotten your own property to build on, that you have to be a Member to continue with the storyline and unlock other worlds and missions.

* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: The Venture League (one of the in-game factions) is guilty of this trope. Specifically, their Buccaneer class. Rank 1 shoots a trident from it's pistol. Nothing too abnormal about that... But when you get to Rank 2, the pistol shoots a fish. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Somewhat fishy]], but... Wait! Rank 3 launches a [[Up to Eleven|SHARK]]!

*** To make things interesting, the fish fired from the SDS also home in on the enemies targeted.

* [[A Taste of Power]]: Two missions added in the August 9th patch temporarily give new players special armour that has roughly the power of level 2 faction equipment and 4 extra hearts.

* [[Collection Sidequest]]: Oh, so very much. Every area in the game has ten (or more) hidden flags to find, and there are more than a dozen "find the hidden chests/compasses/whatever" missions.

* [[Cosmetic Award]]: The Vailient capes are only availible to those how have hit the current level cap of 40 and are very expensive but only have the powers and defence bonuses of normal level 3 shoulder gear wich can be bought earlier and cheaper.

* [[Dark Action Girl]]: The current leader of the Paradox Faction, Vanda Darkflame. Apparently stubborn and uncaring of whatever impression her methods give, though that's probably a given in her position.

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: The Paradox faction use malestrom based powers but, [[Fan Dumb|despite what some say]], are fighting to save imagination like everyone else.

* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: The Baron wanted to find the essence of pure imagination, and prove that it didn't have limits. What he ended up creating was the Maelstrom, a force of chaos without limits.

* [[Guide Dang It]]: Every single mission on the website.

* [[Kick the Dog]]: An absolutely brutal example; upon the Maelstrom's creation, the first thing the first spiderling did was stomp on and destroy a Puppy. Thankfully, it is later reconstructed (The wrong way round), sparking a possible Moment of Heartwarming.

* [[The Heartless]]: The Stromlings.

* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Ninjas, racers, jungle explorers, pirates, robots, cowboys and knights have all been seen to interact. A character's outfit could be a mix of all of these, and more.

** Don't forget Spacemen!
