from gamespot.com-
"Lego goes MMO
NetDevil, toy company team up to build massively multiplayer online "gaming experience"; details yet to be announced.
Sure beats the red-and-white spacemen from the 1980s...
One of the simplest toys of all time has found a profitable home in one of the most technologically advanced areas of entertainment. Lego building blocks have parlayed their appeal into video games, with the brand taking the spotlight in a pair of Star Wars-branded games from developer Traveller's Tales, as well as several other games over the past decade.
Now, the interlocking toys will venture into another hot avenue of gaming--the massively multiplayer online space. Lego Group today announced that it is partnering with Colorado-based NetDevil to create a "massively multiplayer online gaming experience."
Lego has not yet announced any specifics on the game, leaving the window open for speculation on what the game will entail. NetDevil previously created the vehicular MMOG Auto Assault. However, the emphasis on attracting a younger audience means the Lego MMOG will like go the way of Ubisoft's Puzzle Pirates, which has a very Lego-influenced visual style.
NetDevil's Web site says that the Lego MMOG is due out sometime in 2008. "
Oh yeah, this may be the best thing since the Lego skins for Freedom Force. This should be a Wii game for sure. Nintendo, are you listening? |

Lego MMO, huh? Wonder what it'll be like... maybe some combination of Auto Assault and Second Life? |

It would so totally be awesome if the game entailed all the lego glory from the old Magnatron and Blaktron sets up to the new sets with the mechs. Aquanauts to Aqua Raiders. And the uber cool Knights with the Viking and Knight's Kingdom sets. I WANT IT ALL!!!  |

I just hope they go with what's been established in the Star Wars series. The other games may have been successful enough to produce sequels but it wasn't til the Star Wars games that the Lego series was taken seriously by adults. As long as they continue with the bouncy jumps and cutesy layouts and breaking into blocks when killed they'll have a hit. You make them too serious and you lose what Lego is all about. |

I imagine being able to collect differet bricks and pieces from quests to build your own Lego creation. I just hope they have those nifty dragons. I'd put crazy robot arms with chain saws on it. |

This looks really fun! I'm sure the Wii is listening since they are making a verison of "Maple Story". So maybe the Wii is going to hop on the MMO bavdwagon. |
