LEGO Universe beta sign-ups are now open photo

It's been far too long since we've talked about beta sign-ups for a big-name MMO. Sure, there's been plenty of discussion about console betas -- the kind that are essentially demos and used primarily for marketing purposes; MMO betas, though? Not so much.

What better game to help us break that silence than NetDevil's LEGO Universe? By all accounts, it could be the hot new thing for anyone who grew up playing with LEGOs, not just today's kids. Plus, it's different enough in subject matter that we won't have to bring up World of Warcraft. Shoot! Too late.

Here's the link you'll need to get set up for this thing. It's required that you have a LEGO ID, but the process is pretty painless and once you get your account finalized, it only takes a few seconds to confirm your desire to gain access to the beta.

Signed up! I couldn't use my online name though because it had the word "butt" in it, according to the webpage. Haha.

Is it bad that a 25 year old man wants to get into this just to build stuff in a lego world? I also have a strong feeling that kiddies are going to build penis statues like they did in spore.

This sounds so lame, yes I am waiting for an activation email and think this is a great idea.

As much as the kiddies want to build penis statues, the heavy moderation in the game won't allow it. I'm sure we'll see screenshots of the statues in the build mode.

Is it just me or does that dude in the front have hair that looks just like Goku's from DBZ?

Lego universe is one of the greatest games I have ever seen in my whole life. I was playing it all day long for almost few months. It was absolutely amazing. My wife was mad at me but I can understand her for sure. Thanks for publishing this article here and bringing up my memories.
