Could this be HeroFeed or HeroBook?

That would be awesome. Probably shouldn't mention it though, since it seems to be a site with a commenting system.

If it is, the messages will probably be controlled, like in My Lego Network.

Maybe it's a MMORPG where your custom designed, self-made Heroes make their own teams that are assigned to drop ships to go defeat the big bad wolf of the week. *imagines BZP members cooridinating mass raids in planets*.

Don't think so *looks back on Lego Universe* after the last fail.

It is the new improved hero creator that is probably what they are talking about.

I don't think it will be any type of Hero Creator. I also think that is a waste, but thats my opinion.

[~garnira returns~]

if you can make heroes in recon team they might as well make a villain designer that you can design a villain and order it. that would be nice.

If it is free, less of a problem. The problem with LU was that it was an independent operation designed to make money.

I wouldn't be surprised that the new Hero Creator announcement has something to do with this. I could easily imagine that a "Hero Factory social project" would involve the Hero Creator seeing as it is the easiest way to make HF avatars. The fact that the creator is going 3D suggests that this project would involve 3D tech in some way, hence my suggestion.

Also, now that I think on it - the building component. It might be some plan in the back office to expand the Hero Creator to build villains and whatnot. Building actual physical models with the HF building system might be an attempt to make a creator thing realistic-to-actual parts (they don't want some kid building some great digital model and then get annoyed because he can't build it in real life). The whole thing may be as simple as people building Heroes and villains to combat in some training sphere or something. Other people can coordinate online battles.

I still want the other idea, however...

The idea of combining social media with Hero Factory is intriguing. Makes me wonder if it would have been possible to do so with BIONICLE.
