masterchirox580 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I don't think a topic on this has been created yet but it turns out that back in September lego quietly shut down My lego network and it's forum on the lego message boards. Any thoughts? 1 Quote It's time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopekemaster Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Honestly, I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier. Last time I used it was probably... six or so years ago? I didn't really know it was still going. Quote My Writing Blog (more writing coming soon!)

Sumiki Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 It was all the rage for a while, and then it just sort of ... stopped. For some reason I had the idea it got shut down years ago. Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Imrukii Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I used it back in 2013. Too bad it's gone now, the character creator was fun for the time. Grant it I never really used it.... Ever.

Sybre Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 About time! They finally remembered the thing existed, it seems. It wasn't bad; served its purpose at the time, but shutting it down was for the best. Quote mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valendale Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I was actually using it shortly before then, but I still didn't know about the closure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishers64 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) I shall not miss you, you tedious waste of my childhood. I did, however, manage to save the images I made with the "Lego Sticker" modules. They should definitely bring that back on a bigger scale. The character creator was also nice.

masterchirox580 Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 Honestly it wasn't that bad if you were a kid. It was essentially a more interactive version of those Lego club pages from the mid-2000nds. Although it failed as a social network as you couldn't really talk to anyone. Honestly it could have worked if it was marketed as a game where you talk to various lego characters and they'd made it a bit more lively. Quote It's time to move on.

Well the actual games (at least the ones you control) were generic arcade game clones. The rest was just a tedious "get item, give it to NPC, wait for a response, wait certain amount of days, etc etc). If it had worked like say MNOG where you had the characters act in character and you just explore their pages or something then it could have been fun. Quote It's time to move on.
