An official post just like that said it would be up in a few hours on the night of the 1st when everyone was waiting, so I'm not counting on it... Aaaaand... https://community.lego.com/t5/LEGENDS-OF-CHIMA/Updates-on-Legends-of-Chima-Online-Game/m-p/6991186#U6991186 Why am I not surprised.... From what I can gather, the problem I'm seeing is with the login feature with the LEGO ID. The cookie doesn't seem to write properly or something. I would leave my opinions there on the LEGO Message Boards as well, but I can't convince myself to scroll down through all the spam and flood of emotes and exclamation points.

An official post just like that said it would be up in a few hours on the night of the 1st when everyone was waiting, so I'm not counting on it... True. I would have expected Warner to know not to make a promise that they could hold to them. If it were me, I would have made the first announcement say "Coming in August" if the game wasn't near finished.

The site is still offline, but.... You can bypass the maintenance message by going straight here: https://na.chimaonline.com/en/ (The link only works sometimes for some reason. Enter it a few times for it to actually let you in) From the looks of it, there is a membership that you can buy, but is optional, but also means that the F2P part will likely suck. I doubt I'll be paying for it.... just not something I feel I'd care for enough. There's also a redemption feature, so I guess there will be promo codes for different things and whatnot. According to an official post on the LEGO Message Boards, the game should be up within a few hours. Hopefully they are right, since it was already scheduled to be up on August 1st.

So BrickFair will be over in a matter of hours, but for those who weren't able to be there, I have been uploading photos quite frequently to my Flickr. Check it out here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/toameiko/sets/72157634887202781/

Sold out in all the LEGO stores around the area, but Tim Courtney gave me a good hands-on experience with it when I met with him at BrickFair. Definitely a nice set!

Sweet news! Can't wait!

omg ples but wouldn't that be an awfully odd paradox for the 11th doctor to have babysitted a future incarnation of his?

Things are happening on the website right now. Looks like it's a matter of moments or hours at most.-Gata I'm excited to see what's changed. Hopefully I'm not disappointed! A bunch of my friends over at Brickipedia are also quite excited. The game is quite fun when you can do it with friends and discuss it over a chatroom. It's much more cooperative, and goes by faster.

Open beta is scheduled to open today! Keep a lookout on http://www.chimaonline.com for any notices or changes.

I usually hate when NPC villages spawn poorly, but that's actually pretty cool.

I spent all day watching Doctor Who haha. I'm starting to question whether or not watching episodes with the Silence at 1am was a good idea or not though.

I'll be there. This is what my badge looks like, so you can find me that way. Here's a list of MOCs I'll have at BrickFair: Japanese Tree FrogKoalaDark Fire DragonDunkan Bulk revampHero Factory Bear thingyJimi Stringer revampSkull WolfSumo HeroVoltage HornetWilliam Furno revampI'm going to be meeting up with some friends from Brickipedia/Brickimedia, BZPower, BioMedia Project, Eurobricks and others, along with some LEGO employees like Tim Courtney and Kevin Hinkle. I'll be hanging around the Bionicle table during public hours and when nothing else is going on, and I'll also be at each seminar. Hope to see you all there.

The rule against spam is still in place though.

Yes, I did, but I've only experienced/tried clicking a link in blogs. Not sure if the problem exists elsewhere.

I put it on my calendar with a reminder. Not sure if I'll have time to go or not, since my BrickFair schedule is pretty much booked, but if I do get the time that day, I'll be there. I do like the music though.

Any database export will (usually) be in an SQL format. Yes, you can make any file type insecure. I have SQL backups of The Ninjago Wiki, The Chima Wiki, Brickimedia, and BS01, so just because it's SQL doesn't mean it's malicious.

OH NO YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT. cholie i m offend by u

I can assure you it will be on PC though, so you could go that route. PC gaming is much better anyways. PC vs. handheld is an unfair comparison. One's more powerful, but the other's more portable. Maybe you could compare mobile vs. handheld, but in that case I think the dedicated games system would win out. Going off a personal opinion though, PC is still better. It is a fair comparison, because I highly prefer PC gameplay, controls, and quality over handheld. It being portable or powerful has little influence on that opinion.

Oh right I need to get TNW back online again :0

Look the policy changed! So I can actually link to sites like Facebook without having to annoy Black Six on AIM now! Well yeah so LINKS: Facebook (mostly posts about my personal life, but some LEGO-related stuff too) Twitter (same as Facebook) Tumblr (mostly just bands and fandom stuff) Instagram (my boring self and pictures of where I go) Oh and I changed my blog name

What is that texture pack?

If what's on the page you're linking to would be allowed if it were a BZPower post/blog, then you can link to it. So sites like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr and other sites where content is user-generated, the page/post/video you link would need to be appropriate per BZPower's Rules and Guidelines.

Oh thank goodness. It's terrifying to think of all those noobish, idiotic things I posted just for the sake of posting, and not to actually benefit any discussion. >_>

I've got more Mixels information! http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Mixels There's confirmation of a mobile game, and the Cartoon Network tie-in is a series of shorts that will air on TV and on CartoonNetwork.com. Further information is on the Brickipedia article linked above. There are also going to be three waves of sets!
