LEGO Universe announces upcoming features

Filed under: Real life, Business models, Game mechanics, New titles, LEGO Universe

The upcoming LEGO Universe has recently announced the in-game currency plan they have in store for us. Apparently, you will be able to earn your LEGO bricks by spending more time in the game. "The more you play, the more you get to build things", says LEGO Group director of business and development, Mark William Hansen. The bricks will be traded for coins which players earn in-game.

But one aspect of this news that we find particularly interesting is the real-world component that will be introduced. Users will be able to order physical versions of their online creations to be delivered to their homes. These aren't FigurePrints of your WoW characters, these are real LEGO bricks -- potentially up to 6,000 types -- for use in producing your game creations.
