Hey everyone, from what people have been asking recently, I really want to explain what’s taking so long with Darkflame LEGO Universe (DLU) and why I urge people to stop waiting and rather keep a lookout instead.

We have made some amazing progress over the past year (I have personally witnesses / worked on it), but we are not ready to stage a release yet. It’s painfully long work, and many of us (myself included) are in college or have jobs and don’t have a ton of free time (and trust me, I could spend 8 hours a day for a week and still make only small progress). Nevertheless, sometime in the next two years or so we should have something playable. The reason is that deadlines are hard to meet due to the nature of the server we are recreating, and thus we chose not to hold ourselves to them. The best way I can describe this is that it is done when it’s done. In addition, what we want is a working game. LEGO Universe is not a new game being developed from scratch – not only do we have to code a server, but we also have to figure out how data is sent between the server and the client or vice versa. Yes, lcdr and humanoid (the original creators of the server) have done a good deal of public research, but there’s still plenty that isn’t covered and must be deduced, which for many can take years (our team is good though!). So if we were to release now, you may be able to do some things, but more than likely you would have a lot of issues that we can’t help right now, so we want to make it playable first.

But don’t worry – LEGO Universe has not died. Now, I would highly urge people to live their lives as they wait for the project to be released (don’t let this hold people back in anxious waiting) but when we are done, y’all will be some of the first to know. Study in school, get jobs, go to college, get married, and live your life all the while keeping an eye out for us in the background. Listen – we want to open up as much as y’all as our team is small – terrible for playing an MMOG :P. But we will eventually open something if we quit or finalize the project.
