Lego Universe has been quite the topic for MMO Fallout over the past week or so, and Lego Team hopes to make the game a little more MMO-ish in the coming weeks. One aspect Lego Universe has been missing is player levels, rather players join a faction and level up through the ranks by completing missions and mini-games, obtaining better gear as they obtain ranks and tokens. In the next few weeks, Lego hopes to turn all of that upside down by introducing levels.
In an announcement, players will be able to level to 40, obtaining rewards along the way including buffs, pets, and gear. Rather than forcing players to grind mobs, minifigures will simply need to collect u-score, which most players already do, by completing missions, achievements, and mini-games. That u-score will determine your level.
For players worried about their high level gear, Lego already has that covered. When the update goes live, players will be able to wield anything linked to their character, regardless of level.
