Sonic322 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Can't we petition to have Rock Raiders put into LEGO Universe but have them on Planet U with all the right monsters and characters and the LMS orbiting around the planet and have nothing to do with the Power Miners at all? I mean we would have to word it better and it will be hard but if it worked then there would be so many happy fans and just think of how many people will find out about RRU when they hear about this.

aLPHA Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hmm...Sonic has a very good idea Does anybody know how lego universe works, and if modifying it is illegal? The engine doesn't look too difficult to crack, and the models look very simple. Maybe if us as a community pushed lego to do it, they would do it for us.

Sonic322 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 If we did do this then: Who would start it? How would we start it? Would we make a public one option poll so you can see everyone who voted? How would we represent it to LEGO? There are probably more questions but I can't think of any.

At the least, you'll be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he answers yes, we shall go on! Axel and Jet's helmet's already by in game anyway. "Since the last standing LEGO patent expired in 1988, several companies manufactured blocks which are similar to LEGO blocks in appearance and function.

I dunno Seamonster, lets see what Karl says about this. If its a yes we will go on with the plan, anyway Axel and Jets helmet are already in the game. I say yes. Well, what i was saying was that Rock Raiders United should not try to hack LU. I have read that LEGO dosen`t like "Fakers" that is riping of their styles: "Since the last standing LEGO patent expired in 1988, several companies manufactured blocks which are similar to LEGO blocks in appearance and function.

The players will be able to mind Maelstrom ore and a new object, Maelstrom crystals, and the enemies will be maelstrom versions of the original rock monsters and slime slugs, and the new rock monsters and fire monsters. And with new vehicles and gears." Here is my E-mail that is send to them. "I have an new idea for LEGO Universe.

You are propsing that we sendeth an email requesting they do not make an RR or PM world, ruining mine dream!? Thy arth an idiot. PM and RR are from different times and places. So, what you are saying is that i shall just send them a new E-mail and say to them that they docent need to make the world, and that they shall just ignore the E-mails that ask them that, needer RR or PM will be in LU, good job ruining the dream, you idiot.

I thinketh they understandeth, and if not, sendeth them an email asking if RR and PM joineth the Nexus force. RR can be in thee assembly and PM in thy venture league or sentinels. RR hath more advanced mining equipment while PM hath better exploration and defense. I'm saying that you need to tell them PM and RR need seperate places to "live." I think they understand that, and if not, maybe you should send them a E-mail and ask them if RR and PM should be new members of the Nexus Force. like RR would be in the Assembly and PM would be in ether Venture League or the Sentinels. Becose RR is has more advance mining gears and units while PM gears and units looks more like exploring and/or defense based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol username Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 As for modding a world into LU, no. First, modding LU is the best way to get you banned from the game (against the EULA), second, it wouldn't work with other players/servers because it's an MMOG and you're not the only one playing, it's hooked up to the internet and runs off of servers in Colorado. As for an appearance of Rock Raiders and Power Miners in a world, as I said in an earlier post, there is evidence in the game files that one is already planned (my guess is it's tied in with the Spider Boss Cave in Avant Gardens). So there is a chance they are already working on one. There's also stuff that points to underwater worlds, western type worlds, a sort of Agents/Alpha Team-ish world, etc. They have the next five years planned out already, according to Ryan Seabury, who's leading the project.

Some of you do say that Rock Raiders and Power Miners cannot coexist or that Lego Universe would force the families to follow a dress code as to look dissimilar to their original countenances. The most prominent complaints is that they are from different kingdoms. Relations could still be agreed upon, as Rock Raiders would make smashing members of The Assembly due to their advances in technology. Allow me to ponder something for but a moment... ah. Entertain my words for a bit longer. If the idea for a world purely inhabited by Rock Raiders and Power Miners is planned, then mayhaps we of Rock Raiders United could ask of the architects if they could construct a fourth type of soldier to all of the factions herein, perhaps an Assembly miner or a Venture League geologist. Do tell me your thoughts. But still, some of you are saying that RR and PM cant work or that LU will just change the caracters so they wont look like their original disigne. But the biggest complain is that they are from two different time and areas. well i still mean this can work, RR is perfect as members of the Assembly becose of their advanced technology and gears. Hmmm....aha...hey, maybe if the idea of an RR and PM world is planned, then maybe we in RRU could ask them if they could make a fourth new type of factions type to all of the factions, like an Assembly miner, and a Venture League geologist.

aLPHA Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 So? What if I hax0red (lol, spellcheck allowed that as a word) the game, and made it single player, meaning that it doesn't need an internet connection to run. It would be very illegal, but it's not illegal until you get caught. Also, EULA of Lego Star Wars 1 says that it's illegal to modify it, and I modify it all the time.

Glisp Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Okay, here's why Lego Rock Raiders should be separate from Power Miners: 1. Power Miners sucks 2. They are two entirely different Lego Franchises and deserve two different worlds with no relation to the other Franchise AT ALL. 3. Power Miners sucks. So yeah Seamonster. They shouldn't have anything to do with each other at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 And as I've explained before, the PM monsters are alien speies, not element monsters, but Lego keeps forgetting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamonster Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Hold thine tongues! They need not be segregated, they can plan new classes of the Nexus Force. Put your head to good use. Power Miners and Rock Raiders are quite similar, the minor differences being that Rock Raiders live amongst the stars and Power Miners call our Earth their home. In Lego Universe, they could be members of any union. The Assembly, Sentinel, Venture Leagues, or even The Paradox. Lend me your ears and cease this naysaying of Lego Universe. If you refuse, then you might as well slander everything else for us! If this is what you craven curs are attempting, then you are nothing more than a TRYONAGROSUFERS.

And not Nexus force stuff. Rock Raiders and Power miners are NOT the same thing. Rock Raiders is good, Power Miners is bad. Rock Raiders is on an alien planetcollecting energy crystals and studying monsters and having small high-tech vehicles, PM is fighting off aliens and big ugly vehicles. Also, RR should NOT be part of any nexus and be seperate on Planet U, Maelstrom-free. How are we "ruinign LU"? We're discussing LRR and LPM in that game, and we think they should be seperate since they are different and PM sucks. That doesn't "ruin everything for everyone".

Tauka Usanake Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I would TOTALLY want to make LU single player and therefore not have to pay monthly. Lego has messed around enough already that they don't deserve much else. And what could Lego do if it was single player? If you're smart you wouldn't connect to the Internet with that game and if smarter you wouldn't update it without having a check for a patch in your hack. And if anyone else wants to do that they can well do it. Tons of games are hacked on a daily basis and little to nothing happens. Besides, at best you can only make the game single player. You can't do anything in multi without hacking the central servers. After getting it in single though you could try modding things in it like models and so. And isn't that what we are doing in LRR anyways, minus the make single player part? RR and PM SHOULD be separate. They are different sets in different worlds and have no reason to be together. I also vote that RR should not be in LU because of above mentioned reasons like the malestorm and still just in case Johnny Thunder. Lego can ALWAYS mess up again.

aLPHA Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I dislike power miners because of the overuse of special pieces, and how their stupid trashcan monsters give a bad name to rock monster. Also, what is the point of their mission? go to the core of the planet with stupid vehicles, without even the slightest idea that doing so would cause a super volcano to form, wiping out all the life on earth.

lol username Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I would like to see both themes in the game for sure, I just don't want any continuity violations in the process. Also, Power Miners seems to get a lot of negative attention, more then it deserves anyways. The theme was anything but perfect (it's mainly the story and "monsters" that bother me, I actually like the color scheme as Lime Green and Orange aren't used much and this has let me stock up on parts in those colors). IMO the minifigures are on par with Rock Raiders, especially the 2010 silver ones. It's also nice to have the crystal pieces in more colors now for MOCs. But the plot has more holes then swiss cheese, and the monsters have the IQ of a tree and don't put up a fight (and don't forget the web videos, "Happy Burpday" is just too stupid for words). Otherwise it was an ok theme. Not as good as RR, but ok. If they hadn't wrecked the monsters and used a better story, it would have been fairly good.

Amauros Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I don't care what they do with PM, as long as there's not a connection drawn between PM and RR. RR is a classic and makes some sense, PM isn't classic nor makes that much sense. Lets not splotch up RR with PM ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
