It seems that every week we are making another announcement of a P2P MMO switching over the Free 2 Play and this week it’s LEGO Universe. Starting in August, LEGO Universe will offer players two choices when signing up, free and premium membership. Free players will have an unlimited amount of time to play, however have restrictions as to where they can go and what they can do.
LEGO Universe will still gain revenue from its subscribers as there is no plan currently to add an item store, however that might change down the line. The restrictions for free players will be limiting players to two adventure zones and one player property area for building their own virtual LEGO models.
Starting in August, new players will not need to purchase the LEGO Universe DVD and the game will be available on the site for free to download.
