If you didn't read this weeks news yet, then please check out the post below. We've been informed by Customer Employee Tomium that the game will become buy-to-play this summer. Meaning that you will have to do one purchase with money to be able to continue playing. If you haven't spend any money yet on the game, then you get locked out, and all what you have collected is gathering dust until you purchase the game. That being said, I'm here to present you another post of what's coming up in LMO beside the pay news, sigh.

Last week I talked about the new crafting thing that's really much done. Now I will be talking about something that's really early in the pipelines of development. It was there in LEGO Universe, it's been suggested a lot of times on the LMB's: https://community.lego.com/t5/MINIFIGURES-ONLINE/Pets/m-p/10740289#M10400

Anyway, they are coming. Pets are coming to LMO. You'll be able to get a number of pets. From what I have been gathering, LMO devs just made up the selection screen in the main menu as of right now with some placeholder data. How pets will interact with the gameplat is something that hasn't been developed/tested so far.

Pets are coming on the place where bricks have been. Meaning that the bricks section will be unavailable soon. It's one of the best deciseons in my opinion that Funcom had lately. Bricks were great to collect, but if you used them or not on a baseplate, you didn't know how they involved your gameplay and in what way it was making your gameplay easier. That being said again, bricks are along with diamonds being removed from the game. The questions is when? :p
