   There are a couple of things that I find terribly disturbing in this story's title, and I honestly can't imagine anything good coming out of this thing. But, then again, I felt the same about putting LEGO and Star Wars together, and boy was I wrong... This time around, the way the LEGO Group is trying to further promote its popular brand is - believe it or not - by turning it into a massively-multiplayer game. And to build this LEGO MMO game, they chose NetDevil.

   As you may remember, NetDevil were the ones responsible for Auto Assault, one of last year's most original, yet troubled MMO titles. But despite the fact that they got off to a bad start, NetDevil are currently working on several new MMO games: one is Warmonger, Operation: Downtown Destruction (announced in December), and another one has just been revealed as well.

   Unfortunately, today's announcement bears no details about what kind of gameplay to expect. But at least we can rule out a LEGO Star Wars MMO, since that would be kind of redundant... Other than that, all we have are these two blank statements, given by a couple of officials from LEGO Group and NetDevil:
"As children around the world continue to spend more time online, we are developing new and engaging ways for them to interact with our brand," said Lisbeth Valther Pallesen, Executive Vice President, Community, Education and Direct Division LEGO Group. "The LEGO brand represents construction, creativity and problem solving - values that complement the MMOG market. By merging the online world of social interaction with physical play, the LEGO brand is providing new experiences for children, as well as fans. NetDevil's technological capability, openness to work with a large community, and enthusiasm for the LEGO brand make them a natural partner."

"Playing with LEGO bricks and developing online worlds are both creative activities. To bring them together is deeply professionally satisfying and we look forward to working with the LEGO team," said Scott Brown, president of NetDevil.    I dare you get excited over this!

UPDATE: Speaking of the NetDevil, NCsoft annouced the release of the fourth free content expansion of Auto Assault - which includes the installation of an auction house, the introduction of new vehicle chassis and a new tournament schedule, as well as several quality of life system improvements.
