Any word on if there will be any PvP in this game and what it will look like?
Comments
their website has word of single and team pvp but thats about it
i would think since this game seems more geared towards children and young teens, i don't see much pvp focus beyond mini-games like racing and puzzles.

I'm coming into this thread without any research or knowledge of what this LEGO Universe MMORPG is but I can answer this.
Legos without M Trons , Blacktrons, pirates, or medieval knights fighting each other might as well not be a lego game. It doesn't have to have blood, but as a little boy I played with army men, legos, race cars, marbles, and toy guns. Boyish stuff.
Even Mario Kart for the SNES had combat.

I just wouldn't expect to see the norm of pvp where players duel and fight each other with their combos/specials. I'd expect the pvp to be in the form of mini-games.
Yes Mario Kart had combat, but you had to collect your weapons by driving around and you couldn't click on your target to track them.

if anyone knows the exact pvp system then please chime in. otherwise this whole thread is speculation until we get beta leaks or open beta.

I just had that great image in my head.....
Players building castles or space station and have to defend them against other players. You could ride dragons (u know, these cool green ones...) oder build your own little starships and siege weapons. Would be the most Epic PvP Scenario ever.
But i don't think that is going to happen
