Names The Same is no longer a trope
Deleted line(s) 3,4 (click to see context) :
* NamesTheSame: "Jimmy Changa" is one of the suggested phrases for the chat, suggesting that [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Jimmy Changa was the name of an NPC who never saw the light of day]]. Interestingly, Jimmy Changa is the name of a ''LEGO Soccer Mania'' character based on the Toys/LEGOAdventurers line. While it's possible that the ''LEGO Universe'' Jimmy Changa might have been intended to be the same Jimmy Changa as the one in ''LEGO Soccer Mania'', since we have no confirmation on the subject, it's most likely an unrelated coincidence.
** Some of ''VideoGame/LEGOIsland'''s more cynical fans might argue that the ''LEGO Universe'' Sky Lane is not intended to be the same character as the ''Island Xtreme Stunts'' Sky Lane, and the fact that they share the same name is just coincidence. Many others, however, believe that they are the same character and it's not just NamesTheSame.

Other worlds in the works include Ninjago-themed properties, a Ninjago Earth Gauntlet, two other Ninjago dungeons themed around ice and lightning, respectively, and an entire world based on [[LEGOCastle LEGO Kingdoms]], complete with a [[RecycledScript recycled]] PVP map from the game's early development days. The final trunk build of ''LEGO Universe'' showed other soon-to-be-released features, such as vendor dialogue and customizable hair options.

This is widely misattributed as the sole reason for the game's cancellation. While a contributing factor for sure, it's pretty generous to say it was the only reason it died.

* TroubledProduction: ''LEGO Universe'' was developed in a very trial-and-error sort of way, because LEGO representitives didn't have a clear idea of what they wanted, only guidelines for what they wouldn't be okay with. Add in some high demands from the parent company (such as a condition in the contract that the game have zero bugs upon release) and that makes for a prolonged development cycle.
