''LEGO Legends of Chima Online'' is a a MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame developed by Creator/TravellersTales and based on the ''WesternAnimation/LegendsOfChima'' ''Franchise/{{LEGO}}'' theme.
You play as the commander of a small jungle outpost in the wilds of Chima, having recently been assigned to the position by proving yourself in battle to Prince Laval of the Lion Tribe. As you build up your outpost, explore a variety of landscapes, and battle hostile Tribes, you (along with various allies) discover a plot originating from the Crocodile royal family with concerning implications for the balance of Chima.
Alas, [[DefunctOnlineVideoGames the game has since been shut down]]; with open beta beginning in August 2013 and the game being closed on June 1 2015, it barely lasted two years. However, a fan project to rebuild the game called LOCO Online is in development.
----
!!This game contains the following tropes:
* AbilityRequiredToProceed: Various overworld obstacles require the usage of special tools in order to overcome them.
** Disassembled bridges need to have the Builder used on them so they can be rebuilt.
** Blocker gates can be destroyed with the Sonic Boomer.
** Zapplers can shut off the power sources keeping large walls up.
** The Grappling Hook is used to traverse elevated terrain by either pulling the player to a different terrain level or moving across platforms.
** Some obstacles are deactivated by using a ranged weapon to shoot a nearby target board.
** Plants in the Outlands can be repulsed by launching stink bombs at them.
* AllegedlyFreeGame: While the game is free to play, having a Premium membership streamlines gameplay significantly through having additional inventory slots and more space in the outpost to place buildings for stronger combat abilities, in addition to the ability to equip better gear. Memberships also make acquiring and retaining the game's PremiumCurrency of Gold Bricks much easier, as Premium members don't have to pay Gold Bricks to open purple chests and receive the bricks as additional quest rewards. One mitigating factor is that outpost expansions bought with Premium membership remain accessible once it expires.
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: When deployed, [[SentryGun Proto-Spewers]] have a timer above them showing how much longer they'll be active so the player isn't caught off-guard when they collapse into a pile of bricks.
* BigWhat: In the "A World of Adventure Awaits You" trailer, Longtooth shouts ''"WHAT?"'' upon being told Prince Laval can't be sent any backup because the last few spare troops just went out to a different part of Chima.
* CatharticExhalation: In the "A World of Adventure Awaits You" trailer, a Lion tasked with keeping tabs on where their troops have been sent looks visibly nervous upon realizing that the lack of soldiers available to go help their Prince means he might have to go out and fight. Upon Longtooth saying they obviously can't send ''him'', he promptly wipes the sweat off his brow and sighs in relief.
* CompanyCrossReferences: A possible player name component is "Stromling", which are the {{Mooks}} from previous Lego MMORPG ''VideoGame/LegoUniverse''.
* CriticalAnnoyance: When the player's health drops to sufficiently low levels, the game makes a few chirp-like beeping sounds to draw attention to this fact.
* DeadlyGas: The Outlands have clouds of green gas scattered around. Walking into one will damage the player while they're in it and inflict a debuff of a poison cloud that continues damaging them for a few seconds once they get out of it.
* DefensiveWhat: In the "A World of Adventure Awaits You" trailer, Longtooth runs up to another Lion taking notes on soldiers being deployed and tells him they need to send Laval some backup, only for the notetaker Lion to tell him they just sent the last of the troops elsewhere. After Longtooth lets out a BigWhat at the news, the notetaker Lion echoes him with an indignant-sounding "What?", as he's just doing his job.
* DesignItYourselfEquipment: The colors of crafted weapons can be customized by using differently colored Lego bricks while building them.
* DungeonCrawling: The land of Chima is dotted with various dungeons, varying in aesthetics from mines to underground swamps to temples. Many quests have reaching a certain point within a dungeon as an objective.
* EasterEgg: While not visible under normal circumstances, the game bugging out can reveal that the default player name is "Tony [=TheTiger=]" after the cereal mascot of the same name.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Despite a name being selectable at the beginning of the game, the player is only ever referred to by their rank of Commander by dialogue and text.
* ExperienceBooster: The various types of Intello-Juice grant a fifteen percent increase to the amount of experience points earned, with the duration varying based on what kind it is.
* ForceFieldDoor: Various sections of the map are sectioned off with gates made of a shimmering energy field. A Sonic Boomer can temporarily shut off the energy field and allow a player to pass through.
* GratuitousDiscoSequence: Disco Fever is a status ailment in this game, as the Grandmaster Dash weapon summons a disco ball that forces nearby enemies to drop everything and dance to disco music while taking damage.
* HelloInsertNameHere: Player character names are chosen from three sets of words consisting of an adjective followed by two more adjectives and/or nouns smashed together, such as "Intrepid [=BeastlyCyborg=]" or "Cunning [=SeaRogue=]". However, all dialogue and text refer to the player by their title of Commander.
* HoldTheLine: Reactivating portals requires defending them from waves of enemies until they finish powering up, indicated by a blue ring that lights up to serve as a progress bar.
* HolidayMode: The Winterfest event is Christmas-themed and has several winter-themed brick-built objects spawn around the map, along with harder-than-normal bosses and exclusive gear.
* ItemCrafting: The game has a simple crafting system where Lego bricks of various sizes are used to make weapons and equipment.
* IWarnedYou: A series of signs placed along a passage in Broken Lake warns players of powerful enemies being nearby. At the end of the passage are a pair of Crocodiles that are three levels higher than the surrounding enemies, along with a sign saying "Told you!"
* LostTechnology: Chima's PortalNetwork includes several ancient portals believed to be a thousand years old, dating them to the era when the tribes had just become sapient. Who built them and why remains unknown; however, the player is encouraged to activate as many of them as possible to speed up traveling around the map and swarms of enemies will show up in an effort to stop them.
* MeaningfulName: Rheekon the Rhinoceros's main role in the plot is to perform ''recon''naissance for the player.
* NoobCave: Following the flow of the "Prints of Thieves" quest will lead players to an unnamed cave in the Grand Stand, which completely lacks enemies and has a large treasure chest near the entrance. The other two dungeons in the area, the Underground Passage and a Brick Mine, likewise have simplistic layouts and are sparsely populated with low-level enemy Crocodiles; the Underground Passage introduces the concept of dungeons with multiple exits being useful for reaching new areas, while the Brick Mine is the first area to emphasize gathering materials to build new equipment with.
* PremiumCurrency: In addition to the base currency of studs, the game has Gold Bricks, which can either be purchased with real money or earned as a reward for various accomplishments. They can be used to speed up crafting and building construction, increase the number of inventory slots available, purchase better weapons and armor, and buy more colors of bricks to customize equipment.
* PurelyAestheticGender: Due to all the character parts reusing designs from pre-existing ''Chima'' characters, the only tribe that even has the option for players to be a female character is the Eagles (due to Eris being a protagonist in other media) and it has zero impact on gameplay.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In the "A World of Adventure Awaits You" trailer, a Lion whose forte is managing troop numbers narrowly manages to avoid being sent into battle to help Prince Laval. After he's passed over for the task, he promptly runs off before Longtooth can reconsider his decision.
* SentryGun: Proto-Spewers are eagle-themed gun turrets that can be deployed to automatically shoot at enemies for a short while.
* ShamuFu: One type of weapon is "A Large Trout". The description comments on the fish's bad smell and recommends using it to hit someone.
* ShoutOut:
** The first quest to retrieve stolen item blueprints is called [[Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves "Prints of Thieves"]].
** A signpost near a raised drawbridge reads [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing "You shall not pass!"]]
** Several components for player names are nonsense words from ''Literature/{{Jabberwocky}}'', including "Slithy", "Momerath", "Frumious", "Vorpal" and "Frabjous".
** [[WesternAnimation/BugsBunny "Wabbit"]] is a potential player name competent.
* SocializationBonus: Boosting the buildings at other players' Outposts enough times will grant the player one [[PremiumCurrency Gold Brick]] per day.
* StockFootage: Several early trailers for the game have a clip of Laval looking at Mount Cavora in the distance that's reused from his character introduction teaser.
* SupernaturalFearInducer: Certain weapons can induce a fear status effect, which causes those afflicted to randomly run around until it wears off.
* ThereAreTwoKindsOfPeopleInTheWorld: The [[https://web.archive.org/web/20131026220127/https://na.chimaonline.com/en/announcement/expand-your-land "Expand Your Land" post]] on the game's website has Longtooth say there are two types of Commanders when it comes to outposts: the ones who expand their territory and those who don't.
* ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks: Some obstacles can be taken down by throwing Laval's Shield at targets in a specific order.
* VerbalBackpedaling:
** During the tutorial, Laval briefly refers to Cragger as his friend before correcting himself to refer to Cragger as a power-hungry king.
--->'''Laval:''' Ever since my friend -- I mean, ever since King Cragger [[EvilFormerFriend became obsessed with conquering Chima]]...
** After Crawley accidentally reveals that Cragger's sister Crooler is plotting something, he attempts to cover it up by claiming the Crocodiles are going to become crueler.
--->'''Crawley:''' Look, it's bad enough for you that King Cragger's got you in his sights, but if you mess with CROOLER's plans-\\
'''Elida:''' Crooler? Cragger's sister? What does she have to do with this?\\
'''Crawley:''' Ah, er, I mean, uh, we'll be a lot more 'crueler', CRUELER - yeah, if you don't, er-
* WhenIWasYourAge: The [[https://web.archive.org/web/20131026220127/https://na.chimaonline.com/en/announcement/expand-your-land "Expand Your Land" post]] on the game's website has Longtooth comment on the younger generations using [[PremiumCurrency Gold Bricks]] to expedite outpost development.
-->"You kids today have it easy with your GOLD BRICKS! In my day, we had to clear the land plant by plant! And don’t even get me started on the Lion Temple!"
