"LEGO Universe will be shut down early next year. The massively-multiplayer title will be turned off on January 31 as a result of not reaching the number of members required to keep it operational. &amp;quot;Hello Adventurer, today we are very sad to announce that LEGO Universe will be closing on Janurary 31, 2012,&amp;quot; said the developer on the game&amp;#039;s official forums. &amp;quot;This was a very difficult decision to make, but unfortunately LEGO Universe has not been able to attract the number of members needed to keep the game open. &amp;quot;We are thankful to have had the opportunity to share this adventure with an amazing community of players. We hope you will continue to enjoy LEGO Universe for the last few months.&amp;quot; As a thank you, paying subscribers will have the final month of play for free, and those on longer-term subscriptions will be given refunds on February 1. Launching in late 2010, LEGO Universe was a PC title designed for younger audiences, and saw players go on quests and build their own properties. &amp;gt; Read our review of LEGO Universe &amp;gt; Read our interview for LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 Watch gameplay footage of LEGO Universe below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
