From March 2010 to September 2010, I participated in the beta testing of LEGO Universe. I have compiled the screenshots I have taken during testing for the world to see.

The Launch Area was built by Venture League for travelers to stop and rest on their way to Nimbus Station.

Back in March 2010, the Launch Area was the last place (not counting the original Avant Gardens property) that players could travel to, so I do remember hanging out at the Launch Area for quite some time, listening to the relaxing music. In addition, this video contains three of the four oldest screenshots I've taken from LEGO Universe; the first was taken on my first day of beta-testing. When I opened up MS Paint or Adobe Photoshop to paste them onto a file in vain, I gave up on trying to take screenshots for a while. It wasn't until May when I discovered those old screenshots waiting to be discovered. As a result, you can see an early beta Sky Lane as well as Greybeard wearing the once-easy-to-achieve captain's hat.

Music is "Only the Beginning of the Adventure" by Harry Gregson-Williams from "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe". I chose this music because it was relaxing and, as its name implies, it is suiting for a location such as the Launch Area, since that's where your adventures have only just begun.
