How to make Little Big Planet more of a social game and a few other suggestions Ok, at the moment sackpeople can't communicate much, only inviting someone to join you and talking to them is really the only way. What I'm getting at here is that there really is no way to meet new people in-game so here are my idea's..... 1. In-game Blogs How about having in-game blogs? Which you can put all your updates about what you are doing in the game or anything cool has happened. Plus, to inform your fans (if you have any) How your projects are coming along. 2. Social Groups/Creator Groups This would be really good for collaberative projects and for when online create comes along. Groups should be the same as creators, if a group publishes a level it should go into the same section as the levels made by a single creator. You should be able to heart groups like creators and they should have the same type of profile apart from it says what members are in the group aswell. Anyone should be able to start up a group, all they would have to do is fill in a quick form. In the form you should.... Enter the name of the group, set the rules and choose whether it is an "Open Group" (Anyone can join without having to ask or be invited) or a "Private Group" (Groups where people have to be invited, the leader or the group admins can invite people.) Leaders can control the whole group by themselves or get admins to help them. A group will get a whole new moon to create their levels, any normal member can log onto their groups moon and make a level or edit one that's already there but the leader or admins have to publish them. 3. In-game Chat Rooms Ok, this would be pretty cool to meet new people or to chat to more than four at the same time. If your looking to start up a new group, if your looking for someone to play with, if your looking to tell people about your creations and if your just looking for a chat, this would be ideal. Like the groups, anyone can make a chat room. Give it a name, give it a password (optional), give it a player limit, maybe give it a genre. In the chat room you should be able to bring your cursor over someones name and select it to view their profile. 4. Level and Creator Links Also, what would be cool is to post level links in a chat room, for example lbp.The Temple of Doom.lvl, that would just be pure awesomeness XD. You should also be able to put level links in your level discriptions aswell, for example "This level was inspired by lbp.The Tale of the Magnifisent Ruby.lvl." Or a creator "This level was inspired by lbp.Geosautus.ctr" Also one for groups "lbp.The Flying Monkeys.grp" 4. Creator and Group planet So there is 3 planets right? "My Moon," "Little Big Planet" and "Info Moon." Well how about a fourth planet/moon, like "Little Big Planet" but with creators instead of levels? If not, at least have scoreboards for it on "Info Moon." 5.LBP Updater This is a handy lil' thing that pops up as soon as you log onto Little Big Planet Online. Like the news section on info moon but UPDATED MORE FREQUENTLY. Just a thing to tell you what's goin down in the LBP universe. Basically updated as much as MM's blog www.mediamolecule.com , hopefully more. 6.Level Organising and Level Types I know this doesn't have much to do with this topic but I thought I might just chuck it in. It would be useful to make folders in your profile that other people see when they select the "see all levels by this author" button. So lets they that you wanted to organise all your survival challenges into one folder or put levels that are in the same level series in the same place. Furthermore, it would be good if you could organise your hearted levels and authors into folders as well. Another thing that I want to suggest is Level types, just a quick option while publishing your level to save it as a community level, a survival challenge or score challenge etc.... Just a quick thing, that comes up when you go on a level in the menu beside the name. Also, for when you collect a key in another persons level it comes up with survival challenge or score challenge like in the story missions. Maybe this could allow new search types, like highest rated survival challenge etc.... 7.More Random **** to do What I mean by this is, random stuff to do while playing a level. At the moment we can stick stickers on things, punch other people, shoot at each other with paint guns etc.... So, maybe we could have more stuff to do like that? How about new emotions, like break dancing or something. How about the ability to launch a small mini game while playing a level. If not, how about a paint tool to draw a naught's and crosses board on a wall and have a quick game. With a paint tool the possibilities would be endless . I think that's about it for now I'll be adding more stuff

That's a cool idea, but including this makes LBP more complex then it has to be. Also the internet and forums way works fine for those who want this features so why should MM make the efford to include this ingame?

Some people can't be bothered to go online and look up LBP forums. Some people don't even know there are forums. The chat rooms will be different to forums anyway. More like an open MSN chat.

They should make something similar to a pod but then for like 8 players... Yeah >_> seriously... that would be fun xD

I'm not sure that would work, too much lag. It might for people with blazing fast internet connections though.

But there are games with like 60 players in one match... Like resistance >_> They only put in the 4-player limit because it would become a chaos once people start to play levels...

I guess, but I still get lag with four players. Even if I'm in my pod.

Yeah... you're right about that :/ Well i guess it would still be fun though xD

Those are some great ideas! I especially like the creator groups and the in-game chat room ideas.

This thread reminded me again that this game should have been designed as basically a YouTube copy... .
