My LEGO Network is an interactive online game on LEGO.com.
Plot
My LEGO Network (or MLN for short) is a Flash- and ASP.NET-based childrens' social networking site built especially for LEGO fans by the LEGO Group. It integrates standard social networking with a gaming function, where players can advance through the Ranks and exchange virtual prizes. The game also allows interactions with other players through pre-written mail messages and integrates with the showcasing systems of LEGO.com. --My Lego Network Wiki
History
My LEGO Network was designed to replace the original LEGO Club Pages. The website was released for Beta in late 2007, and was officially released in January 2008.
Today, players can gain up to Rank 10, and there are hundreds of Items and Modules for players to trade, create and display. The game supports thousands of players.
The main point of My LEGO Network was to improve the LEGO Club Pages. My LEGO Network is made to be capable of expressing what you have accomplished or what you do. In My LEGO Network you go through different ranks as you progress through the game.

Story
My LEGO Network is a game where you begin at Rank 0, and complete masterpieces to advance in rank, with the final rank 10. There are rumors of a rank 11. But has been cleared up by the XML showing no evidence for any further ranks. As you go through My LEGO Network, you will become friends with other users, along with several Networkers. Networkers are similar to users, only they are programed into the game. Some Networkers are not yet finished, like Jamie, Simon, and Attachment. Unfinished Networkers do not do anything, but Jamie and Simon accept friend requests as secret networkers. Networkers (not unfinished networkers) will give you items, modules, blueprints, badges, loops or stickers. Items are what you use to trade, mail, build, or use. Blueprints are what you use to build items, masterpieces, modules, or badges. Modules are what you put on you page to trade, collect, or display on your page.
Secret Networkers do not show up on your friendslist for other people. These networkers must be found by piecing together clues from networker's mail, or finding a way to get the names from the LEGO Message Boards.
