| - The front end is the user interface for a computer program.
- The Front End, also referred to as the Login Screen and Character Select screen, is the first element players see after launching LEGO Universe. The Login Screen has a white/blue background, with a few minifigures and other characters running around in the background. Bob is seen in the front of the log in section itself. He covers his eyes when players enters their passwords, and then the scenery zooms off to the Character Select Screen. While logging in, a number of animations play in the background. A character dressed like a Nexus Astronaut gets chased around by a black-purple dragon, but the tables turn when the Nexus Astronaut grabs a Sentinel Knight Sword and Shield. A Stromling pops up from the edges of the screen or from behind the log-in area to stare at the player. A Stromling Ape roams about, roars at the player, and is ultimately smashed by a minifigure launching himself out of a cannon. Two minifigures in Race Cars race each other, only for one to crash his car off-screen. There are four minifigures on the Character Select Screen. If the player is just beginning LEGO Universe, he or she will find that there are four empty Minifigures with Creative Sparks floating in them. If the player already has minifigures, the one in the front appears to be excited, with the other three saddened. When the player clicks the create a Minfigure button, the player will be able to select a hairstyle, head, Shirt, and Pants, along with a few color optimizations for each. Once the player is done, he or she can either choose a custom name or a name from the "Nameinator". Once he or she has done that, they can click play to enter a LEGO Universe server. Upon clicking the Delete button on a minifigure, the player will be prompted asking to confirm deletion. Once the player types in his or her password, the minifigure will be vacuumed into non-existence, and it's Creative Spark will be left for the player to create a new character.
