From the wikipedia page

Quote:

World takes on the gameplay style of Most Wanted and Carbon, focusing on illegal racing, tuning and police chases, and adds classic MMO elements to the mix such as special abilities. World also features the cities of Rockport and Palmont, the cities of Most Wanted and Carbon respectively, into its map design, along with a full night/day cycle.[3] It also features co-op gameplay and team based game modes where the players play as the police.[citation needed] It will have the most licensed cars, upgrade parts, and game modes ever in the series' history.[4]

EA has also announced that the game won't be completely free. After a certain level, the player won't be able to progress further in the game and will cease to earn any more points. To continue the game, the player has to purchase the NFS World Starter Pack. Without that, the player is allowed to play the game for as long as he or she wants, but the game won't progress.[5]

I've played every NfS since Need For Speed II SE on a 3Dfx graphics card. Aaargh! can't get through to the server "temporarily unavailable or too busy".

**Kymmy** · 03-07-2010, 11:19

I've done one race upto now, won the race but as it went to show the end results it lost the server

Can't get past the create driver page.

I think its trying to check my name is available and timing out.

**Kymmy** · 03-07-2010, 12:36

Level 5 now

Driving a Pink/purple/blue Pearl colored Nissan

Servers do seem to be a bit slow but what can you expect with a beta

I'm enjoying it so far, i also have a Nissan in white

**Kymmy** · 05-07-2010, 08:44

I hired a lotus Elise for the day (great thought on being able to hire) It's still rough around the edges but could work well

Delta Whiskey · 05-07-2010, 08:57

I finally got it installed, but it kept crashing, after an hour of messing about I uninstalled it.

The price is a one off fee of 14.99 which is pretty fair to be honest

punky · 05-07-2010, 17:08

Still can't get past the create driver screen

This is due to the unexpected amount of Beta players.

Note: Also make sure you have downloaded the latest version of the Beta client.

The game releases this coming Tuesday for people who Pre-ordered the Starter Pack.
