In an nutshell, Need for Speed World is an online racer masquerading as an MMO, where there is really very little player interaction at all. The open world is a glorified queuing system, and there. Calling All Speed Freaks to the Track. Need for Speed: World is the fifteenth instalment in the hugely popular Need for Speed racing video game franchise. This edition was released in 2010 and is all about illegal and rather reckless street racing. With so many successful predecessors, this game has a lot to live up to.

Gameplay[edit]

A screenshot of early gameplay, when the game was known as Need for Speed: World Online. World combines elements of role-playing with illegal street racing.

World took on the gameplay style of 2005's Most Wanted and 2006's Carbon, focusing on illegal street racing, tuning and police chases, and added some elements to the game such as 'power ups' (somewhat similar to Mario Kart). World was set in a fictional city which combined the cities of Rockport from Most Wanted and Palmont from Carbon into its map design, with redesigned graphics and new locations added to the map to connect the two cities. The game featured over 100 licensed cars consisting of tuners, muscle cars, exotics, race cars and SUVs. Manufactures ranged from Alfa Romeo to Volkswagen and there were over thirty manufactures in the game.

Before September 8, 2010, after reaching level 10 and access to only first tier and some second tier cars, the player would not be able to progress further in the game and would cease to earn any more experience points or cash. To continue the game, the player had to purchase a 'Starter Pack'. Without it, the player was allowed to continue playing the game, but would cease to earn experience and cash.^[3]^[4] On September 8, 2010 World passed one million registrations. To celebrate that, the game was made completely free-to-play and the level cap was removed.^[5]

Performance upgrades and skills[edit]

In the initial release version 4 (July 20, 2010), car performance could be improved via street or pro upgrade kits (purchased with in game cash), depending on the car. Some cars only had street upgrade kits as an option, and the fastest car in the game at the time, the BMW M3 GTR, did not have any upgrade kits. The game also had 'driver skills', three of which directly improved performance (acceleration, handling, top speed) and applied to any car that a player was driving. The skills unlocked as a player leveled up and a player could select up to 49 of 81 possible skills.^[3] Once a skill was chosen, it couldn't be undone, and players would have to start with a new driver or account and level up again in order to choose a different set of skills. In November 2010, with version 5, the upgrade kits were removed and replaced by performance parts, each car having its own set of performance parts.^[6] In May 2012, 'driver skills' were removed from the game and replaced with skill mods, each car having its own set of skill mods. There were no performance skill mods to replace the acceleration, handling, and top speed skills, so the cars ended up being slower. The lowest rated parts or skill mods could be directly purchased for free using in game 'cash', but higher rated parts or skill mods could only be won by chance from card packs, either free 'lucky draw' card packs rewarded at the end of any event, or card packs purchased with real money converted into the games microtransaction currency called 'speed boost'.^[7]^[8]

Visual aftermarket parts[edit]

On March 16, 2011, visual aftermarket parts were made available, and later added to lucky draw in December,
