It's a crucial part of the vision of Soapbox Race World, the fan-made project that slowly brought EA's ill-fated MMO back to life. I'm terribly outclassed in my Dodge Challenger RT, but I don't mind because the higher level players who are about to leave me in their dust earned their rides instead of paying for them.
It's a sunny afternoon in the virtual city of Palmont when I pull up next to a Lamborghini Estoque and a Toyota Supra. Until we say soĪt first I didn't believe they revived this game until I played it, then quickly I got addicted again. And in reviving it and tearing down its greedy microtransactions, Need for Speed: World's fans have finally unearthed its hidden potential. Need for Speed: World lives on thanks to private servers, which initially set out to create an offline version of the MMO but have since evolved into a thriving community home to thousands of players racing online.
That should have been the end, but today Need for Speed: World is more popular than ever.
