Need for speed World online. Legends never die. How to start playing?

in #utopian-io8 years ago (edited)

Hi all. Today I would like to tell you about the fate of one is very interesting games for my and your youth - need for speed world online.

Need for speed world is an online racing simulator created companies Electronic Arts. The game was released on the basis of the model Free-to-play but players can purchase in-game currency SpeedBoost for real money to get extra advantage over other players. SpeedBoost was used to purchase new cars and certain improvements that were not available in stores.

Game location was a open game world formed of several cities in Need for Speed Carbon and Most Wanted. Was implemented, changing the time of day. For the implementation of certain events, devoted to the holidays, the developers have changed these locations.

Exploring the map, players could meet other players. He could interact with them (chat, add friend, invite to the race, etc.)

The game was presented with a huge number of races that were found in almost all locations. The player could compete with bots with other players. Identifies the following types of races: sprint, circuit, team escape, treasure hunt, pursuit, drag, searching for treasure.

Now I would like to tell you why this game is so much like me:

  • Low system requirements. This is a very important item, I just put it in the first place. In those days few people had a powerful computer. Location is presented in Need for Speed Word was well optimized by the developers, thereby high fps even on a weak computer.
  • Friendly community. A lot of players from different countries united by one idea communicated with each other, thereby created the good atmosphere that you will not find in any other game.
  • A variety of cars. Presents the player the choice of cars was really great. With each level of his career opened. Also in any moment it was possible to buy cars for SpeedBoost.
  • Democratic price. Pricing for SpeedBoost was quite adequate. Everyone could afford to buy the premium currency, thus there was a huge demand.

However, good always ends sooner or later, therefore, on 14 July 2015, the developers announced the closure of the game. The community was in shock, nobody wanted to believe it, but there it was..

Here's the latest message from the developers:

 "Whole era came to an end! The greatest era has sunk into oblivion! The past 5 years flashed in an instant, as one happy moment, for which to live. 
Over the years, someone has had children, somebody's grandchildren went to school, someone a full head of hair gave way to a bald head, sparse tendrils of a schoolboy turned into a manly beard. Time is relentlessly running ahead, the years passed one by one, in the life of the kaleidoscope single nagibatorov followed another, boosts ended and again replenished (all imaginable and unimaginable ways). We improved their cars, bringing them to the limit: hours chose rims and body kits, weeks gave the cars originality and uniqueness of their vinyls, months knocked details on eagle drive, the years have chosen the correct schema. We were looking for developers organized their own festivals and Championships, sometimes even filmed a movie. We found new friends, lost accounts and started all over again, reborn from the ashes, Phoenix-like, clawing at the top leaderbords fighting for every position, were teamed up for one common goal, but most importantly, we became a family.
For many of us It was the meaning of life, for some of the World replaced the real world. Need for Speed World has been with us all this time, shared our joys and sympathized with the setbacks. Little penny from a anniversary, the game ceased to exist, but she will forever remain in our hearts. Infinitely sad and excruciatingly painful that the best of us leave so early. Death Need for Speed World has left a gaping chasm within us that is unlikely to be able to fill in anything else!
RIP NFS World" — nfs-world.com


The community didn't want to believe it, so said:

"There is no real end for NFSW until we say so."


At a time when Need for Speed World was preparing to close, many fans and lovers of the series at the moment thinking about the possibility of porting games to "stock". The community has not receded not a step, and after six months was ready early alpha build of offline servers. Had only to roll it into the finished game files, which were introduced in the last update, and start to ride alone, or rather with bots. But race is not the most important thing in this venture. Many designers that used the World for its road projects have been distressed at the rapid decline of the game. Accordingly, while there are those who are not indifferent – she will live.

Created the first version of the game called Need For Speed Offline.

It was a offline version of a closed online game Need for Speed World. After the closure of the official servers, Electronic Arts has left former players and fans of this game with anything - all accounts have been removed, together with the machinery and stuff for real money, and the game was just abandoned in an unusable state. To give the opportunity to start and play NFS World (albeit one), was created an offline server, which does not depend on EA.

Was originally running two servers World Evolved and SBRW Open-Beta, which were later combined in the server Apex.

Apex - a new server for Need for Speed World is the result of merging the two biggest servers, the goal was to create a single space for the game both Russian and foreign players with large capacity and direct support of the developers.

At the moment, the development team has already submitted your launcher, thus the game was revived and now you can play!

Version features:

  • A small online. Currently on the server playing a small number of players, as many still don't know about the appearance of this server.
  • The presence of bugs. The version is not official and of course the presence of certain bugs, however, developers often release updates and eliminate them.
  • A variety of cars. The developers have released a large number of cars that were not available even in the official version of the game! Even police cars.
  • Problem with ping. The server is in America, so there may be some delays.
  • Limitations of some systems. Regarding the race until only two players in the future will do more.

Problems in the gameplay

The game is heavily lagging or slow, what to do? 

Perhaps you have a bad or poor Internet connection. Either the server is overloaded with players.


After entering the profile I see the error "Connection Lost"! 

Wait. Someone half a minute, someone and more. The game that you have downloaded.


After tuning I went into free ride, then I go to the garage, where half the parts missing!

Again, exit out of the garage and go. Temporary bug.


Instead of racing, I threw in a spare drive with the message "PEER_TIMEOUT"! 

Start the race again.


After the start of the race I don't see the opponent, and the car slowed down!

 After some time, it will pass, let it go!


After the start of the race we threw in a spare drive with the message "Connection Lost, Race Aborted"!

 Start the race again.


I can't go into a race lobby! Perhaps in this race too many players or the server is overloaded. 

Try to go to another race.


Bonuses work with any delay! 

It depends on the speed of Your Internet connection and server load.


We went into the lobby and opponent, no! 

You can wait in some races, the opponent appears after a while. But if your friend never showed up in the lobby, write about it in the group (putting the name of the race)


Why are cars so small?! 

When you create a new driver profile You need to go through a training race, and only then, through the garage, go to the car dealer.

@reserve04, Contribution to open source project, I like you and upvote.

thank you :)

Your contribution cannot be approved because it does not follow the Utopian Rules.

Trivial on-screen installation processes are not acceptable as valid tutorials.

You also have the wrong repository and I'm pretty sure the game is proprietary and not open-source.
