Called Need for Speed World, the title has only just reached beta but already boasts over 150 miles of open road. Joystiq says the game follows the arcade-inspired mechanics of previous NFS entries, and should be widely accessible with hardware requirements including a 2.0GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 512MB graphics card.
While Need for Speed World is free to play, dedicated racers can use real money to buy in-game goods, such as improved vehicles and skills. This is only speculation based on Joystiq's article, but it sounds like much of that content is open to anyone willing to grind for it. Regardless, you can't go wrong with a free game, even if you don't spend 30 hours a week playing.
EA will supposedly introduce new areas, driving abilities and more to the game every few months, but it sounds like there's already plenty to see. The game will debut this summer but it's officially in open beta, and you can take it for a spin by applying here. Watch a gameplay video after the break.

What a killer app. They will make a load of money on this, and well deserved. This is just a killer idea, I hope it's a big success, and a model for more to follow.
Pretty much makes DRM obsolete, no? :P
Well it pretty much is the same thing though - as you have to be online all the time to be able to play it ? They were just smarter in how they phrased the wording then EA or Ubisoft

I just watched the video, it looks pretty neat and the MMO thing looks interresting, I'm going to try it when I get home.

Yeah how would you race in an MMo? without an instance type system. Some other driver could come slam into you guys while racing?! lol!!
-
this might be interesting... im gonna be looking forward to this... the only thing i dont like is the money spending crap for better item... those always ruin the game since their at least 1 person that will spend 500$ on item and own you...

Looks pretty fail! i was getting pretty excited about this mmo but i think ill spend my dreaming to TDU2! **** need for speed. They have been going down since after Need for speed Hot pursuit 2. That was the last of the good need for speeds. All the other predacessors suck so much. The games now are for 5 year olds that dont know **** about cars that like stickers and auto catchup.
