The World of Cars Online: Difference between revisions

According to the trailer, the game was originally going to open in Summer 2009, but due to some contrasts, it was postponed to 2010. From March to May 2010, the [[Beta Test Party]] (or Open Beta) took place to fix the latest bugs and prepare the official launch of the game. When the Open Beta ended and the game finally opened on June 29, each car was awarded 2,010 coins, a founders plaque, and an Open Beta plaque (For users that joined during the Open Beta event).

==Gameplay==

Players can create an account, and then create a car - the player can choose their color, name it with a variety of names and surnames given by the game system, and choose a racing number. Once their car has been created, they can go into the counties of [[Downtown Radiator Springs|Radiator Springs]] - the town itself, [[Willy's Butte]], [[Fillmore's Fields]] and [[Redhood Valley]], the entrance to [[Tailfin Pass]] (added later). There the player can roam around while chatting with others, collecting coins, and roaming freely.

In race mode, the player can race with other people currently playing the game, or against the AI (Radiator Springs townsfolk or the [[Delinquent Road Hazards]]). Winning these will earn the player [[car-coins]] and Race Points, which can be collected to move on to bigger races if the player was a sponsored car.

==Tracks==

When you race you get race points and money. A list of them is here-

===Race points===

==Beta elements==

===During the Test Track===

*Races had leaderboard, each one different, depending on the track and difficulty chosen. There was a "Fastest Today" leaderboard, that was refreshing after 1 hour. And on the top appeared the "#1 All Time". Leaderboard only considered the fastest time in the full race.

*You could collect Bonus Points in the main town, and there was a "Fans" section. The reasons for these features are unknown.

*During a race, there was only one type of car. They didn't had eyes and mouth and the racing surface was very basic. The map showed other racers far from the track. This was probably a very early design and gameplay of the game.

*A mini-game called "Red's Firefighting Game!", where you could put out the fire from some buildings was never added.

*There was a different surface, where the map was on the top right corner, looking like [[Cars: The Video Game|consoles games map]], and would also consider CPU (movie characters) location, unlike the final version, where only user players were considered. There were three colors to identify players, red (for users), green (friends), and blue (the player).

*There were cones in the main street. The purpose for this is unknown.

*Red and Radiator Springs were poorly made. Red was missing details, and Radiator Springs had only one generic building replacing all the original buildings from the town (probably just to show the gameplay). Cozy Cone Motel didn't have their fountain, and players could drive on the grass.

*Some never released features for the backyard were seen. You could add Radiator Springs buildings into your backyard, make it bigger, add roads and more.

*The domain was "www.worldofcars.com", in the final version the site's domain was changed to "worldofcars.go.com".

*In summer of 2011, the game was updated for ''[[Cars 2]]''. Some of these updates included a [[World Grand Prix]] party, adding hidden spy-gadget shops around Radiator Springs, updating Lightning's paint job, adding Francesco and removing Doc from the game. Before the update, Doc raced in [[Carburetor County Speedway]] and [[Willy's Butte Rally]], but after the update he was replaced by [[Sally]] and [[Sarge]], respectively.
