The World of Cars Online had a total of 33 available servers to join the game. However, ''Alignment'' was the most visited server, mainly because it was the first option and the number of players rarely caused the server to be full, while the rest of the servers were usually empty as the game didn't get enough players during it's run.

Sponsorship was the paid subscription in-game, which costed USD $5.95 a month. They could have gotten access to tons of extra things - unlimited customization in [[Radiator Springs]] buildings and your yard, starting your Racing career in [[Piston Cup Racing Series|Piston Cup]] races (named Pro tracks) and joining different sponsors. Due to the game closure, from January 5, 2012 to February 8, 2012, every player got free sponsorship. The very low number of paid members between June 2010 and December 2011 was one of the reasons the game closed.
