Motor City Online

Motor City Online was EAs 2001 attempt to take the Need for Speed brand into MMO territory, focused entirely on classic American muscle cars from the 50s and 60s. You bought wrecked cars, restored them in the garage, swapped parts, and raced them online against other players in events scattered across a map of Detroit. The car customization was incredibly deep for its time, with real licensed parts and historically accurate options. EA shut it down in August 2003, less than two years after launch. There have been a few private server attempts to bring it back over the years, with varying levels of success, because there really isnt anything else quite like it.

An MMO about collecting and racing classic cars. The auction house for rare parts was genuinely exciting. EA shut it down after only two years. A crime against car enthusiasts.
