    Drift City... Racing MMO!

    I've been playing it for a while and have found it quite fun! I recently quit World of Warcraft in an attempt to get back to my studies but then I realized I got bored when I wasn't doing work for College. So I went to ijji (I've known about it for a while) and found drift city. Heres a bit of an overview of it:

    It has quests to level up. Newer faster cars require increasing amounts of in game money (Or you can use RL money to upgrade the version of your car. However its not required.) and higher levels as well as achievements (Which grant coupons) (Like forming a long combo of driving in the wrong lane, drifting around corners, doing delivery missions, winning races, etc etc).

    Racing against others is actually pretty kick as. Although sometimes its required to grind off some xp to get to your next set of missions the races get pretty awesome (Just finished an 8 vs 8 team race god damn it raped my bandwidth)

    So you if you want anymore information or screenshots I'd be more than willing.
    (I only covered a portion of the overall game)

    If you get on tell me in here. I'm usually in gate 1.

    Re: Drift City... Racing MMO!

    I've been playing this game casually for a couple weeks now and I gotta say it's pretty damn fun. There's a decent amount of stuff to do, the PvP races are pretty awesome and it's really nice to take a break from playing regular RPGs. The music is kinda lacking in variety, but it's not too much of a big deal since you can import your own MP3s. On one hand do wish there was a bit less EXP grinding, but on the other thankfully levels aren't as huge a deal as they are in your average RPG (when I was level 8 I got first place in a 4-man race against a level 13, a level 20 and a level 23 ), so I don't mind it too much.

    Right now I'm kinda getting the same feeling off this game as I get from Beatmania - I never really play it for long periods of time (hardly ever play more than 2-3 hours straight), but every time I pick it up it's fun. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something to kill some time with.

    I was bored today and did all three rush times. It was so funny seeing my frames drop from like 60 to around 30 because of the 80+ people there for it. Got some cheep ass items though nothing good.
