When I played this game when I was little, the way the game would tell you how populated a server was was with a bar labeled 'Traffic'. I didn’t understand this, so I always entered servers with the lowest traffic, and then was surprised to find it almost completely barren.

[@bingletoid]

I absolutely adored this game as a child, wish I could still play it. The devs had the ability to log in as the NPC cars, throwing little events or just hanging around and interacting with people. Content updates were usually tied into community-wide events. At one point they were encouraging us to just repeatedly ram into rocks to unlock the next portion of the map, and so we all did exactly that for like a week straight. The Wheel Well not getting to open upsets me to this day. Thank you for covering this game, hopefully with more attention it could get a revival project similar to CWAEmu.

[@KLEJGaming]

That's actually really cool, I hope it does get the attention needed to get brought back

[@sandy_shark]

I still remember the zombie cars that wanted to eat your brakes

[@Kreha]

u can play it now over at sunrise games

[@FredbearAnimate]

You are in luck!! Sunrise games just recently restored the game

[@dubpl8s.666]

no fucking way someone made a video about this. i spent hours playing this as a kid and remember it soo fondly. glad to see someone made a video abt it bc its such an obscure mmo so thank you for this video its an insane hit of nostalgia

[@KLEJGaming]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@totally_not_lorenzo]

I remember playing this as a kid, despite almost everything being thrown behind a membership. I researched probably a year ago now about a re-written version but last i checked, there was drama regarding who had access to the source code.

[@KLEJGaming]

Oh no that's such a shame, I hope that gets sorted

[@FuzzFaux]

I played a little bit of this as a kid! I mostly grew up playing Club Penguin, but i got the membership card bundled with my Cars 2 DS game. My memories are very vague of it as i was like 9 years old but I remember having some fun on it and played it for the whole first month of “sponsorship” I really thought it was fun and had potential but Club Penguin was where i spent most of my time as a child

[@KLEJGaming]

Oooo that's a very cool memory to have!!!

[@Daniel_95]

I loved this game, I was just too young to fully grasp the point of it though. It came out when I was around 6 years old, and I was just so happy to have a cars game on my parent’s computer. I didn’t know what a MMO is so I just did whatever I found fun. I’m not sure if I even understood that I was playing with other people 😭. Let’s start from the beginning of the game. I picked the coolest name I could put together (it was probably like speedy thunder or something like that) and I darted to the #95…. as you mentioned in the video that one wasn’t available and I almost died. I settled with #94 and started playing. I remember driving through the hub up and down a lot, doing the free races and just staring at the car customizer wishing my dad would buy the subscription. He never did so I was left to do the race in the field over and over and over again. To an adults brain that doesn’t sound like fun but to a Lightning McQueen obsessed 6 year old it was the coolest thing ever. One day I told my dad I wanted to play this game again and he said it shut down. I felt like a part of me was gone, it was a sad day. I always love seeing videos of it pop up every now and then. I do know of a group that was trying to remake it from the leaked source codes but i think they quit awhile back. If anyone does complete that project I’ll definitely be the first one to log in and relive some good memories.

[@KLEJGaming]

It's so cool that you have such good memories playing it though!!! I hope it does get brought back by someone

[@kydro3494]

I was obsessed with this game as a kid, was so sad when it shut down lol

[@TheMemerMan4205]

I loved this game when it was around and played it till it shut down ill always remember my boy Bumpy Diamondway he was the goat and won two Piston cups. I recently was digging through my room ajd computwr stand and found some old printouts of him

[@clesportsreport]

Can’t believe a video was made about this. I remember a Car named “Ace RecordBreaker” that was like the champion of the entire server and game and trying to take whoever it was down. I think I was getting close until the game shut down. Such a fun game as a kid. Crazy to see I was one of only 60k players to ever play it. Wild stuff.

[@inshaneindamembrane8043]

I played this when I was little but I don't remember too much, the gameplay was pretty generic since a lot of it was just clicking around to go to a place. One thing I do remember getting a little invested in was this arcade game found inside one of the game's mechanic-stops where you could play this arcade space shooter based off of the one scene from Cars 1 where Lightening had a dream sequence about shooting spark plug robots. for lack of a better reference, the best I can compare it to is the Nova segment from Kirby Super Star.

[@KLEJGaming]

Oh damn that's actually really cool wtf

[@prempotale2197]

I have played this game on a keypad mobile it just a wonderfull experience that time, this gives me sweet memory of my childhood🥺🥺🥺

[@KLEJGaming]

❤️❤️❤️

[@legoking833]

I played this game a lot during it's run, and I had loved every singe second of it. I really wish that it'd come back, as now just having that trailer bit suddenly pop up in the video, I had a nostalgia trip of having been hooked on that game, right when I first saw that trailer.

[@o.l.ashman9696]

That Luigi meme at the end was gold 😂👌 What makes it better is that the scream sound effect came from another character of the same name

[@KLEJGaming]

It did make me laugh 🫡😂

[@rexarn781]

Man, i remember playing this a little while and i was so confused to the site just being fully dead

[@KLEJGaming]

That actually breaks my heart

[@Gamerbropart2]

I remember playing this game when I was younger I was on it for hours. I’m a huge fan of this series and still am to this day. When this game got shutdown I was crying and I was devastated because I didn’t have a chance to replay it anymore and I had friends on there who was in school with me and they told me about the shutdown announcement. Rest in peace World of Cars Online

[@Dready2004]

There's now going to be a restoration of the game by Sunrise Games, it has some progress in it, although it has no ETA currently, but they said they hope they will release it before the end of summer.

[@KLEJGaming]

Oh damn - do you have a link to their site or Reddit or anything :)

[@Heavenlygamer19YT]

Yeh I want to check it out too! It's my childhood!!!

[@Redcollection]

I also remember playing this game lol. It sucks so bad how there arent any good modern Cars games... Imagine a Cars open world story game taking place after Cars 3, in unreal engine 5... I swear if i ever get filthy rich i will create a game company and throw money at it for development and licensing to create a modern Cars game.

[@TopatSnake]

A remake of World Of Cars online is in development

[@Invictyn]

Well like any kid I played Club Penguin, Moshi Monsters, Bin Weevils etc. My favourite movie was cars and I remember typing in something along the lines of “Disney Cars Online Multiplayer game.” because I really wanted to see if a MMO of my favourite movie existed and World of Cars came up. I did really enjoy it when it was out. Shame it shut down though never really knew when it shut down but I knew it couldn’t of been too long after I stopped playing it and I’ve never really thought too much about the game since I stopped playing until I saw this video. I do hope they make a rewritten version of this one day.

[@KLEJGaming]

It's nice that you have that memory of it though!

[@ramones_garage]

4:20 , in the game files there are voice lines for Mack

[@MrHumbuck]

I played a bunch of in-browser children's 'mmo's as a kid, it's interesting to find out that Cars had one. I loved the movie, but I never knew about the games for it

[@KLEJGaming]

So did I! I always love discovering new ones it's a very interesting part of gaming history

[@speedhunter7156]

God this takes me back didn't play it alot but I did

[@jakezubrod7906]

I remember playing this game when I was young. lol It was pretty strange NGL.

[@KLEJGaming]

It looks like a very bizarre experience 😂

[@skodchik]

the dude on KZbin with the nickname romasai did a video about her:)

[@thebluefoxvn]

If you wanna learn more about the unreleased content this game was suppose to have prior to it getting shut down, may I suggest giving "The Cutting Room Floor" a try? :D

[@KLEJGaming]

Yes thank you I will!! 😎

[@Motich_]

not sure but i think there is a discord server and on it some people are trying to reopen this game but i dont remember what it was called and i dont even know if they are still continueing to do it or finished it(sorry for bad english)

[@KLEJGaming]

Oooo okay thank you!!!

[@bonniethelegend315]

they can actually bring it back as long as they don't profit off the game

[@Xaro_55205]

so theres going to be reborn thing with this game

[@blahgaming62]

I think u should review cars fast as lightning and pls change the tumbnail i thought u were gonna cover fast as lighting

[@KLEJGaming]

I will look into that, I actually didn't notice the image was wrong oops Changing it momentarily

[@blahgaming62]

Yay

[@Kahne-yy3vq]

I think I played it once, I wasn’t good so I stopped playing lol

[@pinkyRosy]

I vaguely remember playing it around 2010-2011 while visiting my relatives but it didn't seem that interesting compared to the games I played on their xbox 360 like forza motorsport 2 and after motorsport 4 when that came out. I was thinking about revisiting "cars online" when i got my first computer at around 2013-2014 but i wasn't able to find it anywhere, now i know why (10 years later)🥲

[@KLEJGaming]

I'm glad I could at least provide you with some closure 😭🥲

[@KLEJGaming]

😂😂😂😂

[@GamerOC]

God I miss this game. I remember a lot of people would mostly hang out in Filmore’s Fields because tractor tipping was really the only thing in free roam you could do, also every time Frank caught you you’d get flung across the map a little bit, which was entertaining. That or people would just socialize in their houses. Also toward the end they added lasers to promote the second movie and everyone was firing them at each other. I recall that there was also a bullet hell game based on the scene in cars 1 with the flying dinoco McQueen. I got fairly far into it a few times, can’t remember if I ever beat it or not. Also I can’t help but feel that part of the reason this game failed is because they just didn’t market it well at all. Like there’s one ad for it I know of and it was the blu ray release of Cars 2.

[@codemisterz]

I remember the world of cars online. I used to RP in this. Like go camping in the tents, customize my home, and etc. Sadly, nobody's remade this.

[@eggleg1411]

club penguin but cars

[@KLEJGaming]

Pretty much

[@SirLordMonke]

cars 2 appmates was the best, the memories I have from that game.

[@KLEJGaming]

I'll have to look into that!!

[@Gamerbropart2]

I remember that game good times

[@alex99x99x]

I still have the Lightning mqueen toy. The game was so fun.

[@ALLBrandito]

I actually played this when I was in 2nd grade. Never got a membership but I still remember my character’s name “Dreamy CarRoute” and I even remember when they had an event where Lightning McQueen and Sally were in the server and when I bumped my car into Lightning he replied “Woah there Dreamy CarRoute” lol. Idk how I still remember that.

[@KLEJGaming]

Okay that's pretty cool I've gotta say

[@shwayne9864]

Man I was so sad when this game was on it's last days. From what I remembered they just gave everything for free, so you could like customize your car with anything. I really hope someone get this game back

[@FredbearAnimate]

Sunrise games just recently remade the game, its not really complete but its a great comeback

[@That-0ne-Guy]

I remember beggin for a sponsorship and i never remember seeing the free months in my game boxes haha

[@Binglitpawn]

Are you covering cars on PC?

[@jordancambridge4106]

Several things you said were wrong. First Club Penguin fully shut down in 2012. Also Disney always owned Club Penguin. The sad reality is Club Penguin shut down because they had not had a single person log in sense 2010. Club Penguin fully shut down in 2012 do to blatantly 0 people logging in. Then Disney declared they were shutting it down and then Disney reconsidered a bit because it had 3 major surges of players coming in but then left. The screwed up fact is that Club Penguin shut down because sure 3 surges of millions of players hit for a couple weeks at a time then no one played for months and when I say no one that is not even a slight joke. Not a single log in happened in the game for months in 2012 and Disney then said screw it its shutting down all log ins will be forced off and the servers are being shut off. Then 3 days after it shut down 74 million people complained that they wanted to play it and Disney responded with if you wanted to play then you should have played the game is dead and we are not dealing with this crap. Disney tried brining the game back in 2016 and it got a few players but after the initial launch week the game had about 20 non consistent players every couple of weeks and shut the game down less than 4 months after bringing it back and said the game is dead we are not dealing with it again its done.

[@KLEJGaming]

Thank you!! Club Penguin launched in 2005 but actually wasn't bought by Disney to 2007 - it then didn't actually shut down until 2017 ! The decline started around 2015 but the game limped along until March 2017 when it finally shut down :)

[@NamikhaOfficial]

1:44 kermit?

[@puffpinki]

wish this game existed now so i could spend my adult money on it and heal my inner child

[@omo7002]

When I was a kid I logged on to this for the first time, played for 5 minutes, had my mom buy the membership, then logged of and never played again. I wonder if she had it on auto renewal, because if so I was supporting this devs for quite a while without ever playing, lmao.

[@RosichRay]

A small developer has made/in process of a re-written version, please reply if you want more information and want to check it out for video. It’s in beta so there’s not a lot to do but there’s racing and the basic gameplay

[@jaredpower1019]

That game was so peak until something I didn’t realize as a kid I was wonder how do I buy some parts and paint until I realize now that I earn coins if I done quest and racing Jesus I regret it and I swear when I play the cars 2 video game on wii they have me a code for a free membership and at the time never know how to use it until now a days

[@bonniethelegend315]

welp good news, fans brought the game back

[@danielchirila5001]

Hi, the very first (I think) recreation of this game has just had its very first server test last night, it’s being recreated by sunrise games, their discords shows everything they’ve been doing, right this moment the serves are down but should be up right away, can’t wait to finally play this game with more mature mind after over 12 years

[@KLEJGaming]

THATS SUCH GOOD NEWS

[@SkrillDude]

I played this more than a decade ago, I think it was a little after Cars 2 had come out. I don't remember specifically any minigames, I was there to explore the map or follow other players. I'm actually surprised it wasn't popular, I expected it to have lots of players since it is a big series.

[@KLEJGaming]

Yeah I'm surprised it didn't do better, I suppose there was a lot of preexisting competition

[@Callmedrain]

I remember playing this on my mom old laptop good times.

[@sandy_shark]

I remember playing this every day after school while waiting for mom to finish up work. Was so devastated to see it go.

[@KLEJGaming]

That's awesome though!!

[@makinyoumad9498]

Only after 7 minutes into the video I realised that it had only 3,3k views, this is super low for such effort 😭😭

[@KLEJGaming]

Thank you 😂

[@anne.andromeda]

I'm really sad I never got to play it. Becouse as a kid I would have loved it so much

[@KLEJGaming]

LITERALLY SAME

[@dogjr2fast4u75]

I did play this game back then as I was a massive fan of Cars, still am, and I remember the sad news that it was shutting down. Ever since Club Penguin ended up living on through private servers, along with other free games that have shut down and are living on in the same way, I've been hoping someone would bring this game back.

[@FredbearAnimate]
