Im curious about how you can roam about the streets ingame. Will you be able to free roam any time during the game, or only when youre test driving a car? If you can do this, I have an idea to post in the Event Suggestions area. So if anyone knows details on this, lemme know. Thanks

On online mode, you can free roam with everybody else in the server, there's a limit, however, of how many people you can see, I think it was 8 or more players. There's a filter, so you can set it so you only see people on your friends list, or people around your car's level, etc.

The cruise I have planned is going to be on free roam mode so we can test out our viewing filters, and our cars before we do some racing or more cruising.

So feel free to post a suggestion! I'm all ears Shocked

So you can set it to where you can see any person on the map, but only within a certain range of your vehicle? I was also wondering if you could get out of your car and walk around at some parts of the game. My idea was, once we get farther into the game and get the cars we want, that we could have a car show where we all meet up in a parking lot and walk around check out eachothers rides. But if you cant get out of your car then I guess it wont work out too well.

No, you can't walk around like GTA3 or Vice City. I think there's clubs and locations were you can interact, kind like a lobby to set-up races and stuff.

That's perfect for our club!

I know for one thing you can buy a house, make your own character, buy clothing, and other various avatar costumization. Not sure, but it's possible you could enter your house and make calls to set up a race too.

Looks like walking around freely is the only missing thing!

Even though theres no damage and everything, something i've always wanted, i'm sure we can still organize some kinda freakin' destruction derby or somethin'. Crash crash crash! Maybe some stunts if there are any ways to do that.
