On June 14, Drift City USA announced via its Facebook page that the servers will close. GameCampus and Co. have neither denied nor verified this information. ==Plot== The game takes place in the near future during a worldwide oil shortage. A green crystal dubbed ''Mittron'' is discovered on an island in the North Pacific. The island is named after the material, and the Organization for Mittron Development (OMD) is set up to manage the island and its resources. This resource quickly becomes the preferred fuel for all methods of transportation as Mittron-powered cars ran much longer, cleaner, and faster than traditional gas-powered cars. Unmanned vehicles, dubbed HUVs (High-Tech Unmanned Vehicles), begin to appear around the island, terrorizing the people. This threat has become so widespread that pedestrians no longer walk the streets for fear of being attacked. As a result, the OMD has started importing professional drivers to assist in destroying the HUVs and uncover the mystery behind their sudden appearance. Players start out with a basic V1 car of their choice and begin driving for the OMD government, completing missions for the people at OMD outposts. Once players reach a certain point in the game, they may chose to be part of one of two factions, ROO, which seeks to take down the OMD government, or choose to stay with OMD. It is later revealed that HUVs are actually created by OMD to prevent other larger countries from taking control of Mittron Island. At the end, players are awarded a card from OMD President Jacob that deems them to have become a Number 9 racer, typically with a background watermark referencing Fogel's Bakery, the bakery that the player can perform delivery missions for when working for OMD. GamesCampus recently released another part of Drift City, called Neo City. This storyline takes place in what was once Oros, now an industrial wasteland, 30 years into the future. Following the assassination of OMD President Jacob, OMD's Vice President Jason stepped in as president. OMD and ROO joined forces and created the new NEO government. Nations in the World United organization, an alternate version of the United Nations, saw Jason as a threat to their interests, and ordered him to step down. Following Jason's refusal to do so, the nations invaded Mittron island. A war was fought, with the NEO government equipping HUVs with weapons like miniguns and rocket launchers to take out UN forces. However, the NEO government lost the war. Mittron Island was occupied for 20 years, and after the majority of the mittron was depleted, the nations stopped their occupation. The citizens of what was once Mittron Island began to try to rebuild, however, the HUVs that had once served the NEO government began to run haywire, eventually developing their own artificial intelligence. They began to travel in packs around the streets, attacking anything they saw. Players are transported 30 years into the future by a mysterious girl named Aria, directly into the crisis. There, they meet many of the former OMD or ROO drivers, now much older, and begin missions for the NEO government, which had survived, along with the majority of the population, staying underground. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Drift City」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
