The Motor City Online Website has news that this massively multiplayer car collecting and racing game is gearing down their service, and will cease operations as of August 29. There is a Team Comment on this topic that explains how the game's wrap-up will unfold, how billing will operate, and the reasons for this move, saying basically the game was "losing steam" (missing the obvious gas analogy). Electronic Arts is offering subscribers a free copy of either The Sims Online or Ultima Online, provided they accept the offer prior to the end of MCO billing.
