Hi WG,
first of all thanks CC for picking me for WG´s spotlight and thanks U, Andreea, Fasck and all the others who were and are responsible for this website and community.
Quote
My name is Johannes (the J in JSFAST), and I´m a 20 year old business student from Germany.
I started playing Need for Speed World about 1 1/2 years ago and joined the WG last June.
According to WG´s color code I´m also "Official EA Staff" and yes, I´m working for EA as a unsalaried moderator on their German forums.
Apart from that I´m also a member of the JDM themed Team Laterfire which was one of NFSW´s first crews and you might have read one of my guides, for example those ranking World´s cars or the newbie guide telling you how to buy further cars, where to tune your cars, etc.
Quote Whats your favorite NFS Title
Need for Speed:World, although it has quite a variety of bugs and lacks content (except cars).
Things I really like are the free roam mode which allows meetings like our JDM Meet, time attack for NFS-S, NFSUnlimited and of course our new WG leaderboards and the possibility to interact with other players from all over the world using the games chat options. Probably the most outstanding feature is World´s optical customization which allows us the design great cars like those in our gallery, as long as we don´t need more then 31 layers...
Quote What are you doing when not playing NFS
As stated above I´m studying business administration at a university which is pretty time consumpting, apart from that I´m doing several sports, including soccer, running, biking and skiing and I love to listen to music, especially to EDM and Indie.
Quote Whats your favorite car within NFS World
It´s not really one car but the hole Nissan GTR family, if I would have to chose one it would be R34.
Quote What would you change if you were a dev on world
I would add the connectors and the canyons as soon as possible and I would visit the forums more often.
Quote How would you rate EAs attempt at bringing an MMO racer back?
I would give it a 6/10, the game itsself is pretty cool, but I´m not happy with EA´s policy regarding those "micro" payments which turned out to be rather huge in NFSW.
Don´t hesitate to follow me on Twitter or to add me as a friend on Facebook and in NFSW.

I've kind of let the spotlights slip due to time but none the less it's time for another spotlight and it's the one and only host of the host of Crew battles and I think a pretty good gfx guy named SPE3DSTER
There isn't much to talk about me. You can always check my topic in "introductions"  ..Naah..Just jk  My name is Alex aka. SPE3DSTER in NFSW. I'm 26 years old and I'm from Iasi, Romania. At the moment I'm a student on chemical engineering.
As about cars and car racing i can say that i love all about it, but a particular passion is rally racing. In the gaming area..oh well... I've tried all types of games, from Mario to World of Warcraft, but still, my true love are the racing ones.
Whats your favorite NFS Title
I've played played all NFS games except Undercover, 2010 Hot Pursuit and The Run. I think i like them all, each one of them was a "piece of art" at their time. But if i'm to pinpoint one i guess it will be the Underground. That game was different from any other game at that moment. The whole underground racing scene in front of your eyes and 2 new modes in racing games: Drift and Drag. Was just awesome!!! 
What are you doing when not playing NFS
When i'm not playing NFS i usually browse NFS and WG forums , play with Photoshop, studying for university and more recently organizing the Sprint Series.
Whats your favorite car within NFS World
No doubt here..Impreza Hatchback..the only car for which i've bought SB. Otherwise i'm a free player
What would you change if you were a dev on world
There are some things to change around. I'll start with car balancing. Then i guess i'll add more modes and new content/areas. And I guess i'll try harder to get some Hondas here. Street racing isnt complete without them.
What dream car in real life would you love to drive on the autobahn
Dont know if i Autobahn is the right place for me Maybe more like driving the dream car on a rally stage on Monte Carlo  . But i guess it's only one beast: the Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2  
What is your most memorable moment in any nfs game?
Thats easy. When i was skipping classes (ages ago ) to go to my local internet cafe and race in a local NFS Hot Pursuit 2 LAN event. Where i finished first
Favorite NFS song?
"Jerk - Sucked In" from the Underground sountrack. I remember event now how my heart was beating when i used NOS there for my first time with this song playing
How would you rate EAs attempt at bringing an MMO racer back?
What attempts? EA is lucky that it has the best MMO racing game from a even worse mmo racing games list. But considering that they at least add now and then new cars and stuffs i'll give them 5 out of 10.

Since the latest addition of the rotating banner I have been getting slammed with messages about how to get there car into the header.
so discussed with the staff and this will be the first of many events to give you guys the opportunity to enter your car into the header.
this round will focus on the "exotic" series of cars in World
- set your graphics to the highest possible settings
- set darkness to about 60%
- from free roam hit "ALT & Z" to remove the hub
- hit H to go to safe house
- select a angle and hit PrintScreen
- upload your screenshot here http://world-garage....er-submissions/
you have 1 week to enter your ride to be considered depending on the entries we may select more than 1
good luck

as everyone is hopefully aware now but if your not we have 2 new features to WG.
The first is not really new as we had it previously but ran into some issues with it several months back and was disabled but something I wanted as well as others when I took over administration of World Garage is the Leaderboards.
You can find it in the navigation or on the top right box on the main page.
We still have a little work to do on it but it's completely functional
You can find it here http://world-garage....es/leaderboards
as well as a discussion boards which may be permanent or not but for the time being can be found here http://world-garage....g-leaderboards/
The second feature is simply cosmetic but I think is a great way to show appreciation to the members here who take the time to make their rides look awesome and share with us is a rotating site banner. We'll come up with some fun ways to encourage the community to submit their rides for this but basically it takes a image and on page load will grab that random image and show it in the header of the site.
