Achievements is a feature within Need for Speed: World. They were initially unveiled via the official Need for Speed: World website on April 3rd, 2013 with a greater amount of information being released on a daily basis.[1] The feature was released through the application of an update on April 10th, 2013.
An achievement is awarded to the player upon them completing a specific milestone for a given achievement track. Each achievement track has up to five ranks with each higher rank having a greater milestone than the previous rank.
Achievements[]
There is a total of 70 achievements available in Need for Speed: World and they replaced the driver statistics page.[2]
Statistics concerning a player's amount of collected cars, driver progression, Treasure Hunt streak and Beta status migrated towards their corresponding achievements following the release of the update. Statistics concerning customised cars, win/lose ratio, victory streaks, and total Cash earned did not migrate.
