World of Tanks Worldwide Release 1st Anniversary

To celebrate World of Tanks Worldwide Release 1st Anniversary on August 12 each player will receive a promo code for 1 day of free premium account.

Promo code can be activated from August 12 till August 19.

That's the first present, not the last one.

  3. Q: Hey Overlord, sorry that it is ot, but i have a question regarding the 6.6 Patch. Will there an announcement about the date before the patch? Or will it happen without announcement? Cause i have a medium tank crew in my vk3601 which i want to give back to my pzIV, before the vehicle gets a heavy tank.

  6. ALREADY U R NAGGING! Guys please stop it. Don't you feel any shame? U r like a bunch of internet beggars.

    "Here u poor beggar, have a Dollar."
    - "Bah, I want more than a dollar, give me more, more, more."

    By the way. It would not hurt to read the messages completely:
    "That's the first present, not the last one."

  9. 1 day free prem is good thanks, I wonder what other goodies you have for us :)

  10. The best present we could receive would be to convert all our XP on elite tanks to free XP for us for free. For those of us who've been playing since Beta and spent a huge amount of time working at this game it would be one hell of a nice surprise for us.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Thank you for this present =)
    What happens if you have more than 30 days of premium left on the 19th? Is the code forfeit then?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Overlord...

    I would really appreciate
    - Discounted Gold!
    - Free/Discounted Elite XP Conversion!
    - Discounted Modules!

    Further I enjoyed the following:
    - Discounted Crew Training
    - Discounted Premium

    I am really looking forward to WoT's birthday.

  13. Yes, best idea would be to give us a discount on free xp conversion. This promotion hasn't been tried (I think).

    You are able to stack up to 60 days Premium (correct me if I am wrong). Also it was stated that this one day Premium-Promo-Code could be used within a time range (August 12 to August 19).

    So there is no problem. If you have 60 days left, activate the Promo-code tomorrow. Not a big deal though...;)

  15. Overlord: Any news on possible rewards for players who recently participated in the test? My buddy emailed you guys and got a response saying you were considering it.

    Also: Is the date for the Russian tree remake patch set in stone yet, or do you even have an ETA? Trying to grind up an IS-4 since I just heard about this upcoming change today.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Sound sweet Overlord. I wish that you will say half price for equipment and tank, cost of credit for repair are halve and double credit earn after battle (^_^). And it's wonderful if we has 1 extra garage slot

    Overlord,

    when do you think, this classification change would happen? My crew is waiting in their barracks to get a no-loss retraining from medium to heavy...;)
    Will this crew retraining happen loss-free, when the classification-change come?

    That would be a HUGE disappointment fot those, who spent a lot of gold converting them (including me), so im disagree with you.
    In that case, they should give back all the gold that was used for converting to the players.

    So it dont have any reality. ((i hope))

    A: Guys, participation in public test is free and obligatory. You are given an opportunity to try new stuff prior to its release.

  23. @Overlord

    Are you sure you mean "obligatory"? :)

    Also, can't wait to see the rest of the presence. 1 day free premium is kinda "meh" for me :P

  24. Q: Wel change the T30/T34 in the 6.7 patch ?

    No matter, what they will give the players, there are always people demanding more or not having an advantage. Most of the people would participate from that kind of promotion. Some more, others less. Where is the problem?

    I have also just around 50k convertable Elite XP I saved for Porsche Tiger and the successor for Leopard. So what? I would take the opportunity to convert it. That would save me 1.250 Gold. I also have some Elite vehicles in Garage so it makes sense again to play them with deactivated "accelerate crew training".

  27. @Overlord: I think you meant optional. No worries, was just wondering seeing as the response he got implied there might be something. Anyways, thanks for the 1 day premium, will be interested to see what other gifts we receive over the next few days. I apologize if I came off as being ungrateful!

    Any word on my other question regarding the ETA for the Soviet Tree rework?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Can you please answer to Fireblade77, regarding the timeline of the VK med->hvy change?

    My VK crew is waiting for that change too, and I have my Tiger in my garage, without crew, waiting for that too;-)

  29. stop teasing us overlord

    ReplyDelete
  30. heres a question. what form of 1 day premium??

    as in a one day added to my current days.
    OR
    1 day premium in gold formation.

    ReplyDelete
  31. And of course, thank all of you for this +1 day!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Hum... i like one Premium Day.. i also have >30 left, but imho its a nice gift. But many of them are right. For Those who already spent a lot lot of Money to Wargaming are Cheaper Gold, Cheaper Modules and Cheaper XP Exchange more attractive. Something like a Code for one day Free XP Converting would be amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  33. For me the best present would be to set the exp and credits gain like it is on the test server for 4 hours on the evening where every1 has time to play because 4 hours of that gain would be the best gift in my eyes ;)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Dear Overlord,
    thank you. Could you consider prolonging activation code for the gift for 3weeks - 1 month? Reason - August is heavy holiday month in most European countries and it would be sad to loose gifts just because you usually have vacations in August and are away from PC.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Well thank you :3 Maybe cake and party-garage in game? You know... balloons, confetti, and bullet-shape candles?

    And Q: can we have more pictures/specs of IS-6 and possibly preliminary gun selection for Obyekt 730? Pretty please :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Since german E series will be crap (patch is already deployed on russian server, we will get same, wg waiting for translation) there is no reason to research that tanks so no reason to buy gold for premium.

    imo, they shouldnt do such things like free convert, what other players paid before. is simply not fair. imagine yourself in those players seats, who just converted like 150k xp for a decent amount of money, and the next day wg promotes its free converting plans.
    when u started to collect free xp, u already knew, that if u want to convert them, u must pay for it. it was your decision to collect or not.

    discount prices what costs CREDIT, is ok. but making the "gold" things cheaper (like premium tanks/convert/or even premium) is NOT ok. wg shouldnt do such things, if they do, they will loose their paying customers.

    I also converted 120k xp for gold 3 weeks ago. So what?
    I just stated that some will benefit more, others less. And you also stated that if you collect Elite XP you decided to pay for the conversion. I agree with you on that.

    But where is your loss, when you get the opportunity to convert your remaining/newly collected XP out of band? There is no loss for you, it is a benefit, you know? And if it is announced tomorrow for example that this will happen in 2 or 3 days, you get the opportunity to collect Elite XP to convert freely!

    It is your mindset that prevents you from being glad about that, like "oh, others benefit more than me, so it is unfair".

    But finally one point I absolutely agree with you... If non-paying players were smart enough to play elite vehicles too and collected much elite xp, they will benefit the most. And that may feel unfair for paying users like you and me. So there I see a problem like you.

    We will see what is coming...;)

  41. I still think a "Respec" option would be the best gift fo all...

    It would generate lots of revenue and give people a chance to correct mistakes they have made...

    ReplyDelete
  42. I am ready to buy E-50, E-75 and GW Tiger. I will wait till 12th to see if we get some promo.

    ReplyDelete
  43. can we get a free change of tank crew names/portraits for that one day (or change it so it will cost credits, at least for that one day)?

  44. I love every gift we get, thanx in advanced

    Why don't you just wait until WoT'S anniversary is over before you convert your XP? If you can't stand to wait it's your fault, not WG.Net's...:)

  59. make a 5x exp and credits for 3 hours and all players will be happy. that kind of event should be once in a while :) it wouldn'd make big difference in the statistics and players would really enjoy it :) what do you think?

  60. just give me all your gold and tanks and i'll wish you a warm happy bday!

    I'll also bake you a cake! How about it? :D

    ReplyDelete
  61. I normally don't agree with their silly gifts and presents, but this time i think they have got it right.

    1. it's free for everyone and no gold is required for any conversion of xp like the 5x xp marketing gift.

    2. it gives players that have never used premium an opportunity to see the difference.

    finally thanks WOT team.

    ReplyDelete
  62. One day free prem account sounds good to me. I'm on my 3rd 30 day premium account, would I appreciate one little measly day of FREE premium account. You bet. A discount on converting EXP to free EXP would be great. I've already converted about 50k to free exp and have about 125k more I can convert. Would it bother me to suddenly get a discount, would I want my money back on the original 50k. Do I go to Walmart and demand my money back because they "rolled back" the price the next day on the 1800 square foot TV I just purchased. Discount modules would be great. Would it irritate me if I spent 75k on a new gun to find the next day it is now half price, probably. But I sure would appreciate it on the next purchase. People overlord said FREE how can you complain about FREE. You don't have to work for it you just have to be there. Thank you WoT looking forward to more announcements. NERF the T54

  63. 5x or 10x really dumb all that means is more morons in pubs with bigger tanks it takes away the skill of tankers and it makes the end tier tanks less elite cause everyone would have them we worked for our tanks they werent give everyone should dobthe same dont take away the pride and skill and eliteness of haveing end tier tanks

    Also for all you beggers really? They dont have to give us anything be happy with free sruff the reason the game is still free is because those of us who do buy gold for what we need. Quit begging for more. Thank W.O.T. For a great game I love pkaying it please dont ruin it by giving away too much stuff like I said it takes away from those of us who work for what we got and know how to use our gold and accounts to its fullest.

  64. what about companies with 120 or 150 pts?

    ReplyDelete
  65. Thank you Overlord for any and all bonus gifts you throw at this ungrateful community. I have no idea why so many players feel as if the devs owe them something. The game is FREE, yet you want more. No one tells/told you to invest in it, you did at your own risk and of your own volition. The developers of this game owe you nothing, get over yourselves. This sense of entitlement that so many are displaying these days is becoming alarming. Take what you are given and be thankful you get anything at all.

    I for one am thankful and i have almost 2 months premium. thanks guys, look forward to the other surprises ;)

    ReplyDelete
  69. I feel ashamed by all these ungrateful demands.
    Is it really so hard to say: THANK YOU WG.NET and Happy Birthday?

    They give us presents every month in form of different competitions, and in the most cases all you have to do is to play the game and with a little luck you can win 3000 gold.

    We received special events, with discounts on "gold items" and double xp and credits, so even those who play for free can benefit from these events.

    So what the f++k is wrong with you guys?

    Since I play that game, there was no month without at least one present in form of a special event or a competition.
    Thank you WG.net!

    "Pride and skill and eliteness"
    Nothing personal but I suggest you reflect your virtual life and get a real one. Playing computer games should have nothing to do with one of these three above. It easily stimulates your reward center, nothing more. Be careful not to mix that up with real achievement. There are more important things in life!
