Start of World of Tanks Open beta

The launch of WOT open beta is scheduled for January 27. Early next week we are planning to finalize a new build for Chinese version and fully focus on international open beta.

WOT is doing away with invite system. One won't need invite keys to join the game anymore. Apart from massive PR campaign switch from closed beta to open beta is going to be unnoticeable for the majority.

And there will be NO softwipe. )
