That is my biggest concern, will free accounts get any gold at all as a teaser? Like 100 a month?

I like playing my 2 light tanks real quick, do a Banzai and die, then move onto whatever tank I'm progressing, and if that get's knocked out quick, onto my M37 or M2. That way I always have experience in the mill. Then I can convert it all to free exp using gold, which right now they are giving us 250 free a day.

But that all goes moot when it goes live.

I really wish they would give a stipend of like 100 gold a month if you've actively played like 10 hours that month, or the ability to convert silver to gold, like at a 25k to 1 exchange rate. Something ridiculous so it's not profitable.

I think the allure of the game will deaden to many player when it goes live, as all the free gold will disappear.


And I'm not sure what records you're refering to. As I have never seen more than 10,000 players on the NA servers. Those could have been done befoer the recent split of Europe/NA servers though, apparently this is huge in Europe. But I know that can't be for MMO populations, because WoW breaks all those records. To even suggest a niche MMO, although free, has surpassed WoW in any aspect is almost laughable.

I have been playing the beta since just before Christmas. The game is enjoyable. It certainly is not a sim but all in all fun to mess with. I have a slew of tanks in my barn. Nice to know there will be a fresh wipe. I will stick to American tanks. Seems to me many go for the German metal. I go as avgwarhawk when playing if you want to look me up when you are on.

It's kind of funny that everytime I said "Hi" you guys, you don't respond and left.

I'm wondering that I've done something wrong to you guys or else. :hmmm:

Sgt Spinach sounds good!
 

Try another vegetable name.People tend to stick to low carb diets these days....:D

Sadly, I see this heading the same way Navyfield is going...

Great gameplay, but the grinding gets old very quickly and it becomes hard for new players to join ranks because of elitists (this is my experience with NF). As for WoT I have never played (and sadly can't until they come out with a mac version, but based on the videos of gameplay it seems its very similar to NF.

I think, since that I'm not planning on paying for this, the I will work on becoming a low tier specialist, ie IV and under. Without gold, it will make the system difficult to advance, but if you specialize, the game will still be fun at low levels.

I'm kinda looking forward to the wipe, but then, I'm going to miss my 106% crew on my M37. Never felt the need to upgrade to the priest and start over, as the only change was increased HP, and when an SPG is taking direct fire, the end is near regardless.

Heheheh i saw it that time!.... that box is hard to see though

Sigh.... I just now saw that a) you can buy premium accounts with gold, and b) the benefits of the premium accounts. For the last 5 days I've been just turning the gold into credits!. Now by using it as a premium account i get more xp and credits ! I was wasting it on the LEAST efficient method of using gold.

Well folks... the end is here..... WoT went live at midnight EST for NA servers...

the second my brother gets off the TV its loltraktor time!
