Tankers!
[UPDATE] We've updated this massive preview with events all the way through to the middle of January!
We've only got a few days left in the year so we're trying to cram as much as possible into the remaining time. In a break from the norm, we're releasing all of the special and event news early! Yes, we know it's a massive amount of information to sift through, but we're pretty sure you'll find at least one thing to look forward to over the holiday season and coming New Year.
The bonuses, discounts, and the tank giveaway are a way of saying "Thank You" for your support over the year. Enjoy!
