A Well-Deserved Reward

Ten years ago, Wargaming was a small development studio dreaming of releasing a fantasy MMORPG. In December 2008, however, a completely different idea came up, replacing orcs and elves with tracks and guns.

World of Tanks was born!

To mark the event, every tanker who registered by Dec. 31, 2017, will receive a gift from our team. You can check which gift you are entitled to in the “Achievement” tab in-game. The item is based on the year of registration — not the specific date — and it will vary depending on time in the game.

For example: If you registered on Dec. 31, 2013, you would get the same rewards as someone who registered on Jan. 1, 2013.

It took a lot of thought on how to reward everyone and we realized finding a perfect system would prove impossible. So we decided to choose a system that would be the best for the majority of players.

You can grab your rewards starting Nov. 28, 2018 until December 1, 2019 at 03:20 PT | 05:20 CT | 06:20 ET.

The background can be displayed or hidden via the Badge menu. Click on your nickname in the upper left corner of the Garage screen; then click on the square area to the left of the nickname in the menu. You will find the Display/Hide the Tester Badge checkbox in the new window.

The Т-50-2 is an event Soviet Tier VI light tank. You do not need to retrain a Crew from other Soviet light tanks for this vehicle. This tank is for players who have enjoyed the game for six (6) or more years and its style emphasizes the vehicle’s exterior in the way that veterans remember it.

You’ve been with us over half of the years that have passed since World of Tanks was launched. It’s been quite a journey, and we’re sure you can recall the introduction of new movement physics for tank models, fought in Tank Company Battles in the Hellcat and KV-1S, and saw the Port and the Dragon Ridge maps.

Have you seen things people won’t believe? Attacking tanks hanging off ledges without falling? The mountain gorge blocked on Lakeville? Dominating enemies in the mighty KV, making them light up with the VK 28.01 and the T-50-2? Surely you have experienced all of this, for you’re a World of Tanks veteran and a rare witness to the dawn of the game and its key milestones.
