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.

is a special nickname background displayed when loading into battle, in the battle results screen, and on the team panels upon pressing TAB. Alpha testers have a purple background with the letter “A”; Beta testers have a purple background with the letter “B”.

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.
