A Well-Deserved Reward

Ten years ago, Wargaming was a small development studio dreaming of releasing a fantasy MMORPG. Then, in December 2008, a completely different idea shot up, replacing orcs and elves with tracks and guns. That's when World of Tanks was born.

To mark the event, every tanker who registered by December 31st, 2017, will receive a gift from our team, and each reward will be based on your time in World of Tanks. You can check which gift you are entitled to in the “Achievement” tab in-game. It will be based on the year of registration, not the specific date.

So, for example, if you registered on December 31st, 2013, you would get the same rewards as someone who registered on January 1st, 2013.

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

You will be able to grab your rewards from 28 November until December 2019.

It’s amazing: 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, have fought in Tank Company Battles in Hellcats and KV-1Ss, and have seen 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 over enemies in the mighty KV, making them light up with the VK 28.01 and the T-50-2? Sure you have experienced all of this, for you’re a World of Tanks veteran: a rare witness to the dawn of the game and its key milestones.

It is truly amazing that having entered World of Tanks so long ago as a tester, you would stay around for such a long time helping to expand the game and make it better. We’re overjoyed by having people like you among our players: the elite veterans who left their imprint (or track print) on DNA of World of Tanks and can easily recall things that hardly anyone will. We could even say you are part of the furniture in World of Tanks now!

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 U.S.S.R. Tier VI light tank. You do not need to retrain a crew from other U.S.S.R. light tanks for this vehicle. This vehicle is for players who have enjoyed the game for 6 or more years and its style emphasizes the vehicle’s exterior in the way that veterans remember it.
