“AS: This number is not secret at all, we are quiet proud of it. In Beta we had in all an amount of 4.5 million players, now we are close to 10 million. Thanks to the shared Wargaming ID the approximately 80 million players of WoT are able to jump in a plane in any time, also this applies to pilots, they can ride any steel monster any time.”
he referred to the shared ID, this means that any WoT player can jump in an airplane (as said) and vice versa (the part u have mistaken)
So WoWp players can drive tanks (Steel monsters, duh)

“Steel monsters”? Planes aren’t often ever made of steel….

What a ridiculous amount of bs.

From misleading numbers to “simulators” that surely have nothing to do with this game.

I dont think WoWp is a bad game, but this kind of information he gives is so false.
They just try to make themselfes look good. Nothing else.

Not dissing WoWp players but … simulator fanatics … and WoWp … really ?
How ?
Snails through honey race enthusiasts maybe, but flight sim fanatics ?

Also … 5th flight system ? Whatever they had in 0.3ish was nice, after that they just went crazy. Modifying the size of the aircraft to make the maps seem bigger, the dozens of FPS killing smoke and cloud models the 2 min matches …

2nd also, 4.5 mil players in Beta ? What Beta ? The day before launch ? Certainly not in that 10 mins in queue Beta I knew …

sure, but assuming that the ratio of active accounts to the number of accounts online is roughly the same for WoT and WoWp, than that still means that on the EU server WoWp has barely between 1% and 2% of WoT playerbase. It’s easy to double your playerbase when it’s so small to begin with. If they had around 20000 players online in peak hours at release which I’m pretty sure WoT had) then doubling that number would actually be an achievement worth mentioning, in case of WoWp it’s just hilarious, I would really love to see WoWp financial results

Check words ‘quiet’ if they shouldn’t be ‘quite’.

The numbers of players that they are boasting about are really deceptive since they are probably counting anybody that has an account and has only tried the game once and this goes for both games. But as you said the number of people online at peak times has doubled and getting into battles at least up to tier 6 (which is my highest) is, even with only 1900 players, max 5 seconds.

WG also likes to boast they have 80 millions (or so, no idea now) players, yet you don’t see these numbers daily.

“practically the number of active players has been doubled since November 2013. It is an unbelievable feeling, that so many people encourages us. They are those kind of people who are so fanatical to play simulators”

AHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

everything about this sentence is just hilarious, logged in 2 seconds ago, 1900 players online on EU, the most I’ve seen in the evening during the weekends is barely 5000, so I guess it’s technically possible that they double from 3k max in november to around 6k max now, way to go WG! And simulator and WoWp together in one sentence….
