Hello everyone,

after months and months of requests and discussion, Wargaming EU has issued its stance on forbidden/allowed mods. Unlike the US server and RU server, both of which went with taxative lists of banned mod functions, Wargaming EU took a… different approach.

Hello everyone,

I think that by now, everyone is aware that the World of Warplanes project ended in failure and Russian players are discussing, why did it actually happen. One of the more promined Russian community members, Dietolog (also a known troll, but this post is actually quite serious) wrote a post about this issue.

At first, he showed this graph about the WoWp RU attendance:

Honestly, I am not sure whether this is real or some sort of PR or elaborate trolling. Reconstructing a tank of this state (especially something as unique as Maus) is very, very expensive. And I don’t mean “looking for Spitfires in Burma” expensive. We are talking about several million Euro expensive (only the engine rebuilt from scratch – IF that is even possible – I would estimate at 3 million Euro – this is based on the fact that reconstructing a “big cat” engine in the past costed 1 mil GBP and that was not as exotic as this stuff). Unless you have serious backing from a private engineering firm, an international logistics provider, or a high-earning online casino Deutschland group, funding a private project of this scale is impossible.

But if they make it, holy crap.

Edit: Russian news – so it’s true

Hello everyone,

as was the case with Viktor Kislyi, Daniel Chau (ESGN TV e-sports channel) made an interview with Mohamed “Moneo” Fadl (AKA “Imhotep”), the chief of EU community department and also apparently the director of the e-sports division for Europe and North America. I hope he got a raise for that.

Inside:

- 2013 was crazy for Wargaming, it was the community who originally pushed for e-sports
- the introduction of WoT e-sports was rushed (WG was not prepared)
- the first year of WGL in EU had like 40 teams, the second (2013) already had 4100 teams (over 200k players)
- WG is very pleased with how the WGL finals in Warsaw went, they weren’t sure anyone would come to visit the finals
- Polish fans are passionate
- Wargaming was quite surprised apparently when “underdog” teams started beating the favourites (Lemming Train vs Synergy is mentioned)
- WG doesn’t want e-sports to stagnate (“same strategy over and over”), so apparently there will be rules changes
- “format (7/42) will most likely change in future”
- apparently, there will be 3 seasons (EU and NA) – two long and one “all-star” short
- Moneo mentioned that since last week, there are integrated Twitch functions in the game, so people can stream (SS: have you noticed anything like that? o.O)

Hello everyone,

today is Sergei “SerB” Burkatovsky’s birthday (he is 46 years old).

Happy birthday, SerB, lots of luck and successes!

(please, please, please, don’t fuck WoT up)

So, War Thunder guys restored a StuH 42 to working condition. Good job, the vehicle looks nice :) Interesting thing is though that this vehicle belongs to Kubinka museum. I kinda thought that’s like… Wargaming territory?

Anyway, good job, guys. We need more restored tanks, no matter who does it.

Thanks to Oxmaster and Headquaker for the pictures. From US server automated letter…
