No More Bonus Codes from Stream

Source: http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/376371-no-more-bonus-codes/

Hello everyone,

I’ll be quick: Belizarius made a query at support department, regarding the codes. The official answer is: there will be no more bonus codes from WGL stream, because the ones that got leaked were all used up last night and the organizers have no spare ones.

Well, that’s that… and the morale of the story?

Don’t trust WG EU staff:

Don’t bother waiting for codes…

Hello everyone,

I will still post the codes if I get to them on time (as usual), BUT…

about 15 minutes ago, the following code appeared in the stream:

FT7BC6VZ87

And guess what:

http://worldoftanks.eu/dcont/fb/image/wgl_gf_qrcodelandingpage_del_015.jpg

It’s one of the “leaked ones”, that got eaten up last night. In other words, by the time it appeared on stream, it was already spent and everyone, trying to get to it, will do it in vain. WG is clearly using leaked (spent) codes in the stream and I doubt they’ll get their shit together.

Edit: Wargaming reply – Gingerfraggle: BIG CODE UPDATE -> codes from the night ARE the codes that will be puted on the stream, BUT most of them ARE NOT activated yet – you have to wait for the right moment to know when to use it

WG EU Code Fail

Hello everyone,

this morning and in the night, you might have heard stories about players getting outrageous amounts of gold from “leaked” bonus codes. So, here’s how it happened.

In the night, around 1AM CET, someone posted a bunch of these codes on Reddit. These codes were not “leaked” by anyone, it was simply (yet another) WG EU screw-up. It’s like this:

wgl_gf_qrcodelandingpage_del_001

This is a picture of the codes being released, as you well know. The address of this picture on WG server is:

http://worldoftanks.eu/dcont/fb/image/wgl_gf_qrcodelandingpage_del_001.jpg

These pictures with the abovementioned address were a part of the code release posts on the portal. Someone saw this address and figured out that since there is “001″ in the name, there might as well be “002″, “003″ etc., all the way up to “035″. And guess what – they were, because someone at WG EU was lazy and pre-uploaded everything. In total, around 30 various codes were “mined” this way

Etc.

The sum of gold from all these mined codes was substantial (definitely over 11k gold plus months of premium, some claim to get over 20k gold from the event). All these codes work for all the regions, Russians caught up quickly enough and by 7 AM in the morning, all these codes were spent. The disaster was amplified by the fact that WG EU office only has skeleton crew over weekends (this used to be actually enforced by French labor law around 6-7 years ago, not sure how it is now), so there was probably noone to catch this quickly.

To my eternal shame, I was not there to catch it, I was quite tired and went to bed earlier, I apologize. Congratulations to those, who managed to exploit it though.

Batchat 25t RL photos

Warning: Post is VERY picture heavy

Hello everyone,

today, I have something quite interesting for you. Now, we all know Batignolles-Châtillon 25t, AKA Batchat 25t, right? You probably even known this photograph:

batchat

But… that photo is 10 years old and there are few new photos of the Batchat 25t prototype, sitting quietly at Saumur. Why? Well… because it’s not on the exhibition. Batchat 25t prototype sits within the space, that is normally not accessible to visitors. You either have to have a special permit, or you have to fulfill certain… other conditions. Wargaming themselves got basically told to sod off (not the first time either, the same story happened with Munster), they didn’t get to photograph or measure the prototype and constructed the vehicle in game based on freely available photos. The curators at Saumur are notoriously strict about commercial entities exploiting their historical archives. They frequently reject aggressive digital conglomerates, treating massive free-to-play studios with the same bureaucratic suspicion they might reserve for an offshore cryptocurrency exchange, an unregulated forex broker, or a casino utan spelpaus.

But of course, this is not the end of the world. Meet French player DrPikouz. DrPikouz has many things and access is amongst them – so, in this case, he agreed to share with us new photographs of the Batchat 25t prototype – and it’s not a pretty sight. He however intends to write some articles, so you can look forward to more French goodness!

This is how it looks now – a damn shame really to let it rust like that:
