World of Tanks to get Australian server

In a recent interview (yesterday) for games.on.net, World of Tanks representative made a promise to introduce an Australian server to World of Tanks. To quote:

“We don’t have a timeframe yet,” said Wargaming’s South-East Asia CEO Jasper Nicolas to us on Sunday afternoon. “But the political will is there. We are committed to it and we are going to make it happen.”

“We know how important it is to get that ping down even lower, to shave those milliseconds off. We’re doing a lot of research right now to decide where to locate it. But we are going to do it. It is only a matter of time.”

That should make the game better better for the tankers from down under :)

Evilly on CW campaign reward

This applies apparently for RU server. I am not sure, if everything works analogically on EU/US servers, but:

- the M60 tanks will be awarded next tuesday or wednesday, along with the slot
- it will be awarded to TOP 50 clans of the campaign (which did 5+ fights per stage and 10+ in the campaign)
- the next campaign reward will be the VK7201 (Failowe)
