WoT RU: Black Market Emerges from the Shadows

A familiar face has returned after more than three long years, unfortunately, exclusively on the Russian servers. At least now we know that the original concept of the Black Market belongs to Lesta Games (Mir Tankov). It will be interesting to see what kind of rare tanks they decide to introduce in their version of the event.

Dates: November 17–26

There’s a place where no signs will lead you. A place ruled by risk, silence, and profit. Soon, its doors will open for those who are ready. An old acquaintance will show the way. Years have changed many things, but not his devotion to his craft.

  1. I preferred the Black Market to the Assembly Hall. Spending resources in the Black Market always had a certain “special” feel to it. They could just as easily call the Assembly Hall a Swap Shop. It’s a shame this format probably won’t be returning to WoT.

    1. As a professional person of color I find the use of black market term is racist and alludes to slavery

    2. It’s not like we have had the same concept since they decided not to go with Black market anymore. Caravan, or even that silly stuff Jason had earlier this year. Different names, same format

  2. When Bad and Old Vlad started his own version of The Hitler Youth I stopped paying attention to Russia for the next century.

  3. Black market was one of the most memorable and exciting events in WOT history. Despite poor execution in terms are garbage servers not being able to keep up, the event actually had some real deals for all, not just whales. I picked up quite a few T8 premiums during the 3 years BM was on, including many for credits.
