WoT: Fair Play Update (April)

World of Tanks has always been open to modifications and customizations, as long as they are in line with our Fair Play Policy. But we keep out unwanted, cheating, and harmful software that manipulates gameplay and provides unfair advantages. We want to make it clear once again that we have zero tolerance for cheating! Ensuring Fair Play will always be among our top priorities, and we will do our best to keep the gaming environment as fair as possible.

Today, we have taken another step in this direction and placed a massive ban wave across all servers. In this wave, we’ve penalized 1893 accounts in the EU region. 1437 of these accounts have received their first warning, and 456 have been banned permanently.

This ban wave will be followed by others in the future, so be sure to visit the Mod Hub to find all the verified and newest mods for World of Tanks. The Mod Hub is the safest place to download various mods for World of Tanks, without worrying about policy violations.

NA: In this wave for the Americas from March 21 to April 25, we penalized 312 accounts: 242 of these received their first warning, and 70 were banned permanently.

ASIA:

  • 128 accounts permanently banned for botting (view the full list of accounts banned for botting here)
  • 227 accounts penalized for using illegal mods or engaging in misconduct; of these, 44 accounts will be permanently banned

RU: As part of this campaign, 21,847 accounts were blocked in the RU region. 18,630 of them received the first warning, 3217 are permanently blocked.

WoWS: Separating economic bonuses from visual customizations

Previously, we announced our plan to detach economic bonuses from visual customizations, as well as update the way economic bonuses are working. Now, we’re ready to share the details.

We realize that this is no small change and that you’ll likely have some questions, so we’ll be making another publication with answers soon after this one is published.

Almost 7 years have passed since the game’s release, and one of the most important components of World of Warships — the economy — has remained largely unchanged. Over time, we’ve drawn up a long list of things that could be improved or changed. When we started working on the popular idea of separating the economic bonuses from the visuals, we realized that this entailed many other changes.

We plan to release this update in late summer or early fall, but you can check out all the details now.

Below you will find:

  • The main goals of the update;
  • Key information;
  • Details of the change;
  • A conversion calculator to estimate how the transition will affect you;
  • Examples of the usage of bonuses and a battle rewards calculator to compare earnings before and after the change;
  • Conversion rules describing how the process works in detail;
  • Some explanations of other minor changes.
