AW Gold: May be a hoax after all

Russian Source:
We know already about AW’s advertising campaign. However, the players suspected some kind of trick, which happens to take place actually. Mail.ru elusively stated that the gold will be accounted in some game “WoT”, not explicitly “World of Tanks”. And now a flash game with the title “WoT” came up!
Now Mail.ru can, having decoyed a handful of players and given them gold in World of Tanks, trick all others by sending the gold to this flash game.
2500 gold in the “WoT” flash game, who didn’t ever dream about that?
The players already suspect a conspiracy since the since isn’t quite official, very new and the game itself is quite old.
Mail.ru support is stubbornly not stating the precise name of the game.
Moreso, World of Tanks developers warned that the payment can be withdrawn by mail.ru and as such, will block the receivers account. However, such an option is not probable, but the devs warn of such scenarios nevertheless.

AW Gold: RU Developer Warning

Thanks Vlad!
A known developer under the nickname of ADckii commented on the AW advertisement campaign where you get 2500 gold in WoT for achieving tier 6 in AW:
1) You play WoT
2) See the AW campaign
3) Unlock tier 6, play a battle
4) Choose WoT gold
5) Be happy about gold
6) Campaign is closed
7) Gold is revoked
8) Account blocked
9) …
10) NO PROFIT
Mail.ru does not have access to internal Wargaming recources to distribute gold endlessly. For WG, this ingame currency has no price. But for other companies and players gold costs real money (2500 gold = 550 RUB). Even if, say, 1000 people will choose the WoT gold, 0,5 million rubles into nothing is a failure for a beginning game. But recalling the gold and banning the players would be an amusing step. Because if a player is banned on basis of a financial operation in WoT, he won’t have anything to do but continue playing on his tier 6 in AW. The focus seems to be on the ignorance of the player about the ban reason and will not investigate. The account will be unbanned, but this will take its time.
But the developers made the right move in warning the players.

Armored Warfare Advert not a hoax – proof

Translated by Vlad from trusty Russian sources
Earlier, it was reported on AW’s advertisement campaign to play the game and get gold in WoT. Now, one player has already met the goals and the system is, in fact, working. He states that it took him 70 battles to reach tier 6 and play one battle on it. After that, he recieved a pop-out to recieve the gift, where he choose to obtain 2500 gold in WoT, which promptly arrived on his account.

RU: Play AW, get 2500 WoT Gold

Thanks to Laszlo!

Armored Warfare is attracting seasoned tank drivers as best it can. First the Type 59 giveaway, now they even pay WoT gold! Mail.ru is promising to pay all registered players, who research a tier 6 non-premium tank and play one battle in it, 2500 gold to their World of Tanks account. Basically mail.ru will donate to Wargaming for players. And the funniest thing: Wargaming support is calling this fraud.

AW: Free Type 59 for Everyone!

LOL

Obsidian Entertainment and My.com are proud to present this year’s holiday present to all players – the Type 59 Tier 3 Premium Main Battle Tank.

Few tanks achieved such a legendary status in both history and amongst the players of online tank games as the Type 59, thanks to the mixture of excellent protection and great firepower while still maintaining good mobility, traits it will possess in Armored Warfare as well. In the past, this vehicle was only available to a very limited group of players. We believe that it deserves a better fate and have decided to give it to all players who log in to the game between the 18th of December, 2015 and the 3rd of January, 2016 as a gift, in order to thank everyone for their continued support of Armored Warfare!

The tank itself was developed from the T-54, of which thousands were built and exported mostly to Asian and African clients. Its heavily upgraded variants serve even today, a testament to the durability of the blend of Soviet design and Chinese improvements. Armed with a 100mm gun, it’s a worthy opponent to all the vehicles it meets in battle. We hope you will enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed creating it for you!

See you on the battlefield!
