"On the night of August 12-14, 2010, World of Tanks saw the light. For 10 years of existence, 11 Nations and more than 600 combat vehicles appeared in it, hundreds of events took place, and thousands of new features were added. To date, World of Tanks has registered more than 160 million players worldwide, the game has taken two Guinness world records for simultaneous stay of players online, and received 4 game Oscars."
"Decade" is a series of in-game events preceding the main event of the year - the 10th anniversary of the game. The anniversary event will begin on April 22 and will be divided into five acts, symbolizing five memorable milestones in the history of World of Tanks.
During this time, players will be able to earn valuable rewards by earning anniversary coins and special in-game assets (including a unique 3D style for the T30 and the legendary American TANK destroyer level IX) in a special Anniversary store.
Within each of the five acts, special micro-events "Remember everything"will be launched. These are exciting activities for the "tankers" community, related to significant events in the history of World of Tanks of certain periods. The first of these micro-events will be the return of the legendary General chat in the first act.
During the week, from April 22 to April 29, playing in random battles, "tankers" will be able to exchange pleasantries not only with allies, but also with opponents. The shared chat option can be disabled if desired. The first act will begin on April 22 and last until may 18.
"Over the past 10 years, we have managed not just to create a successful game - we have been able to rally a huge number of people around it in a close, almost family - like community," says Maxim Chuvalov, global publishing Director of World of Tanks. "On behalf of the World of Tanks team, I want to thank the players for supporting us over the years. This helped us develop together one of the most iconic MMO games in history. I am sure that we have a great future together! As a token of appreciation, we have prepared special events and gifts for our army of fans. On April 22, all players will receive our first surprise: we will return the General chat to the game for a week. Throughout the event, we invite players to join us in remembering all the most interesting things that happened with the game!".
