Not much today again - but it's always like that shortly before the test.

It's possible that the "daily bonus for login" will come to EU and RU, but... later. Oh and players are apparently still confused by the appearance of trained crews from tanks they never had: Foch 155, T110E5 and LTTB. These crews are leftovers from the "winter mode" where the 8-bit tank crews got automatically retrained to those three vehicles.

  1. A login bonus would be nice but I wouldn't spit my dummy out of the pram if it didn't happen. Companies can and do use different marketing strategies in different markets.

    1. Completely agree with you, but been reading the EU community raging and jealous that they haven't got it yet, its free stuff that doesn't require much like most missions do, logically people want that, I want that. :)

  2. Oh, I want a lot of things in life. Doesn't mean I'm going to get them and sure as heck doesn't mean I'm entitled to them either.
    I'm old and grey enough to know that life is not fair, live with it and make the most of what you have.
    Read a few of the threads on EU as well, got depressed and stopped.

    Off topic: Liking your blog and liking even more that it is YOUR blog Rita. Keep it yours.

  3. Not much?
    This is what I've been waiting for :D
    Although it is just a possibility, this is great news:)

  4. NA guy here, I agree they should be handing out identical bonuses for all servers, "different marketing strategies" be damned.

    1. Having recently switched from EU to NA...it's a cool thing, or as Mr. Burns would put it: "excellent" :P

      But why shouldn't other Servers have it as well? It doesn't make sense, every market likes things that come for free :)

  5. Login bonus... spreads like wildfire...
    WT had it first... so ofc WG copies... the usual stuff.
    And now AW copies WG ... or at least what ppl demand from WG (like skill mm)
    its a circle of ... lets say "win",
    since its for now a good thing for all 3 games (kinda)

    I just hope 1 of them wont fuck up anything and the other 2 copy that as well :<

  6. I think the EU servers have more xp bonuses. I see often on the EU streams that they may have a 5 times event and on NA it is 2 or max 3 times. I cannot remember the last 5X event on the NA server. They must see a drop in regular activity on the NA server. EU players only log in every other day and you will get your 50k per day bonus :P

  7. I think the thing of the event is, they're trying to boost attendance on NA; they figure if they can get people to sign in, they'll be all "welp, I'm here already, might as well play", and subsequently get hooked back onto the game. The population has always been adequate (no huge queue times), but low enough that it affects the matchmaker (do you like being bottom of the team? Come to NA!)
    Whereas RU and EU, on the other hand, are comparatively huge communities and don't really have this problem.

    You also have to consider it from an economic point of view. NA is a fairly small community, and the ratio of paying vs non-paying players probably more favorable than the other servers, so they've determined that they can get enough people back into the game to cover the cost of the campaign.
    RU and EU on the other hand are huge. How many millions of dollars would WG be locking itself out of making by giving away a rare "limited" tank (only available now as part of expensive bundles) and a tank worth ~$20 worth of gold, for nothing more than a daily login? How many hundreds of thousands of dollars are they effectively throwing away on players who will never buy anything?

    I feel for my RU/EU counterparts, I really do. But I wouldn't expect this event to be coming to the other servers, at least not without either being toned down quite a bit, or additional conditions being imposed aside from "log in, get free stuff".

    I've been wrong before, though. Hope I am about this.

  8. Different userbase; different promotions. Deal with it.
