World of Tanks news » Veterans Challenge Prize Pool Increase

Tankers!

We set new peak concurrent player records this weekend, meaning multiple things: you're enjoying version 8.1, you had a lot of fun with the Golden Joystick Celebration, and we've also increased the prize pool and donation amounts for our Veterans Month activities.

At peak 36,608 of you were logged into the game on November 4, 2012--setting a new record for the North American cluster. This means the prize pool of the Veterans Challenge is now at a minimum of $36,608 and the amount for our Veterans Charity donation is now at $36,608.

Remember, the more logged in at once, the better chance we have of setting new peak concurrent player numbers. Simply log in and play World of Tanks each night and you'll contribute to that number. Spread the word; tell your friends so that we're able to increase the prize pool and donation further.

We'll be providing updates every time a new record is set, so stay tuned and join us on the battlefield!
