Quote Will this game cost money?
From an admin, Jeremy Taylor:
Quote
- Premium accounts; the premium gives +50% to credits and gold per battle to the owner. Premium account is a very good thing for players who don't have enough time in real life to dedicate to their favorite game. Still however, this account will not give you any advantages in battles. I mean, Tiger achieved through playing with premium will be absolutely equal to Tiger achieved without any investments. The only advantage is your time saved.
- Premium tanks; these are some prominent special tanks that will be a kind of jewels in the crown of your collection.
- Gold; players will be able to purchase some additional gold to be later exchanged into ingame credits
- Custom features; some personal drawings, insignias, custom camouflage and clan emblems available for money.
Still, we believe that majority of players will be getting tons of fun playing World of Tanks without investing a penny.
