Collector’s Gem of the Week: Pz.Kpfw. IV Hydrostat.

Ectar:   I can see where you're coming from with this and I'll put the suggestion forward. Not all packages will be this price, I know of at least one in September that is interesting. I like the idea of giving collectors a heads up and time to make a choice.  

Ectar:   No, as I said over a year ago there was no plans to make the Hydro available again unless it was part of a retail promotion package. No policy is ever absolute and to have the mind set of "this is how things were done in the past, so we're going to keep doing things that way" and never changing, is not good in a constantly changing and evolving industry.  As I also said I can only ever give you information I have at the time, and at that time the information is correct. It's impossible for me to predict the future and if you want guarantees for stuff a year down the line I'm afraid that's not going to be possible for everything.    There is various classifications of premium tanks. As an example there are tanks that are unavailable for any retail or in-game sales (such as the pre-order tanks, alpha/beta tanks for that region, Type 59, clan wars tier X tanks). Tanks that are set aside for retail promotions or special events (PzIIJ, BTSV, Pz Hydro).  Retail promotion tanks can't be offered for cheaper than their initial packages when they were offered. This is why they are added to existing gold offers so the tank is essentially free.  The first group of tanks are unavailable for various reasons which are all fair reasons. Pre-order tanks were to reward loyal players who supported the launch of the game. Clan Wars tanks are a reward for participating in Clan Wars. You want one of them? Then play Clan Wars. Simply saying you don't have time or would rather pay money for them doesn't mean you have any entitlement to them or that they should be made available for you. It's like wanting a gold medal but saying you can't be bothered running a race. If you want the prize, you need to take part in the contest, there is no other way around that. Complaining the RU server can purchase pre-order tanks is pointless because the RU server never had a pre-order phase so the tanks were never available there. That's why the KV220 sometimes comes up for sale in EU as it was a vehicle never available in EU previously.   Regarding the news article being unavailable, it was removed from the portal when Razer no longer had stock of the mouse.  As for the wording of the article it stated:   We are pleased to unveil the new Razer branded World of Tanks designed perperipherals- DeathAdder mouse and Goliathus mouse mat Like all Razer products, these are high-performing, designed with gaming in mind and provides the ultimate unfair advantage   To celebrate the launch, we have included *exclusive in-game content (*quantities limited). Product Includes World of Tanks DeathAdder Mouse Pz.Kpfw. IV Hydraulic, Tier V German Medium Tank Garage Slot World of Tanks Goliathus Mouse mat 500 gold 3 Days of Premium Account Time   Reactivating the page now would serve no purpose and of course if we did, all the conspiracy theorists would claim we've edited it. (Without them of course being able to show what it 'used to' say). The NA article is still available on their site
