205 Days later: How nothing has changed, but things are different.

Vallter: Well-thought out, emotional and great post. With your permission, I
won't be so talkative. Unfortunately, I still need to, in order to
nail the issues on the head. -)
People have the habit of changing between online games. Not every person becomes 'addicted' to WoT. But your order of questions make sense, let me answer your statements one-by-one:
1)Memory Leaks are fixed about 30% with the last patch. With the next, that will be added just before or just after the game release it will be fixed 80-85 %.
2)Our game is Free-to-Play. It will remain so after release. This means you have no need to pay even a cent to play and enjoy the game.
3)New maps. 2 of them will be included in the next patch. We haven't released them earlier, because we wanted to complete the designing of new tanks first. You don't need maps, if you have no tanks, right? -)
4)New game modes. We have always stated, that we won't make them fast, because we want to make them with new ideas and make them good. We want our players to enjoy the unique abilities and functions. In summer we will add two or three.
5)Clan registration was already added to the game. We are not starting Clan Wars on the European and American servers right now because of several reasons:
- we want to finish the global map, add Africa, North and South America, Siberia.
- we want a certain number of strong clans. And taking into account the coming hardwipe, this won't be possible in following month. This has it's reasons as well. First of all we don't want a clan with a lot of spare time dominating on the whole map, while others will still drive Tier 6-7 tanks. We want to give all clans a chance to struggle for gold.
- we want to finish at least 50% of work on the server crossing system.
And now we are going to answer the painful question. Why we have not added all this things? OK, I will answer. For example, we wanted to add French tanks in March. But, we postponed it. And this is because we want to mend our server part. We have split our servers and our programmers were occupied on adjusting the connection to our servers. We want our users to have the best Ping possible. Also we are now working on moving the Russian server from Germany to Moscow and relieve the European server. After that our programmers will be able to get back to work on updates and features. I think, you sill agree with me, that no content will make you happy if the server will go down every hour or two.
I understand, that you have waited for a long period of time already. But if all those, who had left, will return to the game in June, or, moreover, Setember - they won't recognize this game.
