Mugsy_: Hey Kona, I believe they've had the eastern portion of the NA map for some time.
Their immense clan wars population warranted additional provinces to battle over.

GeneralDirection: Europe will be turned off tomorrow morning. It will be wiped during the downtime to allow all clans to participate in the first migration event. Once the map is up, Europe will no longer be available; the action will shift to North America along with this event.
We're working on a preview of the event; we'll hopefully have that done and all the details ready to go tomorrow.

Gaea: You will get all the details about this tomorrow - but, the NA map is a replacement, not an addition to the EU map.
MoP is writing up a fully detailed article about this for tomorrow - be patient

Captain_Judo: Among other things. Next week we'll experiment with 44 point limit.
With that said, 7v7-42 pts remains the global standard.

GeneralDirection: We'll see how this one works out and determine if we want to do another one this widespread.

GeneralDirection: Yep, that's a possibility.

GeneralDirection: Very recently. It's been in the development pipeline for quite a while now (it was inspired by the all star events), and just passed through testing about two weeks ago.
If you can score an Ace badge pretty reliably, you should have a good chance in this. Ace badges aren't given out too often, so 1st class probably has a good chance too. Ultimately it all depends on the number of each tank playing during the event.

GeneralDirection: Unfortunately we don't have a leader board UI for this. It's a behind-the-scenes data query at the moment. It's an idea to request for the future, but could take some time to develop.
