admin: CEO Wargaming.net Victor Kislyi in his latest interview to Markee
Dragon reveals the story of WOT’s development and explains why
tanks have been chosen the central idea of the project:
“There would be grand strategy that started in the kitchen”, - the Man Behind World of Tanks tells his interlocutor the story of his childhood passions that led to the creation of one of the greatest MMO projects ever.
Victor Kislyi calls WOT a combination and synergy of everything he and his team had been doing before. “World of Tanks is very close to being perfect”, - he says. What makes the game even more admirable is the fact that its creation started long time ago in the imagination of a little boy. “I am kinda game-designer since my school years”, - confides Victor. – “First time I saw a computer in 1987 or 1988, I played all the games and then I realized that I’d love myself to be connected with this”.
Once he even created a game (although it wasn’t a computer one but still it contained maps, vehicles, so one can easily trace the link to World of Tanks) and when he saw the game in a shop he said it was his idea and the answer of the sales-assistant was that the game had been created by somebody else before the boy was even born. In the interview the WOT developer shares some other personal remembrances too. “I was born in Soviet Union where we had a militaristic type of society. We were peaceful people but we were always preparing for war in case capitalists attack us”, - narrates Victor and Markee’s recollections of those times are also quite fascinating. “We also practiced getting under a desk covering our heads in case of a mushroom”, - replies the interview. “Oh, yes, that too. But you know, in case of a mushroom the desk doesn’t help”, - was Victor’s reaction.
