TragicLoss: Hey, all you wonderful women tankers!
We are fast approaching International Women's Day on March 8, and this year we decided to host a new community event celebrating our female tankers!
Please share your stories about why you play World of Tanks and what it means to you. We'll be taking some and putting them in an article on March 9th.
I'll start!
I started playing World of Tanks in 2013...My dad introduced me to the game. He had brought home some invite codes and told me we could play together, so I happily punched in for a new account. We spent a good chunk of time playing whenever we could. I became incredibly invested very quickly; I began participating in the forums, attending every live stream, and live event, and even joined a clan. I made quite a lot of friends and rose up to be one of a few small streamers and eventually even made it into one of the first iterations of Content Creator programs. I grew to be a recognizable name in a few circles. I was lucky enough to stand out in the crowd and joined a Chapter in a Charity based around World of Tanks streams. This was just the beginning of my involvement.
I had applied to work for Wargaming twice, the first time I was unable to land a position, but Wargaming staff now knew I was serious. The second time came after I had attended a Q&A session with a group of WoT Contributors to meet Victor Kislyi. The Q&A was a huge part of my continued drive to apply. I made it a point to apply to another position, Events coordinator. I wasn't hired, no matter. Another position opened a couple of months later and I threw my hat into the ring again for Community Coordinator. The rest of my story is all in the streams on our Twitch channel, on image files from Let's Battle Tour, and in the minds of the amazing friends I've made from Wargaming.
World of Tanks started out as father-daughter bonding and grew quickly into a career I would be happy to tell myself from 8 years ago about.
