Wargaming (correction) NA have made a competition package available to cover recent server issues. This issue was also compensated for on the RU cluster. Here on EU nothing no micro patch or compensation even though players have been experiencing some lags and freezes.
From Wargaming portal
Over the past several months, many players reported an unusual number of lag spikes or freezes when playing World of Tanks. Given the nature of the internet, occasional glitches can happen in any online game, but this recent flare-up wasn’t typical.
Our team has been hard at work to address these issues, and released a micro-update on April 13 which solved the problem for many. However, some players are still affected, but it appears their issues are related to internet traffic rather than the game servers. Nevertheless, we’re continuing to research these issues to determine their exact causes. If you still experience severe lag or freezes, visit our Customer Service Center to see how you can help us in this effort.
We know it’s no fun to have battles interrupted like this, and in the spirit of improving your gaming experience as much as possible, we’d like to express our gratitude to you for sticking with us as we get to the bottom of things.
All players can get a special gift if you log in and play a single battle between April 26-30:
- 3 Days Premium Account
- 5x +50% Credit Reserves (1 hour)
- 5x +100% XP Reserves (1 hour)
- 5x +200% Crew XP Reserves (1 hour)
For the issue on the RU cluster the package was.
- 1 Day Premium Account
- 1 +50% XP Reserves (2 hours)
- 1 +100% Crew XP Reserves (2 hours)
- 1 +100% Free XP Reserves (2 hours)
It’s a nice gesture, ill give them that
Indeed !
A good move
Can’t count the number of CTD and lags now
Are you sure this is for EU. I don’t see it on their portal but I do see it on NA
No. But the post has been corrected.
Dear loyal money whales,
We are sorry for not feeding our server hamsters more and rushing in patches without proper debug testing because you whine like puppies when we don’t feed you free content every month. We are also sorry you run world of tanks on your great grandfather’s typewriter.
Please buy a proper computer and stop spamming our forums you twats.

Might want to add WargamingNA to that list. They’re getting as sick of it as EU is. 😛
But I like playing on my 286 with S3 Trio video card.
niceeee 😀
I saw this on the NA webpage, I’m not sure this also applies to EU server
all the the above has been going on all last weekend on SEA… but will WG do shit for us? FK NO! Too bad WG can not buy proper servers with all the money they make.
No they won’t, because they don’t own the SEA server, that’s been well established since the server went live
You might be thinking about the China server there. China and Asia server are two different things with WoT Asia workinng with WoT EU and NA while “WoT China” does what ever the fuck it wants
Played 5 battles on EU, won 1, no premium
Yeah. I’ve yet to see anything about this as an official statement from WG EU. Just WG NA. Does anyone have a link to the original post?

It’s a NA thing.. not an EU thing. 🙁
dont even bother if you in asia
and once again Asia misses out despite also being hit hard by it? And no mention of it here either… it’s like the Asia server doesn’t actually exist
It doesn’t does it? I for one have never heard of it!
We had some strange micro patch, unannounced, sometime last week. Had some strange disconnect one time, had some lag a few times, nothing to serious.
But of course fuck the EU players, no compensation for them.
same thing here, had been disconected more than a few times and couldn’t go back to battle until it was finished. but they announced update for tommorow (correct me if i’m wrong), so who knows, maybe after that we’ll get something.
Free stuff is always welcome, thanks! … I didnt encounter any problem the last few months though. 🙂
It was too good to be true.
On the EU server, the competent persons sh*t on the playerbase
For wargaming europeans are just sheep that feed them with money and they won’t give us anything
Yeah, time to think about my spending habits for my Hobby WoT. I got lags and packetlosses all the way from the beginning oft the Marathon till maybe 1-2 weeks ago. Looks like they have enough of my money now.
Oh dear, I know its hard to satisfy all of your customers but looks like its easy to piss off many of them in a heartbeat. WG you really need to work on your CR!!!
Has/will never change. What do you expect?
This issue wasn’t caused by the WoT NA hardware. There are two horrible hops that much of the traffic was passing through to hit the NA east server.
The problem was and will continue to be is that NA customer service is complete shit. For months people have been sending them the logs and customer service will immediately blame things like mods or ISP’s even with the proof right in their face.

All these people on the EU and (non official) Asia server griping about not getting freebies and micro patch when the micro patch is tied to a version (9.18) that isn’t even available in EU and Asia.
NA is the guinea pig for 9.18, since EU, RU, etc still haven’t gotten it after 8 days, so how can you be given a micro patch and compensation for something you don’t have (not saying that you don’t have lag)?
It clearly says the micropatch was released on April 13, before even NA server got 9.18.
This issue had nothing to do with update 9.18. It was an issue that persisted for weeks during 9.17
Free stuff, yay!
About the lag problems, i had non caused from WG afaik, but my internet router is sometimes saturated by the bunch of wifi thirsty electronics at home
and I’m still getting 3 lag spikes every match caused by the spotting mechanics.
