World of Warships

Sounds like WG is giving away some premium ships to lure inactive players back.  Been inactive for a while and did not get the email.

I think you have to be inactive for at least 6 12 months before WG starts throwing free stuff at you.

I am just a casual player...I put a few hours in once a month and might spend $5 on the game once every six months.

So all of this angst just leaves me scratching my head...guess I'm just not that into the game.

My biggest issue with the game is that it starts to get very "samey" after a while.

Same here.  I play for a few weeks every few months.  And not very "seriously" even then.

  But seriously, there is HMS Emerald experiencing what seem to be some newly-added wave effects:

Over the past weeks, Wargaming has been conducting a strategic review of business operations worldwide. The company has decided it will not own or operate any businesses in Russia and Belarus and will leave both countries.

Effective March 31 the company transferred its live games business in Russia and Belarus to local management of Lesta Studio that is no longer affiliated with Wargaming. The company will not profit from this process either today or going forward. Much to the contrary we expect to suffer substantial losses as a direct result of this decision.

We will be completing the operational transition with all due speed while remaining in full compliance with all laws and ensuring the ongoing safety and support of our employees. During the transition period the live products will remain available in Russia and Belarus and will be operated by the new owner.

Wargaming has also started the process of closing its studio in Minsk, Belarus.

We will be providing as much severance and support as possible to our employees affected by the change.

Despite the magnitude of this decision, we as a company are confident in the future of our business and are committed to delivering quality games to our players.

Glad to see this. I had made the personal decision to uninstall and stop all purchases. Based on this, I'll head back in.

Now I wish that Gaijin would do something similar.

Well...my son has taken over my old steam id, so I'm starting over with games like World of Warships.
It seems very different than when I first started five or six years ago.  Anyway, here is the same old
