In the short term, gold and free experience will be the same for (shared between) the two projects: World of Warplanes and World of Tanks. Free experience will then be implemented as well. "Real" gold will appear in the final release version of World of Warplanes, and will be available for purchase for real money. We do not want it to be possible for someone from the Open Beta test period to take advantage of any remaining issues or balancing work, and thereby receive an unfair advantage over other players. Our main aim during the Open Beta Test is to ensure that we have determined the best and most balanced economic model for the game. Thus, all players will be placed in an equal starting position, regardless of whether or not they were previously also test pilots. The full release of World of Warplanes will be preceded by a further full reset of the gains achieved by testers during all of the previous stages of testing. Players can then earn new tokens in Stage 2 by playing the game as normal. Please note – when the server is wiped at the end of Stage 1, all tokens still possessed by players will be converted into credits (at a twice the normal in-game rate) to take into Stage 2. You can also spend your tokens on purchasing premium aircraft and hangar slots, converting experience and training your crews as well as converting them into credits. The second stage of the Open Beta Test will commence with a wipe of the remaining 'test Premium account days' and tokens.Īt this point, players can now spend their earned tokens to purchase a Unified Premium Account, granting you premium access to both World of Warplanes and World of Tanks. The initial number of tokens will depend on the total amount of experience each tester had prior to the wipe and, after this, further tokens can be earned in battle.ĭuring the first stage of the Open Beta Test, everything that was previously available for test gold will be purchasable using tokens, with the exception of Premium account status (which will be automatically given to all players). Tokens will therefore replace the previously available test gold. Moreover during the Open Beta Test, each tester will receive a certain amount of temporary gold units which will be called "tokens". This applies to all warplanes, experience, credits and 'test gold'. With the beginning of the Open Beta Test, we plan to perform a so-called "hard wipe" – a full reset of the gains achieved by players during all of the previous stages of testing.

In this article we would like to show you how this important step in the development of the project will be handled, and what surprises await you, the players, in the near future.

We’re approaching the start of the Open Beta test phase, which will be followed by the official release of the game.
