World of Tanks rolling toward retail

@Fire Walk With Me

It is hardly pay to win.

@Thrishmal

Yeah, I am hoping there will be at least a cash shop coupon or at least some pre-order/limited-edition tank and/or items. Hopefully both (but doubting both for only 19.99).

@Thrishmal It will come with a premium tank, an extra garage slot and some gold

@Zuljundwumn

Italian tanks are next: It's metal plates duct-taped to a bicycle and a rifle.

@Zuljundwumn

Not for awhile yet. Won't be this month or next. Heck, probably won't even be August. I think the French line is slated for 7.0 but don't quote me on that.

At any rate, not anytime soon. Wargaming seems to be incredibly slow with patches.

@hereafter I agree. If this counts as an MMO. I want to see some League of Legends on here too!

@hereafter

They have a World (Europe) map that clan matches can battle for.

If I'm not mistaken you need premium membership to participate.

@hereafter Yeah, the line is so blurred these days. Apparently you don't even need a persistent world. But then other times you do. When is Massively gonna give us diablo 3 coverage!

@Tezcatli @Averice

Massively does cover League of Legends in an "all-in-one" column and by statement release.

As for MMO, it seems it's a pretty flexible statement, as long as it is "online". "Massive Multiplayer" could technically be counted by game lobbies or groups playing in their own instances all at once (Starcraft could count).

It's like, define "a few". For me, "a few" is maybe 3, but more likely 4-8, depending on what your base is (like, "I have a few marbles in my pocket.") But, if you have a larger base, like the population of America, it may mean something like, "Fewer Americans choose to buy green-colored cars as opposed to black-colored ones." And that number could reach 10,000 green cars, more or less, compared to 50-100k of black cars. I mean, if there were a convention for people to drive green cars, I am pretty sure they could amply overfill a convention center if they all showed up! ;P

@Averice Diablo 3 doesn't even have the minimum requirement of being playable only online, I'm sure Joystiq will have a dedicated column though, like they have WoW insider.
